Shabby Chic doesn't just relate to
country style homes; grand mansions can also adopt this interior
design style and use it as the sole style or intertwine it with
French Provençal to create a stunning stunning room which oozes
class and luxury without costing a small fortune.
It's easy to get the look if you love
white and soft pastels; painting an old dinning room table and chairs
white is a great way to give it a revived look; accompany this by
covering the chair pads in a floral fabric and you're over half way
to creating a Shabby Chic dining room.
Wooden floors are perfect – if you
like a little comfort underfoot large area rugs will fit into the
scheme beautifully. Don't neglect your window dressing. Opt for long
flowing curtains in off-white or with a chintz pattern which pool and
puddle onto the floor.
Using old china dinner services and
traditional style cutlery and you have the look. Scour around to find
accessories which fit in with the overall look of your dining room.
Using personal objects such as old photographs will also help set the
scene.
Don't forget to fill the room with
vases of fresh seasonal flowers to make it even more welcoming and
stylishly chic.
