Vintage tea towels and table cloths
A stack of colourful vintage tea towels is a great way to add a hint of vintage style if the rest of your kitchen is modern and sleek. Same goes for a table cloth. There are some chic oil cloths in the shops that add a touch of vintage charm.

Plate rack
A plate rack - either the shelf type or the ones where the plates are stored in vertical slots - these are both decorative and handy. They add a touch of vintage display while keeping your everyday plates within handy reach.
Belfast sink and vintage taps
A Belfast sink and old fashioned taps are the perfect addition to a vintage-style kitchen. Franke do some amazing ones.
Panelling
Wooden panelling is a great way to instantly boost vintage charm. Use it on the base of an island or use it to cover entire walls or under presses above your worktop. Painted crisp white, cream or sage green, it can transform a kitchen.
