Shabby chic design showcases a combination of elegant and casual elements to create a beautifully blended look. When browsing furniture and decor in this style, you typically see ornate, vintage pieces with weathered wood or distressed metal finishes. In many cases, these furnishings also have a few modern comfort features, such as plush button tufting and cotton or linen material.

Generally speaking, shabby chic style is perfect for those who want to add more of a cozy, homey touch to their upscale, stately or dignified layouts. Along with giving your home a more luxurious and lived-in look, it evokes a hint of old-world charm to help your setup feel warm and inviting.

If you want to bring the cozy and sophisticated vibe of this style to your home, start small by adding shabby chic decor to your current design. Mount a mirror with a natural wood border and dazzling, intricately carved detailing over your bathroom sink. Or, use two turned-base tables with gracefully-sloped legs to frame your living room sofa.

Decorative wall art, textured rugs and antique family heirlooms make excellent additions to a shabby chic layout as well, especially if they feature ornate patterns and neutral or pastel tones. You might also consider using:

• Light Fixtures: Boost the refined, polished vibe of your shabby chic setup by hanging a dazzling crystal chandelier above your dining table or in your entryway. Or, place a set of table lamps with driftwood bases and woven mesh or burlap shades on your hallway console or bedside tables.
• Accent Furniture: Weathered lightwood side chairs, distressed off-white TV stands, oval-shaped cocktail tables with saber legs and upholstered, vintage-style storage ottomans with brass metal handles all make excellent shabby chic additions to your setup.
• Bed Linens: Shabby chic bedding often features plush quilts or thick comforters with ruffled diamond stitching. Bed linen sets in this style might also include billowing white bed skirts, decorative duvet covers and pillow shams with stylish swirling patterns.
