The charm of old things does not lend itself to logical explanation. Is someone able to tell why so affectionately attached to a worn grandmother's chest or an old frame with peeling gilding. Items with a history are similar to living beings, storing some secrets. If you can not resist their charm, then you will like the fashionable style of cheby chic. In the interior, the main emphasis is on vintage (antiquarian or artificially aged) things.
Although this trend in design is considered quite young - the starting point are the 90s of the 20th century - but many elements of style are borrowed from the British. The latter are famous for their manic adherence to traditions, they can endlessly restore the chairs, lockers, shelves, boxes from the ancestors. In their homes you will find tarnished photos of great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers, a shabby fan or a mirror in an elegant carved frame. Formed separate details in the whole decorative flow came from Rachel Asheville. With her light hand, shepherd chic in the interior gained popularity far beyond London. What began as a personal fascination with antique furniture, grew into the industry. Now Rachel owns stores in California, New York. She has released several books on design.
Do you already like romantic and unusually cute chic chic? Photos of rooms, furnished like a cozy house of an elderly English lady, do not give you peace? Well, it's time to move from words to deeds. First of all, we need old furniture. It does not matter what style and year of manufacture it will be, the main thing is visible traces of time. Antiques are too expensive? Give a vintage appearance to completely new things. For this, many ways have been invented: painting, decoupage, marbling and much more.
Restoring the furniture bought at the flea market, do not overdo it. Visible defects - this is a distinctive sign of the style of cheby chic. In the interior, some abrasion is valued, it is not without reason that the name of this direction is translated from English in this way.
The decor is dominated by white, which is sometimes diluted with the most delicate shades of pink, acry and cream. But this does not mean that your house will look pale and boring. Shebbie chic in the interior involves the use of a variety of accessories. Preference is given to floral motifs. Roses blossom on wallpaper, bedspreads, dried bouquets flaunt in porcelain vases. For the design of rooms useful crocheted napkins, pillows with embroidery will look harmoniously on the sofas. Photos in wooden frames, drawings on furniture, chandeliers with crystal pendants - these details enliven the house.
For the walls are purchased wallpaper with a romantic pattern (all the same flowers and birds). Do not like wallpaper? Try to paint the surface, giving them an invoice of rough, slightly peeling walls. Forgotten by many parquet from a natural tree is stacked on the floor. Shebbie chic in the interior excludes the use of synthetics. Only real natural materials. Your house must breathe and live, then the lovingly collected things in it will become the true keepers of family memories.
