Shabby Chic/French Country

Pastel, floral patterns, and cotton and linen fabrics also help define the style. Neutrals, like tans, creams, nudes, and blushes, lend shabby chic interiors a soft, romantic, and grounded impression. Updated versions of the aesthetic take in glints of gold and silver, and bold and colorful statement pieces to offset the omnipresent earth tones. The style is also distinctly textural, incorporating decor items like printed barkcloth fabric, chenille bedspreads, and jute rugs and curtains.
