Does My Shabby Chic Decor Have a Homey Touch?

As I browse the Shabby Chic decor website I get all kinds of questions about where to place an accent wall or which photos I should use for my home design inspiration. In addition to being a great place to display your favorite photos, I love Shabby Chic because its such a joy to decorate and create in my own home. If you are interested in home design and would like to incorporate shabby chic into your home decor then I hope that you will find this article useful.

Before you begin decorating in shabby chic, you should decide on whether you would like to make your Shabby Chic home a romantic getaway, or a relaxing, peaceful retreat. You can start by choosing which room you want to place your Shabby chic accent wall in. I suggest that you start in the kitchen, which is one of the most used rooms in your house. This is because you can find many uses for it, and it is one of the rooms that offers the best Shabby chic decor inspiration. It will be your guide throughout your home decorating journey.

Once you have decided on the focus of your kitchen you need to choose the color of paint or wall paper that you are going to use. You can find many choices for either in any hardware store. You might also choose to use a bit of fabric that you can pin up on the wall to dress up your walls. Remember that you can always paint over an existing wall to change the look of your space.

Next you will need to decide on what accent wall you are going to hang your Shabby chic clock or mirror. This is very important because it will help you achieve the Shabby chic feel. The Shabby chic look is achieved by hanging items with a faded patina on an antique accent wall. You can find these in many hardware stores as well as department stores that carry shabby chic furniture.

You will want to choose the colors for your walls so they coordinate with the other items you are hanging on the wall. To get this effect you should coordinate the colors of your paint, your curtains and your wall art. Paint and wall colors must compliment each other in order for your room to look cohesive. You don’t want to have distracting colors that make your room look messy.

In addition to this, you want to include elements from shabby chic decor in your home. The Shabby chic decor elements you choose can really add a sense of comfort to your home. For instance, by placing a teakettle on your dining room table, you will give it a lovely rustic feel.

You can also achieve shabby chic effects in your bedroom by hanging bedding items that are bedecked with lace or ruffles. There is a huge amount of choice when it comes to shabby chic bedding. The possibilities are endless. For instance, if you love floral accents in your bedroom you can easily find a shabby chic cami or a shabby chic comforter that is bedecked with flowers. The same goes for your wall hangings.

These days, you don’t just have shabby chic decor, there’s also Victorian and Edwardian decor. While shabby chic decor focuses its influence on worn fabrics and old furniture, you will find other styles which are very different. They focus on rich hardwoods, exquisite paintings and intricate carvings. If you love the intricacies of Victorian decor, you will be able to find lots of shabby chic Victorian decor online and in catalogs. These can be used to create a romantic feel or you could use them to create a country feel.
