Shabby Chic Dining Rooms – How to get the Look on a Budget

Shabby Chic doesn't just relate to country style homes; grand mansions can also adopt this interior design style and use it as the sole style or intertwine it with French Provençal to create a stunning stunning room which oozes class and luxury without costing a small fortune.


It's easy to get the look if you love white and soft pastels; painting an old dinning room table and chairs white is a great way to give it a revived look; accompany this by covering the chair pads in a floral fabric and you're over half way to creating a Shabby Chic dining room.

Wooden floors are perfect – if you like a little comfort underfoot large area rugs will fit into the scheme beautifully. Don't neglect your window dressing. Opt for long flowing curtains in off-white or with a chintz pattern which pool and puddle onto the floor.

Using old china dinner services and traditional style cutlery and you have the look. Scour around to find accessories which fit in with the overall look of your dining room. Using personal objects such as old photographs will also help set the scene.

Don't forget to fill the room with vases of fresh seasonal flowers to make it even more welcoming and stylishly chic.
