If you are lucky enough to have a vintage kitchen, you will definitely want to make sure your all of your kitchen accessories match the era of your home. This includes your kitchen canisters, which can have a real impact as the focal point of your kitchen if you choose them correctly.

If your vintage home was built between 1920-1940, you have a great opportunity to feature the black and white kitchen themes of that era. You can use hardwood floors if you must, but to stay vintage, go with black and white linoleum tiles set on the diagonal in a Venetian pattern. You’ll want white painted kitchen cabinets with polished nickel hardware, white Carerra marble counter tops, and a set of glass kitchen canisters in an apothecary style.

If you have a mid-century vintage kitchen built 1949-1960, you can have a lot of fun with ceramic kitchen canisters in bright colors that match your kitchen decor. You can probably find some really kitschy canister sets in the shapes of farm animals and other motif-specific shapes. Just be sure to remain consistent in your design theme and have some fun choosing your favorite kitchen canisters.
