Shabby-chic in the interior (50 photos): the best ideas for decorating rooms

Shebby-chic has incorporated elements of retro, baroque, vintage and other romantic styles. The term itself can be translated as "well-worn beauty."

Having entered the living room or bedroom, created in this style, the first thing you will notice is floral patterns. They are found everywhere: on furniture, curtains, walls, wallpaper, decoration elements.

Another important detail is color harmony. Soft pastel colors, soft and discreet. Wallpaper and elements in light delicate colors visually enhance the house.

Interior design uses white, cream, pink and lilac colors and their shades. For instance:

• Pale blue;
• Creamy;
• Pale pink;
• Smoky white;

This interior design implies that the colors should not be in their pure form, but in a slightly tarnished form. To do this, they are artificially aged. A real interior in the style of shabby chic can only be obtained by mixing these colors; then the design will turn out to be lively and interesting.

Shabby chic in the interior is impossible without antiques. It is not necessary that it be an expensive cabinet or a royal candlestick; any trinket is suitable. The main thing is that she loudly and openly declare her venerable age. In addition, they are often made with their own hands.

Any surface in the house (even wallpaper) should look shabby and have an elegant touch - patina. But so that the interior does not look too boring, it is enlivened by thin floral patterns that are painted in a slightly brighter color than anything else.

Rules for the decoration of floors, walls and ceilings

The right combination of all design elements will make it possible to fully enjoy the warm atmosphere of the Shebby-chic style. For each of the rooms in your apartment there are certain canons for decoration, but there are several general rules.

Walls and wallpapers usually create a snow-white color, using light wood with scuffs and slight defects. White lights give the room (whether it is a bathtub or an entrance hall) lightness and purity and allow you to play in contrasts: dark antique objects look very impressive against a white background.

Allowed to use and wallpaper with floral patterns. Carved stucco moldings and moldings are found. To decorate the wall, wooden panels with a pattern are used, mirrors in a frayed frame, shelves with flying paint, on which all sorts of trinkets are collected. The design of white brickwork adorns the space near the fireplace, although it adds a little rudeness to the room.

Only wood, preferably light wood, is suitable for floors. The flooring can be painted in light colors. In the kitchen or in the hallway, aged stone floor tiles are sometimes used. Shabby rugs lie in the bedroom and living room.

Ceilings - only in shades of white. To decorate, you can create wooden beams that mimic a rustic house. An integral part of the ceilings is a vintage chandelier. Many, due to the high cost, do it yourself.

Shabby Chic Furniture

The material is selected from wood. Then they age him and create a look of well-worn. Of furniture, everything that could be in old estates: a buffet, a bookcase, an armchair and a table with carved legs.It is very important that the wallpaper and furniture contrast.

Furniture is also used in luxurious styles - Rococo or Baroque: soft pillows and the aroma of bohemian antiquity. The living room and bathroom are decorated with items from the garden. They are either bought or made with their own hands, because interesting ideas for a home come unexpectedly.

Fabric on furniture - only in bright colors, with admixtures of floral ornament. Wooden parts can be coated with matt varnish or even wax.

Shabby Chic Kitchen

Decorating a living room or bedroom in the style of shabby chic is a frequent occurrence, even among the Russian population. But the design of kitchens is less common, since this is considered an impractical solution. Yes, cooking on a stove 50 years ago is not so convenient, but you can find a competent way out of any situation.

The kitchen should be dominated by rustic elements. For example, a country-style wardrobe or wooden beams on the ceiling. The ceilings themselves are quite simple to whiten and, if desired, to decorate with openwork stucco molding. Wall colors should be made in accordance with the rules of decoration. Wallpaper or paint needs to be taken wear-resistant. Wallpaper - in bright colors, so the interior design looks fresh. As a flooring, a modern laminate imitating wood is suitable. If the tile is selected, then it should be matte.

The colors of the kitchen furniture are light: shades of white and pale pink. All tables, chairs, shelves and cabinets are made of wood, with a look of worn-out. Upholstery can imitate burlap. Tablecloth - made of linen or cotton with lace. Interior design in the kitchen should be conducive to a delicious dinner.

The room is decorated with cute objects: vases with flowers, bundles of herbs, cones, white ribbons, baskets, etc. For lighting, candlesticks, a chandelier in the form of a candelabrum, metal lamps are ideal.

Shabby Chic Curtains

Airy, lightweight fabrics gracefully frame window openings and create an atmosphere of relaxed communication. The main thing is that the wallpaper fit them.

Curtains should be made only of natural dense fabrics. Outwardly, they do not look fresh and resemble aged panels. Fabrics can be alternated in several layers, creating arches and hanging sweets. Thanks to beautiful embroidery, a single composition is obtained. Curtains are created both in a single light color, and with elements of floral patterns. For decoration use openwork bows, pickup elements, satin ribbons.

Ready-made curtains are sold in specialized online stores. But you can make them yourself. In this case, ordinary curtains for the home, suitable in color, are taken as the basis.

To start, make a lace hem on the bottom edge. Decorative beads and ribbons adorn the perimeter and grabs. The curtains are lined with satin roses. A couple of moments - and the curtains that you did with your own hands are ready. You can come up with interesting design ideas yourself.

Shabby Chic Living Room

A room in the style of shabby chic should be full of many small antique details. To revitalize old furniture, pastel-colored pillows are used. Pillows can be taken and new, but sheathed with an aged beautiful fabric.

In the living room, both wood and forged metal (but always painted) can predominate in furniture materials. The main thing is that there are no corners and straight lines. The table is inherently decorated with a tablecloth, and the chairs with covers. A separate place is occupied by a wardrobe and a chest of drawers. The wardrobe is full of trinkets. On pillows and other textiles, a floral pattern is sometimes applied. Ideas for him can be found in old grandmother's books on embroidery.

An important detail is the lighting. A large chandelier in the center of the shelf made of crystal and metal with a patina will be the highlight of the interior. Sometimes a chandelier is replaced with small lamps or sconces. Near the sofa you can put a neat floor lamp.

The entrance hall with the living room are performed in a single motive. Bonding elements can be pillows. Place pillows of the same style in two rooms. Then the hall will merge with the living room.

Shabby Chic Bathroom

The bath should be wide, with bent legs, in shades of blue or blue. Curtains and curtains - thin, combining with the whole room. The bathtub is decorated with a mirror in the old frame, the design is diversified by dry flowers and shelves with shower accessories. The floor is either tiled or wooden. For lighting, you can use both small lamps and a large chandelier. For walls - either tile or wallpaper, but only moisture resistant. Although it is believed that the wallpaper and the bathtub are something incompatible.

You can create ideas for the room endlessly. The main thing is to ensure that the bath is not oversaturated with things.
