Make it clear Choose a clear glass or Perspex splashback behind the hob or install a row of white tiles above worktops to protect wallpaper. switch up Handles Give white cabinets a retro update with dark wood handles. Don’t be afraid to mix unit styles, too. Embrace retro shades Add colour with splashes of mustard yellow and avocado green and choose kitchenalia in classic mid-century shapes.
