Shabby Chic Style Decorating for those on a Budget
Some think that it is only
the older people that like to have their homes look antique; but
there are also young owners that want to create this effect to make
visitors feel as if it has been there for a long time.
This style is called
“shabby chic” and is basically a combination of the old with some
newer items. Anyone can search interior design magazines to get an
idea of the items ideal for the home before going to a furniture
store.
The first thing that needs to be done before moving in furniture is
to give the walls the “shabby chic” appearance. Purchase and apply
paint in the colors of soft white, pale pink, faded green or muted
grey. These soft colors can be used in every room of the house.
If painting is not desired, perhaps buying some wallpaper with those
same colors can be used. The person should have a budget in place,
as this is more challenging than simply using a paintbrush.
Homeowners don’t need to buy a lot of new furniture for the house.
There are second hand furniture stores, garage sales and discount
stores where suitable items can be found at bargain prices. Some of
the furniture such a particular chair is not meant to be used to sit
on; it could be used as a shelf for flowers in a vase near a window.
People who want to have a shabby chic effect can purchase some
scented candles to make the home smell new but yet have an antique
appearance.
The ideal shabby chic look should have certain items painted white;
or in colors that complement the color of the walls. An inexpensive
option to buying furniture would be reupholstering the couch or
chairs to match the color of the walls.
Curtains for the windows are also important. Use fabric in
checkered, striped or floral designs. making sure that the colors
match one (or more) of the wall.
A shabby chic style can easily be attained for the home by looking
at what is available and making good use of it. You do not have to
spend a great amount of money to obtain the praise of your guests.
