A shabby chic kitchen is a farmhouse kitchen with a softer accent: painted cabinets, open shelves of china and a table that has clearly been eaten at.

What a shabby chic kitchen looks like

Cabinets are painted in a chalky white, cream or pale green, with wear at the edges and simple porcelain or glass knobs. Open shelves display floral china and jugs, the counters are butcher block or worn marble, and a farmhouse sink sits under a window with a gingham or lace curtain. A vintage table with mismatched chairs stands in the room, and a chandelier or a set of enamel pendants provides the light.

Try it on your own kitchen

Upload a photo of your kitchen, restyle it in Shabby Chic, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. Your cabinet boxes, appliance openings and window stay where they are; door fronts, counters, hardware, curtains and lighting are what change.

Details worth getting right

  • Painted cabinets with a slightly worn finish read more shabby chic than any new distressed range
  • Display floral china openly, because the style treats everyday dishes as decoration
  • A vintage table with mismatched chairs is more authentic than a matching set
  • A gingham or lace café curtain softens the window and fits the era
