Soft kitchen colours
A kitchen cannot be described as shabby unless it uses soft shades like white, beige, and dusty blue. These can then be combined with sage green, antique pink, butter yellow... in short, all those colours that reflect the taste of the era. The result is a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a kitchen conceived as the heart of the home.
And the finishes? The wood effect dominates, even better if it's distressed, evoking the workmanship of old craftsmen.
Furniture for a shabby kitchen
As one of the most lived-in rooms in the house, the kitchen must not only meet an aesthetic need but also guarantee a certain functionality. So, what are the must-have pieces of furniture for a shabby kitchen?
An indispensable large table with well-defined silhouettes is perfect for welcoming everyone from family for Sunday lunch to friends for an impromptu dinner. If you have space available, opt for an extensible table to accommodate even more people.
Are you particularly proud of your porcelain dinnerware set? While waiting to set it for a special occasion, store it carefully inside a cupboard. The display cabinet perfectly suits the mood of the shabby kitchen and is notoriously known for its practicality as well as its beauty.
Don't forget to bring some greenery into the kitchen, perhaps by creating a fragrant arrangement of aromatic plants. If you don't have a green thumb, play your joker card with floral-patterned decorations!
