The shabby chic trend is here to stay. Featuring a variety of understated and pretty design concepts, shabby chic is great for decorators who want to reuse vintage pieces. Even newer pieces have distressed features to fit in with the “shabby” part of the name.
32 Shabby Chic Living Room Design and Decor Ideas that are Both Functional and Lovely

Shabby chic centers around white backgrounds. Most of these styles are on white or pale wood finishes. Upholstery, curtains, rugs, and furniture are often white. These designs feature pops of color in floral patterns, as well as gingham, stripes, and nautical motifs. Prints with lettering like vintage product labels are also quite popular. Many of these rooms also feature quaint crystal chandeliers and other vintage lighting.
The classic shabby chic living room is first and foremost a comfortable space. Plump cushions invite the visitor to set aside the cares of the world. With soft fabrics, shabby chic is as comforting to the touch as it is to the eye. Old-fashioned flowers like peonies and roses bloom everywhere, and candles burn in the corners.
While most shabby chic layouts are pink and white, they can also be done in blue. A blue shabby chic room presents a nice contrast to most of the spaces seen in our round-up.
