From the English phrase "shabby ckic" can be translated as "shabby chic" - this is the easiest way to describe this style. Beautiful, expensive items - furniture, small accessories, textiles - are artificially aged and combined so that as a result the room looks cozy, shabby, but also somewhat pretentious.
The main thing is to combine everything in the interior and not to overdo it.
The main color chebbi-chic - white. The color of simplicity and innocence, it visually expands the space, and also serves as an excellent background for other colors, including:
- mint - the color is soft, discreet and soothing;
- beige - the color is warm, soft and adding comfort;
- cream - similar to the color of whipped cream;
- pink - that gentle its shade which is often used for children bedrooms;
- peach - pink with the addition of yellow, delicate and pleasant;
- sky blue - the only truly cool color chebbi-chic;
- colors of natural materials - red bricks, natural wood and stone.
All colors in this style are pastel and cozy.
All colors of chebbi-chic are soft, gentle, pastel, soothe and create a feeling of comfort. If you like contrast, brightness and sharpness, this style will not suit you.
The classic room pattern is roses.
In addition to flowers, shebbi-chic also has a classic pattern - roses. They can be anywhere, but they should not be too much and they should be one of the primary colors.

Proper decoration - the first step in the design of any style.

In shebbi shikah, the following finishing solutions are allowed. ceiling:
- Coloring. Paint is not afraid of water, but also does not "breathe." As a result, the room usually has a heavy atmosphere, especially if the region of residence is characterized by high humidity. In addition, it is inconvenient to apply it, if you don’t have a habit, you need to work by raising your hand above your head. But the paint does not burn, lasts a long time, it comes in different shades and is sold at a very different price.
- Plaster. Thicker than paint, and therefore easier to operate. It looks just as good. Usually has a rough texture on which to draw patterns. He is afraid of moisture, but also “breathes” as well - as a result, the atmosphere in the room is better.
A popular type of ceiling finish is painting
- Wood panels. A classic interior solution that looks good. However, the panels are expensive, and need periodic treatment, because they are afraid of water, parasites and hardly endure temperature fluctuations.
- Whitewash. Not relevant now, but for chebbi chic is great. He is afraid of moisture, does not like sudden changes in temperature.
You can add a bit of scuffing to the ceiling.

To decorate the walls can also be different. For this use:
- Wallpaper. It is desirable that they resemble ordinary wallpaper made of paper, with a small pattern of roses. In this case, in fact, it must be either wallpaper with glass or non-woven wallpaper, otherwise you will have to change them in just a couple of years.
- Paint. It is much more convenient to apply it on the walls than on the ceiling, but it looks just as good. In addition, if you have a penchant for creativity, you can always paint it with patterns or drawings.
- Decorative plaster. Not only looks beautiful, but also pleasant to the touch. It happens in different colors, the pattern on it can be made arbitrary, with a simple trowel. Water is not afraid of parasites, too.
- Clapboard. Wooden panels for all walls will not work - for Chebbi-chic, this is too old-fashioned, too boring. But you can trim one wall with them, after which you can make the wood look worn. Periodically, the paint on it will have to be renewed - a tree without proper treatment quickly begins to suffer from moisture, dryness, temperature changes or attacks of parasites.
- Brick. Also, as with a wall, it cannot be applied to all walls at once, but it fits perfectly for one wall. It will look pretty, not afraid of anything, especially if you use a quality solution.

Furniture
The main requirement for of furniture in the style of chebbi-chic - it will not be able to buy it in mass stores like the same Ikea.

- you look in the Internet on sites of antiques, on sites where people give old things or on any flea market in reality;
- choose the furniture that you like - a cute Empire style dresser, a classic bed with a carved back;
- ennobles the furniture - clean it from stains, re-paint it, then artificially aged.

- Floor lamp. If the room has a seating area, a floor lamp in it is simply necessary. It should be tall, with a fabric shade in roses. Below it should be easy to read.
- Tabletop lamp. The bedroom is placed on the bedside table, at living room on the coffee table, in the kitchen at the dining table.Well fit lamp with a metal base and a glass or fabric shade. The light should also be warm, well, if the decor will appear roses.

- Tablecloth. A good solution for the kitchen or dining room, if you have one. Natural fabrics, white color, a pattern of roses along the edge - you will often have to wash such a tablecloth, but it will look good.
- Decorative pillows. Also made of natural fabrics, soft, with patterns, they fit perfectly into the interior of a bedroom or living room. In the bedroom will decorate the bed in the living room sofa or armchair.
- Cover. It would be nice to look on the sofa in the living room or on the bed in the bedroom.
