White trunks are the most obvious choice in shabby chic homes, but you should also look for ornamental designs. For example, this could include wood carvings, harmonious lines, or cabriole legs.

Designer Advice:
Choosing a colorful shabby chic trunk can help it stand out against white walls or bedframes. You should especially consider introducing one as an accent if your room mainly relies on white… and you’re starting to feel a little overwhelmed!
