Ready to Go Shabby Chic with Accent Furniture

Shabby Chic is still a popular interior decor style. This fun style brings the elements of country decor into your home with a twist. The furniture is usually distressed and softer colors are usually used. It's an easy to do interior style that is cozy and comfy in feel. Once you get started on the shabby chic journey, you may find yourself wanting to transform most or all of the rooms in your house.

A great way to bring a bit of shabby chic into your living space is by inviting in the warm design into your room in small ways. Start off with a pair of lightly colored chairs and then add in a table. Remember, Shabby Chic doesn't have to match – the idea to blend the colors and overall look and not worry if every piece is a carbon copy of another one. It's okay to have a few different types of chairs in the room with different types of upholstery, your goal is make sure their colors all work together.

Another easy and lovely way to bring shabby chic into your home is by adding some art or photos in some simple wooden frames. You can distress wood frames yourself by painting with primer and then when that dries, applying a coat of paint. Then take a piece of steel wool and rub it along where you have painted. It will remove some of the paint and create interesting lines and give you a great distressed look for your decor.

If you're ready to make a change to your interior design, go for the relaxing feel of Shabby Chic!
