Shabby chic is a design trend that incorporates a worn-out but comfortingly beautiful aesthetic style into art. Originating from the English Countryside with worn-out look and faded furniture, Shabby chic decoration has come to refer to a stylish blend of the old and new; the result is an elegant balance of the vintage and contemporary decoration. They are characterized by muted and soft colors like faded green, light grey, and pale pink. Its goal is to create a cozy and rustic ambiance with the use of vintage and antique items.
Although shabby chic decoration makes heavy use of worn and old items, it most often features a heavy use of wall arts. Vintage and antique items are limited and cannot alone perfect the rustic ambiance of shabby chic design. Many wall arts are inspired by shabby chic with their soft, muted and, at times, monochromatic colors. Shabby chic wall arts are often rustic paintings fitting into the surrounding antique ambiance.
