The trend for vintage interior design and furnishings will perhaps end if there are no romantics left among us, i.e. never. To add a bit of charm to your home, turn to the shabby chic style. It makes your apartment shine and appear truly individual. The shabby chic in the living room makes it appear feminine, romantic and lively. What simple tricks and tips can you use to create this ambience easily on your own?
Firstly, do not use dark or intense colors and stick to the classic white in variable shades. For the seating furniture that is already available, get removable upholstery made of linen or cotton, if desiredsubtle floral patternor made of jacquard fabric. Decorate with multiple pillows, cozy blankets and don't forget the ruffles. You can decorate curtains, tablecloths, bed covers, runners and upholstery.
What makes the style seem so individual and personal are the small objects, decorations or furniture with flaws - worn surfaces, peeling paint, collectibles and heirlooms, antiques and antiques from different times. You will definitely find some at home and others you can get cheaply at the flea market.
Lots of accessories and old books shouldn't be missing and of course everything should look casual and a little chaotic, just so relaxed. Place porcelain vases with delicate decorations on the edge full of roses or other fresh flowers and complete the shabby chic atmosphere
You shouldn't buy everything - you can definitely make a lot of things yourself. Repurpose an old filing cabinet and find new use for it as a practical dresser for home furnishings or other purposes.
If you're missing contrast or some color, go for pastel shades and nostalgic motifs. Rustic wooden doors, gates and garden doors with metal ornaments or carvings become real eye-catchers as wall decorations.
Textiles, fabrics and upholstery play a key role in the furnishing style. They convey the feeling of living and living in the house.
