Elegant Shabby Chic

Allo mes jolis amis and welcome back!

Today I want to tell you a little bit about my favourite interior design style.

As you may see from the title, I’m obsessed with one variation of Shabby Chic which is Elegant Shabby Chic.

But first, if you are not familiar with the traditional Shabby Chic style, I’ll walk you through it :) .

The main characteristic of this style is that soft, rustic and feminine look.  This way of decorating was first initiated in the 1980’s in the United Kingdom, when they mainly used furniture from the 1800’s(most of which was curvy, French style furniture) and turned it into the white, elegant and vintage output. The idea of the furnishings is that worn-out, antique look which is artistic and beautiful to the eye. Since it is quite feminine style, it's natural that its characteristic decors are flower pillows, beautiful vintage chandeliers, chenille bedspreads, vintage fabrics and a lot of flower vases.

The thing I love the most is a variation on the theme, which is Elegant Shabby chic. It is clean, beautiful and lavish. The crystal chandeliers give magnificent and magical note to it, and you can use decorations such as birdcages, vintage clocks, mirrors with white Victorian frames, candles, cookie stands and teacups as jewellery containers. Basically it gives you a lot of space to use your imagination. 

Since I really like pastel colours and vintage things for decoration, I completely fell in love with this interior design. It is soft, rich, romantic and a little bit weird.

That's it for now mes amis.

Let me know If you liked this post and what is your favourite interior design.

Be safe, strong and happy.

Yours truly,
