This interior design theme is not for everyone, though. Shabby chic is luxurious yet still comfortable. This thrives in the spirit of seemingly old stuff yet new and clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This Style Ain\u2019t Shabby <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t ever let the word <em>shabby<\/em> fool you into embracing the principles of this wonderful theme. It may seem unstructured to look at, at first, but the lack of formal rules is what makes this style timeless. It brings in an effortless sophistication into any home.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t think of flea markets, though, or cheap retail shops or you would be disappointed with what you would find.<\/p>\n<p>Say yes to handicrafts, vintage textiles , and white, distressed furniture. There is no need to search high and low for the best whitewashed furniture pieces, we have everything that you would need to set up your shabby chic home.<\/p>\n<p>Get the look with these simple guidelines \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find a comfy seat that you can sink into. Beanbag chairs are simply awesome as they are laidback and they offer an undeniable shabby chic vibe. Rachel Ashwell \u2013 the mother of everything shabby chic \u2013 even commented that beanbags are, indeed, very shabby chic. She even featured an entire line of beanbags in her couture line.<\/li>\n<li>Whitewashed or well-worn table is a staple piece in any shabby chic environment. Man-made materials or straight lines can be forgotten when you\u2019re going for this style. The dining room can go with a table made with reclaimed lumber. Place this atop a faded rug, add some mismatched chairs, and finish the look with some basic slipcovers.<\/li>\n<li>Antique-looking frames that come with ornate designs will work well in this setting. Framed mirrors could be refinished in order to display art on your walls. Find one lovely artwork that you will highlight then find a frame, lightly sand it, and coat it with pastel or white. This should amply prepare the piece of art for the spotlight.<\/li>\n<li>Now, no shabby chic dwelling would be considered perfect without a chandelier. Find a modern repro that would add that needed quirky elegance to your shabby chic space. Hang the lighting piece over a table or in a corner for that extra light. Add beads to your lampshade to show your personality.<\/li>\n<li>Use leather chairs or seating units that have a sack-like textile. Find the faded florals and whitewashed furniture pieces then plump them up with equally faded yet clean cushions. Keep the rest of your space simple with furniture, walls and floors that have been whitewashed.<\/li>\n<li>Now when it comes to the bathroom, you can use a claw-foot tub, Venetian glass chandelier and a farmhouse sink to balance this look. This is no less than the ultimate mixture of luxury and rustic beauty. These unexpected pieces plus the roominess would be great for washing delicates.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t think that barn lights are just for outdoor living. Hang a pendant style lighting above the distressed dining table. This is a fuss-free way of creating a shabby chic dining area. A rustic bench plus a farm table are also delightful pieces. To add a bit of femininity, put some faded floral linens.<\/li>\n<li>No shabby chic home would be complete without white cabinetry. These will look perfect when placed on rustic floors. Include glass-front or open shelving inside the kitchen. Place your collection of mismatched china to present the perfect shabby chic kitchen.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t think that you will just be working with distressed wood, whitewashed pieces, or faded florals, though. There are so many other materials to choose from. Find mint green pieces, add a dash of raw wood, some rustic beds, and basic sconces and the place would be simply amazing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1080\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/04\/BLOG-8.-Universal-Furniture-Bedroom-Storage-Bed-King-987260SB.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1080\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1080\" src=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/04\/BLOG-8.-Universal-Furniture-Bedroom-Storage-Bed-King-987260SB.jpg\" alt=\"Universal Furniture Bedroom Storage Bed King 987260SB \" width=\"814\" height=\"522\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Universal Furniture Bedroom Storage Bed King 987260SB<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Antique finds and vintage pieces \u2013 the distressed, imperfect and cracked finishes, add the sparkling crystal chandeliers, old yet fresh-smelling linens, lots of white \u2013 yes, these describe the shabby chic style perfectly.
