Whether you are renovating the kitchen in your historic home or simply looking to add period appeal to your kitchen, retro kitchen appliances are one of the biggest ways to influence the final look of your project. Afterall, these big-ticket items take up the most visual real estate (next to your cabinets) and there’s no faster way to interrupt the nostalgic vibe of your newly restored space than with a glaringly out-of-date appliance.

At Cottages & Bungalows, we love to curate and share our favorite finds from across the web with you. Some of the products you’ll see on this page are affiliate links, which means that if you click through and make a purchase, C&B will earn a small commission at no extra cost to you!

It’s hard to beat the charm of an authentic refurbished antique or vintage oven, too—if you can get your hands on one. They can be pricey and a bit smaller than what you might be used to with modern appliances—but companies like antiquestoveheaven.com do beautiful work and restore old appliances to their original glory and often with more cooking power.
