As we mentioned before, shabby chic is known for its romantic tones. This combination of white and light blue with candles and little hearts as decorations is a true representative of this style.
Exposed Beams And Marble Tabletops
There is something country and cozy when there are exposed wooden beams in a kitchen. Paired with marble tabletops and other decorative details, it looks very lovely and shabby chic.
Refurbished Cabinets
If your cabinets look a little bit old and used, give them a makeover by painting them white. Add some cute, vintage glassware and other trinkets and you have a real, shabby chic kitchen!
More Is More
We’ve already established that when it comes to shabby chic, there are no rules. You can mix and match, add as many colors as you’d like, put some flowers in a nice vase and enjoy the new look of your kitchen.
White Perfection
This kitchen sure has some great ideas to steal for your home. White cabinets are always a good idea, especially when paired with wooden details. The signboard above gives extra coziness to the whole room.
Shabby Chic Meets Rustic
The shabby chic style includes many rustic characteristics and this is a perfect example of that. The floral wallpaper and the rustic rag are two statement pieces that make all the difference in this kitchen.
Open Shelves And Greenery
Open shelves are a great and very practical kitchen concept. When combined with greenery from your garden or the local park, it’s safe to say that it gives shabby chic and vintage vibes. Plus, we’re sure this vintage kitchen island used to have a different purpose but refurbished like this, it totally belongs in the whole concept.

You can create a shabby chic look with beige and brown details as well. The chequered floor as well as the old, rustic chair bring out the rustic charm of the kitchen.

A bit of elegance never hurt anyone, right? This kitchen looks so romantic and feminine. The white porcelain looks like it was taken from some dollhouse. Everything is absolutely perfect!
