Green shabby chic kitchen: what does it look like? How to choose it?
A green shabby chic kitchen is an excellent furnishing solution for those in search of design furniture that combines the traditional charm of rustic settings with the freshness of modern environments.
The skilful use of the colour green, then, facilitates the creation of a cosy, functional kitchen that never goes out of fashion and gives this room of the house the role of authentic protagonist.
What are the strong points of a green shabby chic kitchen?
Choosing a green shabby chic kitchen gives a home a cosy, fresh atmosphere with timeless charm. The colour green, which comes in many different shades, becomes the real centre of the interior design project. In its light or dark tones, it goes perfectly with the shabby chic style and makes it possible to achieve kitchens with a romantic and rustic, yet still elegant look.
The shades of green that can be used in a shabby kitchen are diverse: they range from delicate sage green, a very trendy colour, to olive green, timeless and with considerable charm.
Generally speaking, lighter shades prove to be the perfect ones if you want to give the room in which you prepare food a relaxing and refined effect, while darker and warmer shades help to create a cosy and intense atmosphere. Finding the most suitable shade for each project guarantees a customised and unique result that fully reflects the personality of the person living in the flat.
In addition to its neat and cosy appearance, a green shabby chic kitchen is also very adaptable. This furnishing style, in fact, does not place many constraints on interior designers and this means that one can play with materials, accessories and fittings. By alternating green-coloured components with pickled wood elements, integrating ceramic surfaces or inserting vintage handles or textiles with floral motifs, one can create a made-to-measure kitchen that is suitable for every need.
The layout and design of the various parts that make up the kitchen can also be easily customised, both to optimise space and to increase the functionality of the room.
When to choose a green shabby chic kitchen?
A green shabby chic kitchen is the perfect meeting point between the warmth and charm of rustic environments and the lightness of modern environments. It was from the ambition to find a meeting point between the classic, romantic style of English country houses and modern interior design trends that the shabby style was born in the early 1980s.
The kitchen is among the spaces in the home that best lend themselves to the application of the principles of the shabby style, interpreted in a more or less chic key. The colour green is an ideal match for the typical atmosphere of this style.
Wall cabinets and shelves painted green can be placed side by side with elements with romantic details, such as pickled surfaces, or with decorative elements that recall the vintage or natural style.
You can decide to install a green shabby chic kitchen in rooms of any size. In an open space, the kitchen immediately becomes the star of the scene and it is important to make sure that it integrates with the furniture in the living area. If you decide to place the kitchen in an enclosed room, on the other hand, the focus will be more on creating a room with an intimate and warm atmosphere.
Regardless of the size of the space, it is always useful to make sure that the kitchen harmonises with the other furnishings in the house, either in style or colour. From this point of view, it is advisable to select the furniture, floors and walls best able to dialogue with the shabby style and the shades of green chosen. This is to be able to create a coherent and pleasant result.
How to choose or design green shabby chic kitchens?
When designing a green shabby chic kitchen, the priority should be to create an environment that is harmonious, pleasant and cared for in every detail.
In practice, one of the first decisions to be made relates to the use that will be made of the colour green. In this sense, one can make this colour the centrepiece of the kitchen, using it for furniture and walls. Or you can dose it in a more measured way: used only for certain pieces of furniture, for example, it provides a nice contrast with wood that has been left in its natural tones or that has been antiqued.
To define the final design of the kitchen, the choice of materials is equally important. We have already mentioned the importance of wooden elements, in pickled or natural versions. As far as coverings are concerned, one can opt for ceramics with delicate patterns or natural stone. Both are perfect solutions to give a rustic and traditional touch to the room.
Accessories such as handles, chandeliers and textiles are the icing on the cake. How so? These elements allow for a unique characterisation of the kitchen in question, giving it a vintage or modern look, depending on the desired result.
