SHABBY CHIC

The shabby chic interior design style originated in the 18th century and transformed into the vintage-loving style it is today. Vintage furniture has always been at the core of shabby chic interior design. In fact, it was common for individuals to pass down furniture from one generation to the next. Then, each generation would put their own unique touch on it. Similar to its design sister, French country, shabby chic design has a very soft and feminine feel. The Shabby Chic Style is characterized by laid-back vibes, airy lighting fixtures, antique-touch furniture, and a vintage-inspired charm. It is inspired by modern designs, but it has some elements of contemporary design. Shabby chic is an interior decorating style that blends vintage and cottage elements in soft, romantic colors and textures to create an elegant, yet worn and welcoming look. A favorite for decades, shabby chic rose to popularity in the late 1980s. Shabby chic is still in style, but it is now considered less trendy and more classic with a few updates that freshen up the look.
