Shabby Chic

Shabby Chic interior design style originated in the 1980s from Britain where the aim was to replicate the opulence of grand country houses. Furniture was elaborate and French style interior design was evident in this interior design style too. Worn furniture creates a shabby chic antique look. This look can be achieved by using patterns, florals and checks. A shabby chic dining table might have painted turned legs, and table cloths in cotton or linen giving a feminine feel. This could be mixed with our pink blush candles, lanterns and decorative accessories, flowers, old-world textures, and mixed collectibles. Accessories are important in this design and finishing touches like the antique zinc tray set, antique white crown tea light holder, and rustic metal candle holder will add to the look. This can be carried through into a living area with lamps and bud vases of colourful roses on coffee tables and shelving.
