Bring the relaxed vibes of a beach cottage into your kitchen with a shabby chic theme. Choose distressed furniture pieces like a weathered dining table, a whitewashed cabinet, and wicker chairs. Use a color palette inspired by the seaside, such as soft blues, sandy neutrals, and seafoam green. Decorate with seashells, driftwood, and nautical accents. Hang sheer curtains to let in natural light and create an airy atmosphere. Complete the ambiance with a coastal-inspired chandelier, a jute rug, and a cozy window seat overlooking the ocean.
