1. Bedding – Choose
vintage inspired florals,
stripes, and patterns in
pastels. Mix and match
them. Throw in some
beautiful vintage or
reproduction chenille’s
for added texture.
2. Lighting – Hang a
beautiful chandelier
over the center of the
bed. Whether old or new,
the chandelier of choice
should be dripping with
prisms and glass
beading. When choosing a
chandelier you should
keep in mind that it
will be a focal point.
Choose ornate or glass
lamp bases with floral
lampshades
3. Paint – White of
course lends itself to
creating a very clean
look. If you intend to
use a lot of white art
frames or mirrors, you
may want to choose a
slightly contrasting
color for the walls such
as a white sage or a
soft pink. To create
pop, paint the ceiling,
doors, and trim white.
4. Wall Decor –
Beautiful romantic
floral paintings with
ornate frames are
perfect. Large ceiling
tin framed mirrors
hanging on the wall. For
a more dramatic look,
purchase a large mirror
and lean it up against a
wall creating a full
length mirror.
5. Furniture – Mixing
the old with the new is
one of the nicest
features of a Shabby
Chic bedroom. If you are
having trouble fitting
in an old piece that you
love because it is too
dark, paint it white.
Don’t forget to distress
the edges to give it a
natural worn look. |
