We love a fresh, modern kitchen (with
natch) just as much as the next design enthusiast, but there’s something about vintage kitchen wall decor we just can’t let go of. Which is why we rounded up 30 of our favorite kitchens that will convince you to add something old to your kitchen—no matter the aesthetic.
What’s better than adding a vintage landscape above your stove? Hanging a vintage chandelier in your kitchen, too.
We’re huge fans of hanging more unusual decor on your walls—plates included.
Leaning a 70s-inspired serving tray against your open shelves for sure counts as wall decor.
Vintage hanging shelves are an easy way to—you guessed it—display more vintage finds, like the glassware you see here.
Vintage trays are the perfect size to fill that awkward space between windows or doors.
Keep it simple with a single, minimalist sign above the sink.
Who says a guitar doesn’t belong in the kitchen? Hanging it near your
could inspire some early morning jam sessions.
Leaning old oil paintings below your open shelving creates a mix of rustic and modern decor. that we love.
We’re into the natural textures and finishes in this kitchen—including the rusty old blue and white signs above what can only be vintage teacup hangers.
We’ve never had the urge to lean a vintage, oversized chalkboard against a wall in our kitchen before, but we certainly do now.
Mix your modern, brass kitchen pots and pans with vintage, spray painted molds and pans in more interesting shapes for a messy wall of cooler than cool metallic decor.
This kitchen is proof your vintage wall decor doesn’t have to be the statement piece of the room. Adding smaller, more unassuming signs like the leaning one you see above leaves a personal touch without overwhelming the room.
Add a boldly framed oil painting portrait to the mix of already kitschy, vintage decor for an easy and fun statement.
Vintage storage shelving units, like this green spice rack, are our favorites! How much character (and color!) does this one add?
Most vintage oil paintings you’ll find at the flea market are smaller in size, but if you can score a larger portrait like the one you see here, absolutely lean it on your counter.
An older painting stands out against modern furniture and dishes—in the best way.
Everything about this modern-mixed-with-vintage kitchen is SO right. From the modern shape of the furniture, brightly painted cabinets, vintage tile, and “potatoes for sale” sign creates a cool, homey ambiance.
Get in on the
trend (#shelfies abound) with vintage versions! Feel free to paint them as you like.
What’s better than a vintage print or sign? A framed collage of a mix of old advertisements, of course.
A vintage-inspired sconce paired with open shelves piled with vintage bottles and dishes works perfectly with the modern black, white, and baby blue color scheme.
This vintage, country kitchen opts is a minimalist dream. Hang your old strainers above the sink for easy decor and convenience.
This white-washed shelf decor has our vote for the coolest countryside kitchen. The hanging horn (vintage, of course) is just the cherry on top.
Think about the small stuff, like hanging a vintage clock above the doorway to your kitchen. Paying attention to details like this can easily make your home feel more personal and full of life.
Again, a small clock over the stove is a simple way to add decor without cluttering a wall.
Pretty plates (in pink!) add a feminine vibe to this already kitschy, cute country kitchen.
Gold accents—like these vintage gold frames—pairs well with modern fixtures in mixed or matched metals.
