In order to keep the shabby chic decor consistent, you’ll have to limit yourself to only purchase the accessories that match your theme.

Colors for a shabby chic décor should be light and bright with lots of white or off white and aged looking paint. Pink can be a good accent color as can any pale color such as very pale yellow or green. If you don’t like the white look on your walls go for a light light blue or yellow instead and accent with white.

Use flea market finds and decorations with chippy paint to enhance the shabby worn look. Incorporate some feminine floral accents that will help bring out the shabby chic in your bedroom. It is recommended to group your accessories in odd numbers rather than even numbers. It always looks nice if your groupings consists of tall and short accessories mixed together. For example a night side table can have a lamp, picture frame and small pot of flowers as a grouping.

If you have a rather large piece of artwork try using it as a headboard. Hang your shabby chic themed pictures seven to ten inches above a table. Try to align pictures in different geometric shapes (vertical circular triangular or rectangular groupings) in various sizes for a different effect.

When accessorizing your bedroom don’t forget about the lighting. Lighting creates a mood and can be a wonderful enhancement to the shabby chic theme you want to create. Shabby chic lighting can be ornate or simple depending on how shabby or how chic you want your look to be.
