Shabby Chic Capel Rugs
Capel Rugs offer creative ways to give your rooms the warmth and comfort synonymous with the “shabby chic” interior design look.
Shabby Chic evokes the style found in large country houses full of worn and faded old sofas and curtains, painted and distressed furnishings, old paintwork and unassuming ‘good’ taste. Early forms of shabby chic were quite ostentatious, but the style has evolved and continues to be inspired by many forms of decoration. These range from 18th century Swedish painted furniture and decoration, the French Chateau, and American Shakers where simplicity is fundamental to the overall effect.
According to Wikipedia, shabby chic is ”popular in interior design where furnishings are either chosen for age and signs of wear and tear or new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique.”
Adding a few multicoloured, washed cotton braided Capel Rugs to any room will help transform them into the classically elegant look and feel of the much-loved, effortless country home.
