How to furnish your home in Shabby Chic style
A Shabby Chic home is furnished with pastel tones, revived antique wooden furniture, natural fabrics and floral patterns. And not only that. A Shabby Chic home is much more. It is a blank slate where we can express all our creativity, because Shabby means rescuing forgotten objects and bringing them back to new life in unusual combinations.
There is space to express oneself and one’s creativity, to celebrate imperfections and elevate them to details of value. Living in a house furnished in the Shabby Chic style gives great satisfaction thanks to this creative aspect that makes it extremely personal, more ours. The dominant color is white, while the shades are pastel: powder pink, baby blue, aqua green.
All light and relaxing colors. The preferred materials of the Shabby Chic style are natural materials such as wood, not only in furniture but also in furniture accessories such as frames. The fabrics of the sofa and cushions are linen and cotton. For appliances, tin is the most popular, but also metal and wicker.

Well Shabby style furniture
Shabby chic furniture involves using antique or disused furniture and accessories, salvaged from grandma's attics and dusted off. These abandoned furniture pieces are brought back into fashion with some minor repurposing: varnishing the wood or painting it white.
In reality, Shabby Chic style furniture is often found on the market as new, painted with a faux antique effect paint. So if you don’t have antique furniture to restore, don’t worry – there are plenty of low-cost Shabby Chic solutions.
10 Shabby Chic ideas for home
Do you want to stand out from the crowd and make your Shabby Chic furniture unique and one-of-a-kind? Here are some original and impressive ideas to get inspired by.
1) Whiten the floor
The perfect floor for the Shabby Chic style is a light wood parquet that is very light indeed. There are whitening treatments that make it look white. Imagine how bright a room would look with floors and not to mention white walls.
2) The triumph of flowers
Fabrics play an important role in Shabby Chic style. For a true Shabby style, choose English country-style floral motifs with regularly repeating small patterns. For a more romantic effect, you can cover one wall with wallpaper in the same motif.

3) Lace and Lace
Shabby Chic furniture is dreamy and romantic. That's why lace and falpalà are the most suitable decorations to intensify its essence. Use them as decorations for shelves, furniture bases or centerpieces.
4) Bedroom? In light blue
It has been scientifically proven that blue tones are the best colors for the bedroom. In fact, the human brain associates the color blue with a sense of peace and balance, so much so that looking at a photo of a seascape is enough to positively affect one’s mood.
The bedroom is a place of rest for the body and mind, and a blue bedroom helps us a lot in this relaxation process. The Shabby Chic style loves pastel colors. So what better color for a bedroom than a soft blue, perhaps a light blue tone?

5) And the bathroom? aqua green
If the perfect color for the bedroom is sugar paper, the ideal color for the bathroom is a beautiful aqua green, always a pastel color, as the Shabby Chic style loves. Paint the walls aqua green and remember the same color with the accessories: towels, soap dish and toothbrush holder.
6) Fruit crates like vases or shelves
An original idea that attributes itself to the passion for recycling and natural materials that characterises shabby chic furniture is to creatively reuse wooden fruit boxes, hanging them on the wall on their long side as flower pots, bathroom items or shelves.
7) Add some country elements
Country fits perfectly with the Shabby Chic style. Then add some country elements: bricks, wooden furniture, exposed beams… the effect is an environment full of warmth and tradition.
8) Choose a wrought iron bed
The most romantic bed of all is the wrought iron one. Whether you choose white or black, with a simple or more elegant line, the wrought iron bed is the perfect Shabby Chic bed.

9) Use stairs as shelves
An original idea is to paint an old wooden ladder white and lean it against the wall to use it as a shelf. Perfect both in the bathroom, to place towels, and in the bedroom for clothes or books.
10) An entry console with a sewing machine
In Shabby Chic furniture, every piece of furniture or object that has been around for a long time lives a second life that is as beautiful as the first but quite different. An old leather chest or an old bag becomes a coffee table. The base of a sewing machine becomes the structure on which a wooden top will be placed to obtain an old and original entrance console.
