We know how much everyone loves shabby chic bedrooms--we're crazy about this style, too!--so we've put together this simple guide to add that romantic, shabby chic feel into your room! You won't believe how easy it is to pull off this look by adding just a few essential elements and pieces into your bedroom.

First off, the linens. Shabby chic doesn't necessarily means you have to focus on white fabrics. In fact, you can play around with a variety of colors as long as they are soft, delicate colors and complements one another. However, you'll find most shabby chic style homes featuring whites or ecrus as their base color since they are more reminiscent of the old french linens in which this style is based on.

The great thing about using white as your base color for the linens is that you can never go wrong with this color. You can pair it up with whatever wall paint/wallpaper you already have in your home and you don't need to go out buy new furniture to compliment it.

As for the furniture and decors, you have to remember that the basic theme of the shabby chic style is that everything looks time-worn, distressed, vintage and faded. So utilizing what you have in your home, especially furniture, is a big yes for this style. There may be a little extra work needed to achieve this look like: painting, distressing, rubbing and sanding but we're pretty sure that these extra efforts will pay off once you're done.
