Decorating a shabby chic style room brings a touch of romantic nostalgia into the home. You do not need to spend lavishly to create a welcoming atmosphere; with a few simple tricks, you can give ordinary furniture an antique look.
How to furnish a shabby chic room: tips and tricks
A room in the shabby chic style combines vintage-looking furniture with classic wall design. Aging techniques can imitate the look of antiques and save you a trip to the antique shop. Painted furniture is lightly distressed so that some of the color is worn away, often by sanding the edges. Another trick is to paint furniture in two colors, which makes it look older and more layered. Floral motifs, carved wooden or wrought-iron bed frames, classic wardrobes, and mirrors all fit the look. A full-length mirror with a silver or silver-look frame completes the concept.
Shabby chic room colors and materials
Neutral colors characterize the interior of a shabby chic room. Bedding made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen complements the style, while floral wallpaper in pastel shades, roses, violets, and wildflowers adds a gentle decorative note. Chandeliers and rococo-inspired details create a romantic atmosphere. Finish the room with vintage frames, fresh flowers, porcelain figures, and other delicate accessories.
