If you were into interior design back in 80’s and 90’s, you will know that shabby chic was everywhere. It appears now, the French inspired faux antique look is making a comeback with 5,400 monthly Google searches and a whopping 174 million TikTok searches.

In terms of colour palette this trend focuses on creamy whites, pastels, and soft neutrals. The Dulux colour of the year 2024 titled ‘Sweet Embrace’ is the perfect example of this.  This soft, baby pink is warming and calming.

The more modern, 2024 take on shabby chic will focus more on romantic style, with wall mouldings and pastel floral wallpapers – think traditional Parisian décor.

Although it’s been some people’s interior style of choice for years, with average of 5,400 monthly Google searches for ‘shabby chic’, we think that the younger generations may just only be discovering it.
