Shabby Chic Style

Shabby comes from English and means worn-out, distressed, weathered, while chic means elegant, so this style translates to Elegantly Worn. This terminology first appeared in 1980 in The World of Interiors magazine.

While it might appear worn-out, it actually creates an elegant, lived-in effect. In a shabby chic home, all finishes and furnishings are based on pastel shades, including neutral nuances such as white, beige, and gray. The furniture can be genuinely old and weathered by time or artificially distressed using specific techniques.

This style must follow certain rules:

• soft colors
• fabric details in cotton and linen
• antique-looking accessories: candles and candlesticks, frames and mirrors
