Give Any Room the Wow Factor with Background Shabby Chic
Posted by Olivia Sum on
Shabby chic is used in interior design for a style of furniture which shows signs of wear or tear or new items which are distressed or made to be weathered to show the appearance of an antique. The colours used for a shabby chic background are usually pastels such as blues, pinks, greens and cream shades. Here are some examples of a shabby chic designed room.
This room is accented with a gorgeous duck egg blue colour; the shabby chic background is mostly due to the feature wall which really makes a statement. You can find papers like this if you go to digitalpaper.shop where there is a whole host of shabby papers to choose from. The bedside cabinet has a distressed appearance in keeping with the theme and there is a rococo styled bed. The throw and pillows in a similar colour to the wallpaper brings the look together.
This room is not dissimilar to the room above although it has a more vibrant look. The background shabby chic effect of the wall has this time been painted along with stencil patterns which softens the colour slightly. The bedcovers match in with the walls with the added throws which break up the colours slightly. I love how the little vase of magenta flowers compliments the room sitting on the distressed green table.
