Designing a shabby chic kitchen

A shabby chic kitchen blends the shabby chic look — faded + relaxed, washed linen, painted timber, pine, creamware — with layouts and details that suit a kitchen. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.

Shabby Chic kitchen palette

Let warm chalk and flax occupy most large surfaces. Weathered pine supplies structure, faded sage can define one cabinet and dusty rose should appear in only a few washable textile accents.

Color roles

Warm chalk

A creamy wall color that stays soft without reading as brilliant or bridal white.

Natural flax

The grounding neutral for linen, rush, rugs and unbleached cotton.

Dusty rose

A restrained accent for one cushion, faded print or bedside textile.

Faded sage

A useful painted-furniture color that cools cream and warm timber.

Weathered pine

The natural wood note that prevents the pale scheme from losing depth.
