A new craze among the modern day home designs has emerged.
The shabby chic style has gained popularity in the past few years.
In fact, it has been in fashion since ages.
Only the name has been changed, but the design and the idea are the same.
It is the name that makes the people think that it is some new kind of idea in the market.
Let's get an idea of what the furniture holds.
It is basically an antique furniture.
The name comes from the blend of shabbiness of the antique furniture and the new and chic look gives us the new kind of furniture.
The antique furniture looks very elegant.
It is very interesting and has an appeal than the shiny look of the new furniture.
The shabby chic furniture pools together the names of both the antique and the modern day furniture.
The antique furniture has more weight in its looks and character than the brand new furniture just taken out of the showroom.
The only problem that comes along the antique furniture is that the same is very expensive.
You can also not even trust the solidness and stability of the furniture.
You may not know how long will the furniture hold its ground.
After that it will be no more than a piece of junk.
Another problem you may face is that antique furniture may not necessarily go well with the existing furniture present in the room.
The best part about the shabby chic furniture that it has numerous ways to work with different types of homes.
Buying a brand new furniture of this style can be very expensive as it is the most happening furniture in today's world.
The companies will overcharge for the same as it is very much in trend right now.
It is easier to make one for yourself.
Start with painting an old piece of simple furniture.
An old piece of furniture when painted and polished can give the same effect as the trendy and in fashion furniture.
It may not be the shabby chic style but the same is very effective in giving the same feeling.
You have to be very precise in choosing the paint for the job.
You should choose a light color, for instance white or light blue works the best for the job.
In fact you can let your mind wander off and choose any color you want but it should be in consonance with the room and the decor it holds.
The color you choose should also not hurt the eye after a while, which in most cases does.
San ding the wood of the furniture is also a fine job to be taken care of effectively.
In case of shabby chic, you need not sand all the way.
Sanding only a partial layer is considered the best job done.
A shabby chic furniture holds out for most of the homes and the styles they keep in their homes.
It is a nice and trendy furniture for the modern homes.
The furniture gives a traditional and a modern look that goes well with the name that has been given to it.
