A Shabby Chic Reunion

Shabby chic is a trend that has been around for generations, and it has recently come back into trend.

Trends are usually associated with music and fashion, however it's not only fashion and music that have their trends... interior design does too. Sometimes you may find trends come and go and the years later came back again (so hang onto those 80s dungarees). A classic example is the Shabby Chic trend.

Years ago many homes had vintage furniture which had that distressed look about them, that had been passed down through the family... this type of furniture was know to have a Shabby Chic feel. As we mentioned previously that shabby chic look is back, and is taking the nation by storm... Just have a look in high street stores, if their not selling shabby chic furniture (or products), they are using it in their display windows.

Like many shop owners (setting up their vintage display windows), to get that shabby chic look, people invest in furniture that has been distressed, rather than the modern look furniture. Some say shabby chic look furniture complements the home well and can really add character where its needed the most. It's not to say you should throw away all you new furniture (as lets face it furniture can be expensive), to get that shabby chic look for your home, you can also mix some retro looking items with modern ones to bring a more contemporary feel.

If you're after a French vibe, shabby chic look furniture is very much like French style furniture and it can turn your home into an old French house in minutes.

Now-a-days there seem to be far too many modern and new things around us that shine and look brand new. So it's not surprising a bit of shabby chic furniture feels like a breath of fresh air.

How to get the 'wow' factor!

If you've ever walked into a well designed, well presented tidy home, you would have got that wow factor. This wow factor is what so many crave to give people when they walk into their own homes, especially if they're serious about interior design. Shabby chic look furniture stands out and makes a statement and can also give someone that wow factor if presented right. Many modern hotels also wish to achieve that wow factor too, as lest face it the more wow, the higher star rating their likely to get from their customers.
