Shabby sheek or Shabby Chic bedroom design ideas
Many people think that Shabby sheek is a design style. The truth is that the style is Shabby Chic and the mistake is in the spelling of the word. Another common mistake is that this design style is a kind of decoration while it is a carefully planned look and has specific features.
Shaby sheek does not exist as a design style. Shabby Chic, however is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. Very often you will hear people describing it as “unusual”, “decorative”, “stunning”, “fabulous” and they will be right. We will show you unique shabby chic bedroom designs which are not only cozy but romantic, nostalgic, with elements of rustic and country style. The main characteristic of the style is the naturalness and simplicity.
When you look at a Shabby Chic bedroom or living room or any other room, the design emits a feeling of nostalgia for the good old days. As in almost any style, it is all about details – handmade quality furniture, classical forms with a simple finish, usually painted with white paint and bearing traces of time.
Now that we made clear that sheek is actually a misspelling, lets describe the main characteristic of the original style. You will immediately recognize it for the light neutral colors – white, gray, light wood, pastel shades and neutral color palette. The lack of updated furniture pieces is another typical feature and it is very often seen in bedroom designs. An old armoire is a typical romantic furniture piece.
For example – beds are either from natural wood or with iron frames with carvings on the wood and gentle curved legs. Upholstered furniture features checkered and striped pastel fabrics and floral patterns are highly popular. Light floral motifs in the decor elements, mainly – roses, angels, are seen in curtains, decorative pillows and bedding. You will not find metal surfaces, aggressive lines and contrast of colors. Even if the interior gives the impression of a cozy home clutter, in fact, every detail is carefully thought of.
