A Mid-Century Kitchen Table Texture

This type of pattern and certainly this colour appeared in the UK in the 1950s and was used for fabric, walls and, in particular, for adhesive plastic sheet.

This material, which a well-known UK children’s program called ‘sticky-back plastic’, was durable, of good finish and easy to keep clean making it ideal for use in the kitchen, bathroom or similar areas. Here it is used to cover the top of the table and the chairs in a dining kitchen making the room look bright and cheerful.

As ever, you can also see larger versions of this and our other work on our Flickr page which is here.
