1961 – Wood in the Kitchen
Even though wooden furniture remained a staple in homes in the 1950s, it steered clear from the kitchen until 1961. At that point, kitchen cabinets and stools made of dark wood made an appearance. Even appliances said goodbye to stainless steel and chrome in exchange for wood.
Another kitchen feature that was introduced in this era was the pegboard, which was a wooden board consisting of regular patterns of small holes used primarily to display information.
