Shabby-chic kitchen? 10 enchanting ideas to furnish your kitchen with style and romance

Choosing a specific furnishing style means finding the perfect harmony and combination of the various details that compose it. And in the case of the shabby chic aesthetic, the balance between the two souls - the more charming and elegant one (chic), and the one that values humble objects and favors a lived-in look for the material and surfaces (shabby) - results in something different and unique each time.

Depending on whether the balance is tipped in favour of one of the more charming details, including lace, embroidery and floral motifs, pastel colors; or is in favour of the simpler ones of old objects restored with creativity and an apparently unkempt appearance, the fact is that using this shabby chic style, you will always have a unique set of furnishing and decorations. Below you will find some ideas for furnishing your kitchen in a shabby chic style:

A jug with a slightly damaged, worn enamel and signs of aging on the paint of the table are combined with vintage-style objects, in simple materials, and white cotton (or lace) curtains.

A rustic kitchen, with many farmhouse details but also an undeniable shabby chic flavor: it is an ideal compromise for those who do not want to surround themselves with too many dominant elements or with a clear leaning to one or other of the styles.

Various shades of pastel pink painted on the furniture and kitchen accessories, all on a plain, white background. Once you have decided on using this color palette, it is only a matter of always selecting styles and decorative objects that make you recall of the life and times of a bygone era.

White and gray are the background to many pink or light blue objects, and, above all bows, hearts and flowers blooming on every possible and appropropriate area: it is truly a romantic kitchen that marries all of the most charming elements of the soul of the shabby chic style.

Often the elegant element (the "chic" part of the "shabby chic" equation) is a chandelier that recalls the crystal ones of elegant residences of a bygone era.

If, on the other hand, the style you like for your furniture choice is floral motifs, you can choose a delicate and graceful pattern for the kitchen wallpaper.

On the other hand, when the accent falls on the shabby element (of the shabby chic style), more rustic solutions will be chosen - for example, using objects that suggest a simple and humble life inspired by times gone by (like oil lamps and old teapots).

There are many DIY projects with which to fill a shabby chic kitchen with decorations and accessories, starting with the recycling of pallets and wooden fruit boxes.

Signs and old objects recovered from flea markets: these are excellent inspirations for this style and are emblematic of it.

Do you want open solutions instead of using closed wall units? Why not use shelves with decorated wooden support brackets?
