10 Recipes for Shabby Chic Style
Vintage and antique finds; distressed, cracked and imperfect finishes; antique linens; sparkling chandeliers; and lots of white. Though certainly not for everyone, for those who love the style, Shabby Chic is utter comfort and luxury. The spirit of the style is to work with what you have, enjoy the hunt for unique antique and vintage pieces, and celebrate imperfection. It’s not for everyone, but more than two decades after its rise, Shabby Chic appears among the top decorating search terms on Houzz. If you’re among those who would love to bring the look home, check out these 10 decorating combinations.
Leather chairs + grain-sack textile + faded floral + whitewash. Re-cover the seats of a pair of leather armchairs with rustic grain-sack material and plump up the backs with faded floral cushions. Keep the rest of the space simple with whitewashed floors, walls and furniture.
Claw-foot tub + farmhouse sink + Venetian glass chandelier. For the ultimate mix of rustic and luxurious, soak in a claw-foot tub beneath a Venetian glass chandelier, atop wide-plank wood floors. And why not try a small-scale version of the farmhouse-style sink in the bath? It’s unexpected, and the roominess could come in handy for washing delicates.
Barn light + rustic bench + vintage linens. Barn lights are not just for outdoors — hanging one pendant-style over the dining table is simple and fuss free. A farm table and a rustic bench are equally hardworking here, while the faded floral prints of vintage linens add a feminine touch.
