History of style:
To fully disclose the features of this style direction it is necessary to first tell the basic facts concerning its appearance.
This style is very young, it is about 30-40 years old. Among all style directions - it is one of the youngest.
Shebby-chic originated in the 80s of the 20th century, when British designers decided to use old things that were found at flea markets. They restored them, left some scuffs, reflecting the fact that the thing "with history" and resold. And quite expensive.
Shebby literally translates as "worn", "worn out". That is, shebby-chic is "shabby chic", "shabby shine". The style also has an author. It was invented by Rachel Ashwell. This woman from childhood lived in the atmosphere of flea markets and antique stores. Her mother restored antique toys, and her father was the owner of a second-hand shop. And the future founder of a new style direction in interior design from an early age began to engage in the restoration of furniture. In her first store, which she opened as a divorced woman with children, Richele sold restored finds from the market and things created by her own design.
It was she who shaped this particular style, in which things retained a touch of antiquity but added some new elements. The style became very popular with the thrifty English. And quickly spread around the world. After all, in antique objects - there is something special, tantalizing, attractive. But let's dwell more on the features of the style.

Features of the style of Shebby-chic:
Figuratively speaking, shebby-chic is like a neglected and forgotten room of a fairy-tale princess. A very delicate style, yet embracing antiquity, respecting history and the spirit of times past.
The style is characterized by the following key features:
- Colors are predominantly light, delicate, pastel colors (blue, pink, white, beige)
- Scuffs and artificial or natural aging, decoupage, painting are appropriate.
- Fine decor
- Luxurious furniture (but not as if it was just yesterday sent from the furniture factory, but as if it remembers many centuries and past centuries)
- Beautiful crystal chandeliers as if from the past.
- Love of presentable and expensive things (that have nothing to do with modernity)
- You can combine furniture from different styles, the main thing is that all of it was antique
- In the interior are appropriate any antique objects: large clocks, mirrors in carved frames, statuettes and busts, boxes and chests, candlesticks and so on.
Differences from other style directions:
The style is similar to Provence, but unlike it, luxury items, moldings and carved decor on ceilings and walls are appropriate here, and Provence is a more modest and calm interior, which does not imply a demonstration of luxury and splendor.
As for the classics and baroque, to which the style of shebby-chic is also very similar, in this case the main difference is that the more modern shebby can easily combine in one interior features of new times and antiquity. And, as we said above, all items of furniture and decor, made in the style of shebby-chic, will have a patina of antiquity. And for the classics and baroque - this is unacceptable.
Making furniture and decor in the style of shebby-chic:
Buy in stores furniture and decor in the style of shebby-chic - quite difficult. Find really worthy things at markets and sales - in Russia is almost impossible. Its role was played by the turbulent years of Soviet power and the fight against all the wealthy and bourgeois. And to buy antiques in Italy, in England, in other European countries - quite problematic and very expensive. And there is no guarantee that bought for fabulous sums thing, really, was made in the 18th century, and is not a modern "fake".
