It’s funky, it’s eclectic and it’s understated elegance, all in one. If you love the throwback feeling that shabby chic evokes, reminiscent of a trip to grandmother’s house where the paint on the chair is peeling and the watering can by the yard is a little rusty, you may want to use shabby chic art to help you recreate the homely lovely feeling. Pulling the effect together is easy with some if these easy tips:
Define Your Space
Want to define a space in your house? You want to keep it cozy and comfortable, inviting and relaxing? Whether it’s the kitchen or bathroom, shabby chic art can instantly pull the look together. Consider shabby chic art for the kitchen, from a simple depiction of fork and spoon to unwinding with wine to personalize the space to your taste.
What about the bathroom, a sanctuary of sorts? A place where you unwind, soak in the tub and allow yourself to forget about the cares of the world. Define this space well with an assortment of bathroom shabby chic art. Think bubbles, bath soaps and happiness – a bliss you can easily create by either using a single art piece or a group of art.
Play to Your Style
Shabby chic uses cream or pastel colors with differing layers of interesting texture to achieve the old charm. When using shabby chic art, considers the overall tone of the room. Take into consideration the color and the décor you already have. Making sure everything blends together in harmony will help to create the desired look. If you have white walls, you may want to bring some colors by choosing shabby chic art with some pomp and funk. Or go with the general color scheme. Choose art pieces that complement or contrast for effect. Placing a cleverly chosen piece of shabby chic art with a group of DIY (do it yourself) décor can be stunning and absolutely charming.
Orchestrate a Theme
Striving to pull together a theme for a room? Choosing pieces with similar theme will do it beautifully. Whether it’s world cultures, or high fashion or flowers, shabby chic art has them all covered.
