Home design and styling trends are slowing going back to the rich, creative, and beautiful. Odd pieces of fine-looking shabby chic furniture are showing up to add character to the drab minimalism of today’s home interiors. While the clean lines and basic colour palettes are still trendy, you can inject an interesting and rich personality to a modern room with a fascinating furniture.

Shabby chic decorating exudes the charm and quiet opulence of the past, and is embodied by old, scruffy, and still graceful pieces of furniture. High quality furniture are usually handed down from generation to generation. If you don’t have one, you can search for good pieces in thrift shops, antique furniture shops, vintage stores, or chance upon collectors’ garage sales. Or you can create your own shabby chic furniture with this easy DIY project.
