Features
-
Add an herb garden for fresh herbs and a classic feel. Decor items that will add a classic feel to the kitchen include copper pots, stencils or decals on the walls, wine racks, vine or grape-patterned linens and curtains, and flowered cups and dinner plates. Houseplants and windowsill herb gardens can also help give a classic feel to the kitchen.
Considerations
-
Soft colors can help decorative touches stand out. Use soft colors for a classic feel. Creams, pale yellows, white, and pastels will make the other decor items stand out against the background. Pale walls are well suited to being decorated with stencils, lettering, or a wallpaper border.

Types
-
Decorative bottles filled with olive oil or herbs are classic touches. For a classic French country look, add wrought iron candlesticks, glass bowls full of fruit, and a hanging rack for copper pots. For a classic country feel, add light and lacy curtains, an apple-patterned tea set, and some natural wood furniture. For another classic feel, try paisley patterned wallpaper and similar paisley accents in the china, curtains, chair cushions, or linens.
