12 Amazon Products For A '70s-Inspired Kitchen

If modern kitchens are designed to invite you in with warmth and a relaxed atmosphere, then kitchens in the 1970s were created to welcome you in with a blowout party. The era was all about bright and bold while still being functional. Stark white? That was for doctors' offices. In place of neutrals, there were lots of wood, plenty of laminate, and gobs of bright details. So, if you are looking to introduce a little pep in your kitchen step, you've got to check out these 12 far-out Amazon finds inspired by the grooviest of decades. Any one of them will add a fun hint of vintage coolness to the busiest room in your home.

We didn't seek out an onslaught of disco balls or avocado-green tools (even though this was one of the hottest colors of the '70s). Our list includes tasteful but exciting window treatments, barware, statement wall decor, countertop canisters, lighting, decorations, and cooking accessories that stay true to the decade they're inspired by. We also left large appliances off our list, but if you want your kitchen anchored by a sunflower-yellow fridge or a light green stove, you can certainly find them on Amazon as well.

What's the fun of a slick, retro '70s kitchen if you don't have an equally throwback cocktail to enjoy in it? To serve your Harvey Wallbangers and Blue Hawaiis in, you'll love these tall glasses decorated with colorful, geometric cats that look like they could have been on the set of "The Brady Bunch." Stylish enough to keep on your counter, they're also perfect for non-alcoholic beverages like soda, juice, and blackberry mint lemonade.

While modern kitchens are all about letting the natural light come in through the windows, with minimal obstruction, curtains were commonly used to frame them in the 1970s. These charming, golden-hued vintage lace curtains are just 3 feet long, making them perfect for the smaller windows that are typically in kitchens. They're light and airy enough to let in some light.

These minimalist light pendants have both a cheerful, yellow color and wood accents, making them perfect for putting a '70s touch in your kitchen.

While a lot of us today rely on our Apple watches and Alexa to give us the time of day, back in the 1970s, most homes and kitchens had analog wall clocks. This starburst-shaped clock is something you might have seen half a century ago. It has all the right '70s colors and "look at me" quality that the decade exuded.

Macrame was everywhere in the 1970s: On walls, on clothing, and it even held onto potted plants, just like these two pot holders that can accommodate 8-inch pots. They display your green foliage beautifully and look smashing hanging over your sink or in the corner, swinging over your bowl of fake fruit.

These bright, whimsical kitchen accessories perfectly epitomize what a typical kitchen would have looked like in the '70s, from the flower pattern to the color scheme.

Having a new '70s-inspired kitchen may give you the urge to cook up some retro recipes. In this case, you'll find plenty of ideas in this throwback cookbook that contains instructions for dishes like tuna casserole, beef stroganoff, and Swedish meatballs (interestingly enough, these aren't even actually from Sweden). There is a version for Kindle, but since we're going for '70s vibes here, definitely pick up the old-school paperback version.

We love this flower-covered tablecloth on Amazon because it blends a '70s design scheme with orange, green, and brown hues, plus it's made of that darling fabric so prominent in the decade: Polyester. Catch up on old episodes of "Three's Company" while you're drinking coffee over this gem.

The history of Tupperware is fascinating; it became a phenomenon in the 1950s and '60s with Tupperware parties hosted in private homes, and remained hugely popular in the '70s.

This magnetic dishwasher sign brings just a hint of psychedelic design to your '70s kitchen. It's subtle but still fun; just slide the indicator to indicate "funky" (dirty dishes) or "fresh" (clean dishes). Although it's small, it has all the big green-orange-yellow coloring of the disco decade.
