6 Beautiful Things You Can Do To Create a Shabby Chic Bathroom  

Source

Shabby chic décor is unfailingly popular, offering both beauty and comfort set against a nostalgic and durable background. Here is how to transform your bog-standard bathroom into a shabby chic bower of delight!

1)    Fade to White

Opt for broderie anglaise curtains for bathroom window from Macrame Lace, and choose slightly faded but still beautiful fabrics for shower curtains, seat covers and floor mats: all your soft furnishings! These apparently delicate but lovely and often surprisingly durable fabrics give your bathroom instant appeal, adding in soft femininity without being clinical or unwelcoming.

2)    Gentle Distress!

Redo your cabinetry and other furniture by gently distressing it. Apply a base coat of paint and allow it to dry completely. Next, apply a secondary coat of paint in a different color paint (most shabby chic furniture plays on a pastel theme) and allow that to dry. Working carefully and gently, rub over the surfaces with sandpaper, working to remove some of the top coat, and, on the corners and edges, right through the base coat too. If you are not confident, practice on old pieces of wood so that you get the right touch for distressing your wood without ruining it or you can purchase new wood finish bathroom furniture from My Bathrooms and install them as it is for a new look,

3)    Comfort Chair

Install a wicker chair into your bathroom, preferably one painted white or in a pastel shade and possibly even lightly distressed. Not only does a chair add instant comfort to a bathroom, by giving you a place to sit for a minute and an ideal place to drape your towel or clothes if so desired, but it adds a certain shabby chic je ne sais quoi!

4)    Plants It Up

Pot plants, with covered pots (break out your old crochet hooks and some string to make your own unique pot holders!) add plenty of leafy greenery to the bathroom adding a hint of country charm to the décor.

5)    Hanging Things

Hanging baskets provide a useful way to store bathroom products even as they give a ‘country kitchen’ feel to your bathroom. Hanging plants and storage units all look great and free up loads of floor space, giving your bathroom some necessary spaciousness.

6)    Pretty Details

Add small decals, hints of embossing or embroidery, and other small feminine touches to add faded but timeless beauty to your bathroom. These little touches may not be significant in and of themselves but they add a wealth of charm and beauty to your décor that is worth much more than the sum of their parts!
