"We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. More people are stepping away from the minimalist, open-concept kitchens that seemed to dominate design decisions for the past two decades. We want to personalize our kitchens, considering how much time we spend in them. Plus, many of us are seeking cozy comforts in today's world. This has revived past trends like choosing charming 1990s kitchen color schemes over monotonous monotone and collecting secondhand cookware and serveware to mix modern and vintage kitchen items."
"The trend began in the late 1980s as smaller TVs hit the market. Kitchens were separate rooms from living areas, and people wanted entertainment during chores or gatherings. But when the walls came down with the 21st century, many people could see or at least hear their living-room TVs from the kitchen, plus some cable plans changed to charging per box, so extra TVs were an added expense."
More homeowners are moving away from minimalist open-concept kitchens and favoring personalized, cozy designs that reflect time spent cooking. Nostalgia for 1990s color schemes and the mixing of secondhand cookware and serveware encourages blending modern and vintage items. Kitchen televisions are reemerging after initial popularity in the late 1980s when smaller sets made sense for separate kitchens. Widespread open plans and per-box cable costs reduced extra TVs, but closed kitchens are returning and streaming allows multiple TVs without large extra expense. Homeowners can choose thrifted vintage TVs for a retro motif or sleek contemporary models that better fit size, weight and aesthetics.
