Think smart thoughts when you want to decorate a room cheaply and nicely. Some people believe that redecorating a living room will involve a big budget plan. It is not true if you can choose the affordable accessories, furniture and trinkets. You don’t have to focus on fancy materials. Pick up vintage ones that you can buy at flea markets or garage sales. Distressed vintage accessories and furniture allow you to transform the plain living room into a chic, worn look. The space will be elegant because you can put pink cretonne, gold trim, a charming whitewashed wooden coffee table and a comfortable sofa.

White Cakes Palette

A shabby chic living room looks bigger with a pastel white palette on the wall. Use pure white or vintage white to cover the entire wall. If the living room has millwork, apply the chalk-painted style to the crown molding, window shutter, and trim. The irregular finish, rough texture and worn tone characterize the shabby chic painting style.

old items

You do not have to buy new accessories and furniture in stores. For a shabby chic quality, replicate the clothes you already have at home. A classic white side table will be interesting to embellish with an antique lamp with a red brocade shade. Spread a vintage slipcover on a stylish camel-back sofa. The log coffee table is great for adorning with a tarnished silver tray, antique vase, and pink roses.

Fruits and Flowers

The final touch in shabby chic interior design is having unique patterns. Floral and fruit prints are the two most in demand. Put a pink floral curtain on the white windows. Combine it with a rod with a copper finish. If you are bored with a floral pattern, replace it with a fruit curtain. Additionally, you place a cream-colored bowl and fill it with pears, red apples, and peaches on a rustic wooden table.

Turning on

White and pink furniture will go well with a crystal chandelier. If the price of this lighting fixture is too high for you, buy a second-hand wrought iron candle holder. It reflects medieval times, but blends well with a shabby chic interior. Repainted in gold or silver finish. If you need a new lampshade, shape nicely into a scalloped one for a unique quality. The lampshade can be made of burlap, feathers, or ruffled lace to enhance the shabby chic beauty.
