How can you create a shabby-chic bathroom design?

1. Choose a color scheme: The shabby-chic style typically features pastel shades, such as white, cream, light pink, and light blue. Choose one or two colors for your bathroom.

2. Use vintage or distressed furniture: Furniture with a distressed or vintage look will fit in with your shabby-chic bathroom design. Look for wooden pieces with chipped paint or rusted metal accents.

3. Add antique decor: Hang antique mirrors, wall art, or chandeliers to bring a classic look to the bathroom.

4. Use natural materials: Incorporate natural materials such as wood, stone or wicker. Consider adding a rustic wooden shelf, woven storage baskets or a natural wood vanity.

5. Install vintage-style fixtures: Choose traditional fixtures with a vintage or antique look. Examples include clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks or aged metal faucets.

6. Accessorize with textiles: Look for vintage-style shower curtains, woven bath mats or soft, fluffy towels in a light pastel color.

7. Add greenery: Incorporate potted plants or fresh flowers. This will bring a natural and organic feel to the bathroom which adds to the shabby-chic ambiance.

8. Take inspiration from vintage designs: Look for vintage decor inspiration from the 1920s through to the 1940s to create a classic design that fits in with your shabby-chic bathroom décor.
