Shabby-Chic style in the interior

Everyone has different tastes and some people want to see something more tender, romantic, touching in the interior. And these people usually turn to the shabby chic style. This name can be translated as "shabby chic". And this name perfectly captures the essence of the style. Carefully selected rare furniture, retro decor, delicate colors - all this creates the atmosphere of a house with history, with some kind of past. This interior is very sentimental. Although, because of his emotionality, he is more inherent in women than men. And in this article we will tell you what characteristic features this interior style has so that you can recreate it yourself. It is worth clarifying that although old furniture is often used in this interior, this is absolutely no reason to use broken or completely damaged furniture.

Pastel colors

This interior style is characterized by pastel colors and light wood, although this choice is usually more typical for a bedroom than for an entire house. As a floor covering, it is better to choose light natural wood. It is desirable that it be unvarnished and have scuffs, bumps. This will give the impression that this flooring has been here for a long time. The best option for wall covering is wallpaper or painting. When choosing colors, pay attention to the whole range of pastel colors. Of course, most often you can see dusty pink, light blue, cornflower blue, ivory, powdery. But they are not the only ones - mint, gray-green, moss, pistachio and other colors are also in demand. The main thing is to correctly fit into the interior. Just remember that regardless of the chosen colors, the interior should look light and gentle.

Authentic furniture

The style and shape of the furniture does not play a big role. It is much more important that it be “with history”. This can be achieved by buying really old furniture or just by buying specially aged furniture. It all depends on you. If you think the furniture looks too unpresentable, paint it. Painted furniture is a classic of shabby chic. But this only works with tables, chairs, bedside tables, i.e. wooden furniture. But with upholstered furniture it will not work. Old upholstered furniture is often not suitable for use, as it smells unpleasant and its filler is worn out. It is better to buy new furniture, just in retro style. But you can use covers for chairs and armchairs. The chair cover around the dining table will only decorate the interior.

Romantic patterns

Floral patterns in retro style are another hallmark of this style. They are used for wall coverings, for furniture upholstery, for textiles. Curtains with a characteristic pattern will perfectly decorate and complement such an interior. As for the upholstery and wall coverings, the main thing here is not to overdo it, and it is better to use one thing in the room. Otherwise, the room will be overflowing with details, and this will not benefit the overall interior. If you have a small room, then it is better to proceed with caution even with one chosen option, since a small flower as a print on wallpaper or upholstery can visually reduce the room. In a small living room, for example, you can cover three walls with plain wallpaper, and the fourth with wallpaper with a floral pattern. So you add the desired pattern, and do not visually reduce the room, and add an accent wall, which will have a positive effect on the interior.

Homogeneous textiles and decor

To create a high-quality shabby chic interior, it is not enough to use a couple of characteristic elements. It is important to stick to the same line in everything. This means that not only furniture should be old, but also coatings, decor, even textiles. In addition, there are now a lot of items made "antique", so if you can't find the right wallpaper or curtains, you can just buy them. The same with the decor - starched openwork napkins, covers for chairs in the kitchen. All this must be present, otherwise you will not be able to recreate the atmosphere that is characteristic of this style.

Handmade

Handmade items are very popular in shabby chic interiors. It can be decor, and textiles, and even independently converted furniture. The bottom line is that hand-made products are more atmospheric and intimate than their counterparts, produced in huge quantities in factories. Therefore, hand-made things are valued more. These can be knitted chair covers, personally knitted by you. Or patchwork blankets. Self-made photo frames, flower pots, etc.
