Shabby Chic Dining Room Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a shabby chic dining room — plus the pieces that make the look work.
Designing a shabby chic dining room
A shabby chic dining room blends the shabby chic look — faded + relaxed, washed linen, painted timber, pine, creamware — with layouts and details that suit a dining room. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
Shabby Chic dining room palette
Let warm chalk and flax occupy most large surfaces. Weathered pine supplies structure, faded sage can define one cabinet and dusty rose should appear in only a few washable textile accents.
Color roles
A creamy wall color that stays soft without reading as brilliant or bridal white.
The grounding neutral for linen, rush, rugs and unbleached cotton.
A restrained accent for one cushion, faded print or bedside textile.
A useful painted-furniture color that cools cream and warm timber.
The natural wood note that prevents the pale scheme from losing depth.
