Shabby chic is a style of furniture that has signs of wear and tear or the appearance of age. It is an antique style, with charming qualities. It can work perfectly in your garden space, yet you need to make sure you go about this rustic trend carefully. After all, the key is to create a garden that is elegant and has a timeless appeal, rather than creating somewhere that simply looks dated. With that in mind, continue reading to discover some tips on how to create the perfect shabby chic garden. 

Choose your garden patio furniture with care

There is only one place to begin, and this is with your garden patio furniture. After all, this is going to be the star of the show in your shabby chic garden. You have many choices available. You can opt for wood designs or you can go for ornate metalwork. The key here is to choose something timeless and elegant, with an old school appeal. You want to stay away from anything too contemporary, so no leather or minimalistic chair and table sets. 


A classic piece of garden furniture for a shabby chic garden is the wooden bench. All-terrain and undoubtedly a necessity, the wooden bench is a piece of classic, chic garden furniture. Wood that has been faded by weather and time looks beautiful in this type of garden. Place it in the corner of your yard, near climbing flowers or a trellis, and it creates a resting point that looks great too.


Recycling should be at the core of your garden space

A true shabby chic garden environment is one that has
recycling at the core. This does not mean that you need to go out and buy a composter. We’re talking about incorporating recycling into the design. So, think about different items that are in common use in the garden, and then think about how these can be repurposed from a design sense. For example, you can use wheelbarrows and watering cans for displaying flowers in a chic bohemian way. 


Simple places for relaxation

There are simple yet effective ways to pay tribute to nomadic outdoor life. This includes a hammock or a wooden garden swing. In fact, we have seen a great example of a wooden swing that has been crafted using a recycled pallet and dressed in colourful fabrics, giving you the ideal place to rest or take a nap while the sun is shining. Be resourceful and inject a bit of DIY into your garden for a true shabby chic feel. You may want to invest in
electrical supplies so you can have a music set-up in this area.


Create an old portal for the entrance
When designing your garden, you need to consider every corner of it. After all, every element of your garden is working toward the design. Because of this, there is arguably no part of the garden that is more important than the entrance. This sets the tone for the rest of the garden and gives guests a taste of what they are in for. This is why you need to think about how you are going to create a charming and old school feel. This does not need to be difficult. There is nothing quite like an old gate to accentuate a shabby chic garden. You can highlight the gate with bright colours.
