You can’t go wrong with a white canvas and hardwood floors when it comes to Shabby Chic décor, and this home pulls it off beautifully! Characteristics of the beach life combined with casual interior furnishings and accents bring the shabby look together effortlessly. Pure white coupled with shades of ecru, distressed wood, and hints of metal is the epitome of distinctiveness and beauty in this gorgeously decorated home.
The style is soft with a mix of French style trimmings, wainscoting panels, and contemporary allure that fits well with the fabulous windows and glass doors. Lots of light creates an ethereal illusion and a feeling of lightness yet firmly down to earth.
Romanticism exudes from every bit of space without being overbearing and mundane. Various textures and patterns create an authentic creativity that gives this home the right amount of variety merged with simplicity.
Nothing completes the Shabby Chic ambiance more than a striking chandelier with crystal droplets. It completes the mood of idealism coupled with tradition based on contemporary concepts.
Dining chairs with weaved backing, a console, a tall Edwardian styled grandfather clock, plush pillows, and laced transparent curtains bring the look all together. The accents pieces enliven the ambiance while larger pieces actually create the backdrop.
Though the décor in this home is sterile, it’s comfy, friendly, and welcoming. The lofty atmosphere still depicts a “welcome home” feel. The environment is almost that of a country cottage. In fact, the décor can easily take on various settings all within the Shabby Chic concept.
What has made the space in this dwelling appear so open is not only because of the pure white shade. The walls have been left to the imagination without any interruption from shapes, colors, or textures. In addition, the paned glass partition maintains the privacy of each room but connects without breaking the flow from one room to the other.
The Shabby Chic design in this lovely space reminds one of how simple furnishings with touches of textures, floral, outside views, and natural wood can bring any home to life. It’s not about budget, it’s about creativity, style, and arrangement. Dedicating an entire space to a rustic theme works wonderfully even with minimal space. The white with natural wood scheme unites the “shabby” with the “chic” in this picturesque dwelling.
It’s breezy, it’s cool, it’s traditional, it’s modern, it’s everything you want it to be. That’s what makes Shabby Chic so intriguing. It’s all about how you want to decorate your space by mixing the worn with the not so worn, and bringing them to life all in one place.
