Shebby chic is surprisingly cozy, but at the same time a very special style. The easiest way to describe it is to use the words “romantic elegance”. It is especially suitable for refined young girls, but you can use it with a craving for elegance and lightness. Designer Rachel Asheville from England is considered the inventor of this style. It was she who decided to give a new mood to old furniture in the late eighties of the last century.
Shebby chic is easy to recognize by several key features. First of all, such interiors are necessarily made in pastel colors. Flashy colors or dark colors cannot be used in the classic version of this style. Tenderness must be pervaded by everything. Romance in the interior can be added using unobtrusive patterns.
Furniture in interiors in the style of shabby chic should have the appropriate processing and be authentic. A harmonious interior cannot be created if you try to furnish the room with factory models of furniture. The interior may be based on artificially aged furniture, however, it is best to try to get the old products that were used by our grandparents. Really solid objects are often inherited for centuries.
The main motive of this style is romance. Everything must correspond to her. Delicate motifs should be traced both on the curtains and on the wallpaper. Complex curls, pot-bellied cherubs are complemented by leaves and flowers. The interior can be decorated with pastel floral prints on the walls.
The atmosphere of the room can also be lightened with the help of furniture covers. They should be made in the same style as the rest of the textiles.
Shebby-chic is surprisingly capable of combining seemingly incompatible things. A common element can be a picture or color, as well as other details.
When planning a room in the style of shabby chic, you need to start with the definition of the base, that is, the main color. Textiles also apply. Particular attention should be paid to handmade and vintage products. Items made by the hands of masters should be required. Alteration of the old is the basis of this direction. Refined style can be emphasized by decorative figures, carved elements, lace.
Finishing must be done correctly, as it is also an important detail in the style of shabby chic. For the floor, for example, it is worth choosing natural, light and simple materials. Parquet is optimal, but you can use tile or laminate.
