Shabby Chic
A romantic interior design style with a feel-good factor. Playful patterns, muted colors, and antique furniture create a shabby chic style that tells its own unique story.
Typical of the Shabby Chic Style
- Playful romantic look
- Visible signs of wear, vintage
- Individually cozy
- High-quality elements (= chic)
Basic Guidelines
Shabby chic focuses on cosiness and the use of old finds. Here, it doesn't matter if grandma's beloved piece of furniture already has a few signs of wear.
Depending on how many playful elements are added to the light base, the result is an interior to fall in love with.
Materials
The focus is on matte surfaces, which often already show signs of wear and tear, such as peeling paint. These are combined with elegant woods, a variety of fabrics such as silk, lace, or wool, and floral wallpaper.
Products
Typical color scheme
Rosy, faded colors are the standard for shabby chic. Pink, turquoise, blue, cream, and yellow are particularly popular—bright colors are rarely used. Playful patterns add that special something!
Furniture & Furnishings
Flea market finds and heirlooms find their place in this interior design concept. A colorful mix creates a truly unique result.
Paired with high-quality, chic items such as metal lampshades, shabby chic takes on a modern touch.
