Can shabby chic inspire the d\u00e9cor of a modern bathroom? Let\u2019s mix and match some design ideas.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Originating in Great Britain, shabby chic style recreates classical interiors where time-worn materials take on vintage flair. The most romantic version is reminiscent of the Provence style, which features pastel colours and (often) lots of white and beige. Lines are soft, fabrics natural, and cute floral patterns abound.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shabby chic is a retro, country chic style that can be re-interpreted in a contemporary key, blending relaxed, romantic textures and colour schemes with uncluttered, less traditional lines to make it more modern and in keeping with current interior design trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern shabby chic bathrooms: classical inspiration, contemporary influences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How do you mix two apparently opposite d\u00e9cor trends like minimal and retro? Can we find some common ground to design a contemporary bathroom<\/strong> with the warmth and elegance of a more traditional environment? Let\u2019s try together: we will identify the essential elements of a shabby chic bathroom<\/strong> and define those relating to choices of textures and d\u00e9cor features. We can then add touches of modern styling to create a shabby chic environment with a more modern mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect materials and colours for a shabby chic bathroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When fitting out shabby chic bathrooms, go for the natural, light colours<\/strong> typical of more traditional ambiences. Wood will have a rustic finish, preferably with visible grain, and an aged effect (natural or recreated). Taps and fittings with a brass or bronze finish, not necessarily of classical design, contribute to softening the bathroom\u2019s style: nowadays there are several metallic finishes on the market that can be used in different contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiles can also make\na big difference: from neutral shades to floral decorations, from\nvintage effects to the more classical patterns. This trend was\ndisplayed by many tile manufacturers at the recent edition of the\nCersaie exhibition (2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
