Decor and furniture are some of the most important aspects of a shabby chic kitchen.
If done right, it’s possible to create both a rustic and feminine look
and feel. Salvaged and whitewashed wood, pops of pastel and time-worn
hints of the past are the cornerstones of shabby chic decorating. You
should look for charming, antique and distressed vintage items for your
kitchen.

While the overall color scheme of a shabby chic kitchen is neutral and pale, this is your chance to add a pop of color. Plants, flowers and dishes are just a few ideas you can use to incorporate bright accents. Don’t go overboard, keep it lively, but simple.
Some homeowners prefer to use a piece of furniture or paint as their pop of color, for example, a bright wall unit (standalone cabinet) or accent wall. Don’t be afraid to add various accents of other styles to your shabby chic kitchen vintage.
