The Shabby chic style at a glance
Shabby chic appeared in England in the 1980s and embraces a slightly faded charm. White-painted furniture lets the wood show through where the paint has chipped, fabrics are covered in pastel flowers, and lace slips onto a lampshade or a curtain. Vintage objects found at flea markets each tell a story, and soft light makes everything romantic and tender.
To adopt it, mix a few weathered pieces with floral textiles in dusty pink, mint and cream. A crystal-drop chandelier, an old mirror and fresh flowers are enough to set the mood. The key is a lived-in feel: nothing should look straight out of the store. Redeko applies this style to a photo of your bedroom or living room while keeping its structure, so you can see this romantic charm at home.
Shabby chic suits bedrooms, bathrooms and reading corners. It sits close to French country and cottagecore styles, and is a lovely way to reuse family pieces.
