A shabby chic bedroom can be feminine and have a vintage vibe to it. Its also perfect for guest rooms and even little girl rooms because the light and airy feel makes it perfect for smaller spaces. This is really an opportunity where you can do a makeover in your space and create a cohesive shabby chic design style without spending a lot of money. This is a way to change up your existing furniture pieces while giving everything a fresh and new look.
It is easy to go overboard with any design style. You really want to avoid this just because then your room will end up looking cliché and cluttered. Instead, this style should be elegant with very specific focal points. The furniture is a very important part of this kind of room. You can mix and match a lot of different antique and vintage pieces together. This gives you an opportunity to shop at thrift stores or go to yard sales to save money. You can also just mix and match nightstands to change up the look of your existing furniture set.
One of the really great things about this kind of design style is that it does rely so heavily on paint. You can use different wood finishes or just go with strictly painted furniture. This means that you can bring in color and you wont even have to paint the walls. This is also really important if you live in a dorm or an apartment and you have restrictions on how you can decorate. You can just bring in a little bit of color on your furniture. Try going with a distressed finish of blue or yellow to add a little bit of life and vibrancy to the room that wont overtake the space. If you have color on your walls then you can just bring in a plain white or cream piece.
