How to get the shabby chic look with pretty crochet patterns

The 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.
