Whites and other light neutrals are the essential colors behind an effective shabby chic color scheme. Decorating in this style mandates at least a few trips to some local thrift stores to pick up a few vintage pieces that can really spice up the room you are decorating.
You also may be able to resurrect a few of those pieces you’ve had in storage or tucked away in the attic; anything that has that old, care-worn look can be used effectively in shabby chic decor.
A big fluffy couch with lots of pillows or an old loveseat or recliner that is still in good repair but just needs a little TLC may make great pieces for you to build the room around. A word of caution, do not take the shabby part of shabby chic to too much of an extreme; there is a difference between care-worn and worn out.
Slipcovers are a very big part of this type of decor and it does not take a great deal to make really nice slipcovers for a couch or loveseat. Choose a neutral color for the slipcover with a dash of vibrancy in the trim or piping.
A little research on the Internet will garner you several websites with detailed information on correctly measuring the piece of furniture you are making the slipcover for and making a pattern for it.
A trip around the neighborhood on the big trash pickup day may be very rewarding; one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Again discretion is necessary, you don’t want to bring home junk, but if you do find a nice sturdy piece of furniture consider bringing it home and painting it white. If you are a little more skilled you may want to consider distressing the wood by hand.
