Vintage finds, exposed beams, pastel traces here and there, nods to the agricultural world: these are the distinctive features of the shabby chic style.

The shabby chic style has recently resurfaced and is increasingly embraced by various interior designers. This style is highly appreciated for the warm and inviting atmosphere it creates and for treating imperfections not as flaws but highlighting them, thanks to the uniqueness they add to the design.

That said, we can’t think of a better place for this style than the kitchen, the heart of a home, where family members and guests gather and enjoy each other’s company. The shabby chic kitchen style pairs particularly well with natural stone and in open space projects: here are some shabby chic kitchen ideas we think you’ll find captivating.

Shabby chic kitchen island

Copper pans hanging above the table, vintage porcelain, and farmhouse chairs: these are just some of the essential elements of a shabby chic style kitchen. And in the photo above, we find them all beautifully displayed.

Shabby chic kitchen appliances

Ideally, you would find an old gas stove (even just for decoration, of course), while for a functioning refrigerator, we recommend one from the now very recognizable vintage brand, available in many color variants: in the version above in white. Stunning.

Travertine floors

The distinctive feature here is the travertine floor, which further emphasizes the rustic look of shabby chic. Indeed, the approach almost contrasts with the relatively modern-looking sink and appliances with their natural wood finishes, but the room is truly perfect. Don’t you think?

Reclaimed countertop

A reclaimed countertop provides the ideal surface for dish preparation in this kitchen. The pig-shaped cutting boards and the bread box, also useful for perhaps storing family silverware, are charming.

Natural stone sink

A shabby chic look suits most kitchens, large or small, so don’t hesitate to imagine your version, full of details that will make it unique. The color palette can be very simple and based on whites and neutrals, but you can still create a very vibrant decor full of interesting elements by focusing perhaps on the choice of sinks. You can find the right inspiration here.
