Colors

Furniture
Prefer vintage and shabby chic furniture, and if you don’t have it, you can just take some furniture and turn it into shabby chic pieces – sanding on whitewashed pieces isn’t difficult. Try natural wood tabletops, they will add rustic coziness. A glass armoire in shabby chic style will not only make your dishes stand out but will also give your kitchen a refined look.
