Decor Ideas & Inspiration

French Country (style campagne) and Shabby Chic are complementary and add a romantic flair in a space. Both are European countryside styles.

While French Country style embodies curves, floral and ornate patterns, Shabby Chic style follows slight curves or straight lines with a feminine touch and an aged look.

Shabby Chic originated from English Country style; it uses a pastel colour palette which suits perfectly with natural elements used in French Country style like wooden floors, wooden ceiling beams and stone walls.
