What makes the look Shabby Chic?

It is a general term which can be used to refer to a person or even an article which is more stylish rather than fashionable and where the style reflects quality as opposed to newness.
You hear a lot about this type of furniture etc nowadays and it is primarily a fairly casual style of decorating mainly created in pastels and sometimes using antique accessories.
It conjures of the idea of old lace tablecloths, light white painted furniture and soft comfortable sofas.
Shabby chic is really no particular style, but it balances out tasteful pieces with both old and new together. If you prefer bold colours then maybe this is not for you. Usually soft whites, muted grey and pale pinks, blues and greens are the favourite shades that are used.
People buy new old fashioned looking material and sometimes stain them to give the appearance of age and this they do by using tea! The overall effect is then a pattern that looks a soft creamy white instead of stark white, that just would not look right.

Often the use of floral, striped and check fabrics are combined to achieve a warm and inviting look. It is however much better to keep the basic colour background the same, for instance white or cream. Then try selecting one colour to repeat in every pattern fabric to get the right effect.
Almost any piece of white wooden furniture will suit a shabby chic interior design. Sometimes you may have a piece which can either be sprayed or painted white then sanded at the corners and roughed up to give the appearance of age.Painting furniture white, completely changes it from dark and heavy to light, fresh and clean.

What completes the look of shabby chic is the appearance of chunky large sofas and chairs that are warm and welcoming and make you feel right at home.
