Shabby Chic Bedroom
Shabby Chic is a relatively new style of decor. Bedding, furniture and other items that are aged and so some sign of wear are selected. Alternatively, new items can be distressed to appear to be older. At the same time, shabby chic incorporates a warm, fluffy, feminine and cozy feel.
Linen and cotton work best, especially in the bedroom. Linens are used to imitate and older, French style. Worn and faded pastel colors are common, and so are white colored items. Distressed fabric is often discolored or stained to give the appearance of a well worm item. Sometimes a fabric can be bleached to achieve this look. Bleached is a term often used to refer to this style. Ticking and floral patterns are often the design. Roses in particular are a favorite choice.
Typical shabby chic items include chenille bedspreads, ruffled quilts, barkcloth pillows, bedskirts, vintage lines and even antique light fixtures or chandliers.
