Last updated on July 15, 2024

What kind of bedroom decor do you favor? The days when the bedroom had to be crisp, clean, simple, and modern are gone, and now there’s a lot more freedom to experiment.

Shabby chic decor, albeit usually feminine, is very budget-friendly and allows you to create elegance without going on a splurge. That’s what we like most about this style.

But decorating your bedroom in shabby chic style doesn’t mean you have to go all in with soft pinks, floral patterns, and vintage furniture. Just a few accents in this style can achieve a very strong decor statement.

Mixing it with modern style is also a very popular way to decorate nowadays. So here are 33 shabby chic bedroom decor ideas for you to choose from, even if you implement just one idea.

Balloon Drapery

A balloon drapery panel adds something different to your decor and introduces architectural interest. This is exactly an accent that you want to see in shabby chic style.

Ruffle Bedding

Fabrics embellished with raffle add that boho bedroom accent which is also very shabby chic. If there’s one thing you’ll do, choosing embellished bedding is one of the best ways to add some of this style to your bedroom decor.

Old Shutters

Old shutters are whimsical and convey the message of eco friendliness that shabby chic is all about. Walls decorated this way will bring a lot of decor interest.

Recycled Wood Headboard

Now that we’ve mentioned eco friendliness, repurposing materials is definitely a way to go to create shabby chic style. An accent headboard is an excellent place to do it.

Shabby Chic Dresser

If you can get your hands on a vintage dresser or do a makeover of one, it will be the best addition to your shabby chic bedroom that you can get.

Shabby Chic Coat Rack

Add more small accents like this jewelry organizer made of driftwood and crystal door knobs. It can serve as a coat rack in your bedroom as well.

Decorative accessories can easily create shabby chic style without much thought. This birdcage embellished with string lights is an excellent example.

Tree Branches and Fairy Lights

Fairy lights can easily be used to add some chic style to your bedroom. This combination with tree branches is an extreme but truly beautiful example.

Old Window Frame Wall Art

Old Cabinet Door Lamps

Some whimsy never hurts shabby chic style, so feel free to use decorations like old weathered cabinet doors as lamp fixtures.

Shabby Chic Picture Frame

There’s a lot of floral decor in shabby chic style and it’s very easy to use it. Such as this chic vintage picture frame used to display an arrangement of flowers.

Floral Jar Vignette

The same goes for all floral arrangements – it’s all about simplicity. A vintage jar works well to display such an arrangement.

Floral Pattern Bedding

When choosing the bedding, go for floral patterns, especially those in pastel colors. This will create shabby chic style instantly.

Fresh Flowers

Always find a place for fresh flowers which go so well with vintage weathered shabby chic furniture.

Bed End Bench

A vintage bed end can be the perfect shabby chic accent for the bedroom. While this example embraces the style completely, it can be mixed with modern furniture as well.

Vintage Shabby Chic Stool

As we’ve mentioned, even small accents can make a difference. So if a single vintage stool is everything that you can add to your bedroom decor, go for it.

Laced Bedding

Laces will always work in shabby chic style, whether they’re used for bedding or curtains. You’ll never go wrong choosing them.

Vintage Shabby Chic Chair

A vintage weathered chair isn’t just a piece of furniture, it’s part of a vignette and a strong shabby chic accent.

An oversize mirror plays two parts here. First, its vintage shabby chic frame has all the visual appeal we’re looking for. Secondly, it expands the visual space of the room.

A lot of whimsy and the worn down look contrasted with beautiful floral arrangements makes a very strong shabby chic accent.

Shabby Chic Curtain Hooks
