Make a Statement with a Shabby Chic Roses Theme

A shabby chic style is a design showing wear and tear or looking a little rough around the edges. It is designed around pallid colours such as yellows, pale pinks, blues and turquoise hues. Much of the shabby chic style uses floral elements to make a feature.

This room uses a shabby chic rose's accent. The wallpaper is duck egg blue with pink flowers. You can find shabby paper like this if you go to digitalpapershop.com where there is a wide variety of designs. The cushions, cupboard and even the pictures on the walls have roses on them. This is a very full on shabby chic roses style, you could just decide you want the odd accent here and there, here are some ideas.

Using Decoupage for a Shabby Chic Roses Accent Style

One of the most straightforward things to do with a fabulous shabby chic rose`s effect in arts and crafts is to decoupage furniture. Using your shabby paper which you can find at digitalpaper.shop simply cover the piece of furniture you choose in the design of your choice. There are loads of styles of furniture from an old cabinet you want to spruce up, or it could be something simple like a light switch.  Glue the paper to the furniture using a suitable adhesive and then varnish with clear varnish for a long lasting effect.
