In a kitchen styled with a built-in pasta drying rod, you can embrace the rustic Italian charm. Opt for warm, earthy tones like terracotta tiles for the flooring and backsplash. Add wooden cabinets with a distressed finish to give a vintage touch. Decorate the space with traditional Italian ceramics and hang dried herbs and garlic braids from the pasta drying rod. Complete the look with a farmhouse-style dining table and chairs for a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
