Shabby chic is a quite soft style which fits perfectly for cottages but can be used at many other homes too. It easily can add a feminine touch to any interior and make it quite unique. Usually, in such interiors, you can find one or several furniture pieces that are heavily painted through the years and are showing through time-worn areas.

DIY Shabby Chic Furniture

The simplest way to imitate aged and distressed look on your furniture is by using faux painting techniques with glaze or by simply painting your furniture piece and sanding this paint away from some of its parts. If you want some of your lamps to look shabby chic then you need to use vintage fabric, making ruffles and cover these lamps with them. You can even make different metal objects like clocks or buckets to look aged so they fit your shabby chic interior nicely. Just use the right metal aging technique for that.
