How to get the shabby chic look with pretty crochet patterns
PrintThe shabby chic trend has been going strong for some years now.
Managing to strike a balance between elegant and laid-back, it’s not hard to see why it’s been a hit with home owners for so long.
Key themes of this interior look include distressed wood, soft fabrics in subtle shades and vintage floral patterns.
Shabby chic interiors also tend to have a rustic yet classy French touch.
Being a creative bunch here at The Knitting Network HQ, we think the best way to experiment with this theme is making the little details that can transform a room yourself.
