Shabby chic bedrooms: 13 ideas for creating a timeless, romantic bedroom
Furnishing in a shabby chic style means creating a delicate and romantic atmosphere, which looks like a legacy of a bygone era, like a space a little out of time in which to take refuge. This is why it is a style that is often adopted in the most intimate areas of the home, such as the bedroom, which thus truly becomes a dream environment in which to forget about the outside world.
Pastel tones, laces and objects worn out by time and recovered with imagination are the most obvious accents of this style: you can insert many vintage elements and many more charming ones. Take a look at the ideas below to furnish your bedroom in a perfect shabby chic style.
Various shades of white with very light pastel shades from pink to gray, which are almost imperceptible: it is a very bright room in which the fabrics and materials, as well as their shapes, rather than the colors, that create the shabby chic atmosphere here.
Accessories also do a lot to create the mood of a room: a lamp with tulle (fine netting) and lace and the base decorated with antique moldings is perfect in this style of furniture.
A pile of pillows with ruffled pillowcases, in pastel shades from ecru to powder pink: they are perfect accessories on the bed or on some armchair in the room.
In fact, even an antique-style armchair is suitable for the shabby chic style. With upholstery that matches the colors of the room, it will be a comfortable and useful addition.
Shabby chic is a type of decor where basic elements are combined with others that are more elegant and sophisticated, such as a headboard made with very rustic reclaimed wood and a vintage crystal chandelier.
Large stained-glass mirrors on the wall behind the bed, and also on the side: they decorate with a touch of the past and amplify the brightness of the room.
As for mirrors, one of the floor-length mirrors can also be made from an old door, with the paint still peeling left in place for visual impact.
Recovering old shutters, door knockers or other parts of fixtures to recycle with creativity is another way to furnish rooms in a shabby chic style.
A dressing table is an element that, if there is enough space, cannot be missing!
A curtain canopy that makes the bed even more intimate. They can also be built easily with a simple DIY project.
A niche for reading by the window, shielded by a lace curtain: it's a dream corner!
All the textiles used in these rooms will also be on theme: delicate floral motifs, soft colors, bows and laces. Thus, displaying them in an open piece of furniture helps to create the shabby chic atmosphere.
