The term "shabby chic" is directly linked with one designer, Rachel Ashwell. What started as one woman making slipcovers for herself and her friends has become a design movement. Her ideas focus on combining elegance with a sense of ease. While one can purchase products with her name and trademark, the term "shabby chic" has come to refer to not just her label, but a style of decorating characterized by comfort and livability as well as quality.
The Shabby Chic Home
The Look
The brilliant thing about the shabby chic look is its variance. The individual chooses items that look and feel good, and then arranges them in a manner that feels cohesive. Organizing a room in the shabby chic style doesn't necessarily mean matching everything to everything else. Each piece in the room should have its own merit, which earns it a place to be.
