All this is a design in the style of shabby chic, which has rapidly burst into modern fashion and has won a leading position with leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n

Shabby chic decor suddenly became so popular that it inspired not only interior designers: florists create wedding bouquets based on it, couturiers sew stylish clothes<\/a>. What does shabby chic mean and what are its distinctive features?<\/p>\n

What does shabby chic design mean, colors and accessories in this style<\/h2>\n

What is shabby chic style and who created it? Shabby chic (shabby chic, English) is a style of "Victorian romance" in the interior and decor, which appeared in the late 80s of the XX century.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

Its creator is the English designer Rachel Ashwell.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

She began by decorating old furniture purchased at sales and flea markets, initially for her own home and her family.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

Over time, her hobby gained momentum and moved to a new level – Rachel Ashwell created her own brand, opened a chain of decor stores, and wrote a number of books on design and decoration. Thus, a new fashionable trend in design and fashion appeared.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

The vintage style also had some influence on the design in the shabby chic style. Vintage (from the French vintage – long-term wine) is a direction based on a combination of modern and antique, antique items in the interior.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the photo of the shabby chic style in the interior, it has a certain “flavor of antiquity", things look worn, but solid, high-quality, expensive and loved:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a>\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

But, compared to the shabby style, vintage is more pompous, luxurious, expensive style, while shabby chic suggests lightness, airiness, simplicity and at the same time sophistication.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

There is also a clear connection between the shabby chic style and the Provence style (French country). Both of them are gentle, romantic, they have a similar color palette, many common decor items, the use of antiquity, the effect of wear.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

But there are a number of obvious differences – rustic Provence style furniture is rough and simple, without the subtle, graceful curves inherent in shabby.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a>\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

Each of these styles has its own “significant” decorative elements, peculiar business cards: for Provence, it is lavender, figurines of birds (most often a rooster), unpainted wood; for shabby, these are vintage English roses, angels and a lot of stucco in the interior.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

Shibby chic colors are dominated by light, delicate, faded, pastel colors and shades.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

Primary colors – white, beige, all shades of pink, gray-blue, lilac, purple, peach, light yellow; it is possible to use both pure tones and muted, “dusty”, as if faded over time.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

Graceful, delicate, cozy shabby chic details and accessories are the most important component of the style.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

They can be purely decorative or carry some kind of functional load.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/a><\/p>\n

So, for example, often in the interior you can see decorative bird cages, candelabra, metal openwork mannequins, photo frames with complex Victorian ornaments, fine elegant porcelain dishes, wicker boxes and baskets and, of course, an abundance of flower arrangements.<\/p>\n
