Shabby chic, also known as cottage style, is a popular vintage-inspired interior design style where home accent pieces are chosen for their age and obvious worn quality, or new items are treated to achieve a more antique appearance. Antique furniture is sometimes painted white and sanded at the corners for a distressed appearance.
Pink, mint green, and muted aqua are the colors most frequently seen in shabby chic accessories and fabrics, and fabric construction tends toward cotton, vintage barkcloth, linen, and chenille, sometimes bleached or stained with tea to look older. The shabby chic look of interior design also incorporates vintage chandeliers, lamps, and certain floral prints, large rose motifs in particular.
