White with Accents
Whether you are familiar with shabby chic décor and its origins, or not, shabby décor has a large use of hues of white. White feels fresh and clean while still making a splash and allows you to work with an abundance of other hues. Keep in mind, this trend relays on soft colors and pastels. The idea is using white as the base and working around it in order to make the room feel as open and airy as possible.
Going Minimal
Going minimal might seem like the strangest thing to do when you’re working with creating a shabby chic décor, but it’s actually one of the very best things you can do to execute your style seamlessly. Add soft textures with bits of vintage from other decorative items. Furthermore, consider adding wood elements for a softer textured approach.

Hues of Pink
Just like white, pink is a staple hue in shabby chic décor. The hue itself brings a feminine vibe with a laid back, artistic visual. When working with hues of pink you want to go as bold as possible. What this means is, you want to have the same hue displayed multiple times in a seamless manner. Pair with softer pastels to make the room feel grand in its own unique type of way.
Vintage Chandelier
Light fixtures are extremely important in any room, but they take new meaning in a shabby chic room- that is where a vintage chandelier will come into play. Having a vintage chandelier adds an old-world feel. The key is having your chandelier as one of the main elements of the room.

Wallpaper
Wallpaper is one of those decorating element’s that can make or break a room. It truly is an essential piece of décor particularly when you are working on creating a decorating style that isn’t seen very often anymore. Add a wallpaper with a repetitive pattern and allow it to make a huge statement through the room.

Distressed Wood Elements
Distressed wood elements combine the simplicity of rustic décor while still having that unique element that provides something unique.
