Shabby Chic Bathroom
Shabby chic style made its debut in the 90s and hasn’t gone anywhere since. The look has moved away from bright, oversized flowers and dusty pink wall-to-wall carpets in favor of subtler designs and warmly weathered pieces. We love a shabby chic bathroom because it feels feminine, luxe, and rustic at once. Look for white and beige furniture with a distressed finish, dainty flower patterns, and touches of luxe—think faux crystal—to get the shabby chic powder room of your dreams.

The DecorWhen it comes to shabby chic, decor is incredibly important. Look for anything that feels a bit country without being downright rustic. We love French accessories, ruffles, flowers, and mason jars. Pair country style with a touch of elegance—think burlap linens with antiqued gold or silver trays. Avoid chrome fixtures, bright or dark colors, and especially anything that feels modern. The perfect finishing touch? Add fresh flowers or potpourri for a lovely garden scent.
The NecessitiesBathtubs, toilets, vanities, fixtures, and lighting are all bathroom must-haves, but they can still be shabby chic. If you’re stuck with your vanity, look online for a tutorial that will show you how to weather the cabinets for a more rustic look. If you’re going brand new, choose white over dark wood. Look for fixtures that are brass, copper, or look aged. Add elegant lighting for the “chic” feel and—if possible—a clawfoot or copper tub.
