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.
