Shabby chic style or the cottage or farmhouse style of interior decoration as we call it is an amalgamation of rustic flavors, femininity and vintage elements. Do not take the term shabby in its real sense, as this style is neat and clean. It is shabby in the sense that no hard and fast rules govern it and the look is unstructured.<\/p>\n

Yet another extraordinary thing about this interior decoration style<\/a> is that it is budget friendly because acquiring most of the elements are easy, as in securing salvaged furniture, handicrafts and vintage textiles from flea markets. Those interested in this look can consider using following elements and features that are integral to a shabby chic style interior d\u00e9cor:<\/p>\n

Flowers and floral decoration patterns <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Flowers<\/p>\n

Flowers and floral patterns play an important role in a shabby chic interior d\u00e9cor. Whether you decorate walls with wallpapers that have flower pattern on it, drape your furniture in flowery upholstery fabric, or go in for fresh flower or dried flower decoration, it all will complement a shabby chic interior d\u00e9cor. They add a romantic, light, comforting and a youthful feel to this type of d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Shabby chic furniture and accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/p>\n

Furniture used in a shabby chic d\u00e9cor is vintage and antique furniture that looks no less than an artwork, such as the embroidered sofas, lace beddings and chairs. As far as the accessories are concerned, antique clocks, frames, old photographs, antique vases and pitchers, tapestry, metal signs, and mirrors go with it. Try to pick mirrors that have antique frames or brocade frames, as they go best with this type of d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

You can display old handmade tablecloths and napkins, runners and pillow covers probably made by your grandmother. It goes for the metal and woodcraft, as you can display ones from your great grandfather\u2019s collection if there are any. Antique furniture and accessories add to the sentimental value that a shabby chic d\u00e9cor has in plenty.<\/p>\n

Color scheme<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Color<\/p>\n

Shabby chic d\u00e9cor speaks volumes of luxury and comfort and its light color scheme has a lot to do with it. Soft white color tones, light pastel colors such as pink, blue and gray add to its elegance and the romantic feel. Light color scheme and bright light is a combination that works wonders for making a shabby chic d\u00e9cor charming and inviting.<\/p>\n

Table lamps and chandeliers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Table<\/p>\n

Having its unique character, a shabby chic interior d\u00e9cor style is all about beauty, comfort, charm, is calming and is nostalgic. Lamps with soft base shapes and light colored fabric shades, and chandeliers made of crystal and glass decorate a shabby chic d\u00e9cor so well, making it appear heavenly.<\/p>\n

Eclectic display of crockery<\/strong><\/p>\n
