You’re not alone if you’ve noticed a resurgence in vintage florals, secondhand finds, and an infusion of nostalgic charm in home decor. A trend fondly referred to as ‘shabby chic’ or ‘nonna chic’ is sweeping the interior design world in 2023, combining a modern aesthetic with the warmth and nostalgia of your grandmother’s house.

What is the shabby chic style?

A welcome break from minimalist interiors and a return towards a comforting, warm atmosphere to achieve a shabby chic style, embrace elements such as vibrant colours, an eclectic mix of patterns and textures, and white-washed and distressed furniture.

What is the difference between the shabby chic and cottagecore decor trends?

While the spinoff decor and lifestyle trend ‘Cottagecore‘ also heroes a nostalgic, rustic aesthetic, it leans toward a softer, nature-inspired ambience reminiscent of countryside living, whereas ‘shabby chic’ is a more emphasised, romantic take on interiors that juxtaposes vintage and modern elements.
