Buying Guide

If you've decided that one of the bedrooms of your home is going to be decorated in a shabby chic style, there are plenty of different things to explore. Shabby chic bedroom sets are one of the easiest and quickest ways to add some style to the room without spending too much time or money. Choosing bedding can be difficult, but if you already know that you want shabby chic, the rest is just detail. Here are some things to help you decide on the perfect shabby chic bedroom sets for you.

What materials are typical for shabby chic bedroom sets?

A wide variety of materials are used to make shabby chic bedroom sets, and you may find several materials used in the same set. Here are some of the most popular materials that you are bound to come across at some point.

Lace: This is a popular material for all bedding, but it lends itself particularly well to shabby chic bedding. It's rare that you'll find a set which is made completely of lace, so normally you will find lace around the edges of the pillowcases or the bottom of the duvet cover.
Cotton: A cheap and popular material, cotton is possibly the most common material used for shabby chic bedroom sets. This doesn't mean that other materials aren't used alongside it, but it forms a good base and keeps costs low for the buyer.
Ribbon: Another material which is often used, this is commonly seen in pink or purple along the bottom of the duvet cover. They may be tied into small bows as extra features on the bedding, or there may be a simple string or ribbon to add extra color and interest.
Silk: If you want something very luxurious to put on your bed at night, you can consider silk shabby chic bedroom sets. You should remember that with any materials, you will need to clean them, and since bedding requires cleaning more than many other household items, you may find that it's tricky getting the right products or even finding the time to wash the silk bedding by hand.
Ruffles: As soon as you think about shabby chic designs, ruffles are a material and feature which springs to mind. One of the great things about ruffles is that you can have them in various different colors, creating a soft rainbow effect for your bedroom.

What are the most common patterns featured in Shabby Chic bedding?

Apart from the material, the other feature that makes bedding into a shabby chic design is the pattern. There are several patterns that are very common and often seem to appear whenever you see shabby chic bedding. Let's take a quick look at some of the most popular:

Floral: This is definitely one of the most common patterns you will see for shabby chic bedroom sets. The most popular colors are pink and lilac, although you may see baby blue and yellow shades too.
Patchwork: This can be an effect which looks beautifully authentic, but is easier to come across than you might initially imagine. This is usually full of many different colors and shapes, including flowers, swirls, and circles.
