Shabby chic style It has its origins in Great Britain, where owners decorated houses with old, painted furniture. Over time, this way of decorating has become a style in interior design. The relaxing atmosphere and romantic tone make it the perfect choice for furnishing and decorating your bedroom.
What are the basic elements of this style? First of all, we're talking about using pieces of furniture with an old look. The main materials are wood and iron. If you are on a tight budget, you can even use old furniture that you can refurbish, preserving the worn look.
Also, in commerce you can find furniture pieces made in this style from materials and paint that imitate the old look. Specific to this style is painting on furniture. Most often, floral motifs are used.
The color scheme is governed by pastel tones. Besides white, specific are pale pink, blue and pistachio green. Shades of gray and cream are also found.
Textiles are found in a mix of textures. Attention is focused on details, so we find floral prints and lace edges. The bedspreads are arranged in an elegant "drape," and the curtains are in light shades, with a floating, intimate look. Lamps with lampshades, elegant chandeliers with warm light are used to create the intimate and comfortable atmosphere.
Regarding decorations, flowers, which are most often roses, represent a defining element of this style. They are found in paintings, prints, or natural, in elegant vases. The gallery presents 10 bedrooms furnished and decorated in the shabby chic style from which you can draw inspiration.
