Looking for shabby chic home decor with plenty of pretty little details? Think pink flowers, chipped painted furniture and cream-colored rooms with a few patterns mixed in. These ideas range from a simple pitcher of blooms to bedrooms filled with roses and ruffles.
You can keep things simple or go all out. Start with a corner you’d like to change, then decide whether you want a little color, a floral print or a whole wall of favorite pictures.
Shabby Chic Decorating Ideas to Save
cream layers and blush flowers
We’re starting off strong with this pretty cream-colored living room. I love the scalloped edges draped over the sofa and the little blush cushion tucked between the larger pillows.
If you want to follow this look, pair pale flowers with a white vase. The small gold-colored picture frames are a lovely finishing touch.

floral bedding and a pale green dresser
How cute is this bedroom? The floral bedding and chipped pale green dresser look so pretty together.
A cream throw hangs over the curved footboard.
Try a pitcher of pink roses beside a small green plant to bring the same colors onto your bedside table.
pink drawers and blossom branches
I am obsessed with this pink dresser. The worn-looking paint and dark decorative handles are gorgeous, but those tall flowering branches might be my favorite part.
Keep your smaller flower arrangements low if you want to try this same mix. The big cream pitcher gets plenty of room above them.
white pitchers and floral curtains
If you love displaying your dishes, this one is for you. White pitchers, bowls and patterned plates fill the shelves of a chipped white hutch.
The floral curtains below the drawers are such a cute detail. Try a rose print for your own cabinet opening if you want something different from solid doors.
rose wallpaper and a clawfoot tub
This bathroom may just be one of my favorites here. I love the pink rose wallpaper above the pale paneled walls.
The brown vanity and matching mirror frame look lovely beside it.

Bring in a pink towel if you want a small detail to match the flowers. That round, openwork rug is pretty too.
ruffled tablecloth and ornate chairs
Want to go all out? There’s so much to love here, from the chandelier’s hanging drops to the tall carved chair backs.
The tablecloth has rows of ruffles almost reaching the floor. I’d keep the pink flower arrangements if you’re taking inspiration from this dining room.
a pink tub and framed prints
How adorable is this pink bathtub? Even the decorative feet match!
The patterned rug brings more pink into the room without everything being the same shade.
Try a small group of framed prints above your tub, positioned away from splashes. The mix of white and gold-colored frames here is worth saving.
pale blue pillows and shells
Don’t want pink in every room? No problem!
This living room pairs white seating with pale blue pillows and a whitewashed-looking coffee table.
I love the shell-filled tray in the middle. Try a similar arrangement if you want to give your shabby chic pieces a beach-inspired twist.
floral vanity and a lavender stool
This is one for anyone who loves an ornate mirror. The cream-colored scrolls continue onto the vanity, with little pink floral designs across the drawers and top.
The lavender stool is my favorite extra touch. You don’t need to cover the top with accessories when the furniture already has this much detail.
pink blooms in a white pitcher
If you’re looking for a little decorating idea without lots of pieces, go with this white pitcher of pale pink flowers. It sits on a cream chair with a few loose petals below.
Try yours on a side table if you’d rather keep the chair free.
floral porch seating
I love this porch with its white open-weave seating and colorful floral cushions. The long chaise gives you another place to repeat that pretty print.

Hanging ferns fill the space above the furniture. For your own porch, choose cushions intended for the conditions where you’ll use them.
cream nursery and botanical pictures
The framed botanical pictures are such a pretty part of this nursery. I especially love them with the cream crib and scalloped window curtain.
Borrow the wall colors and artwork for your own room, but leave pillows, loose blankets and padded bumpers out of an infant’s crib. Use a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet instead.
stacked cases and scalloped edges
Here’s a cute way to display a few old-looking suitcases. The dark stacked cases sit beneath folded white pieces with rows of scalloped, openwork edges.
I’d keep this little arrangement beside a chair, just like it is here. The hanging luggage tags are a lovely detail.
rose-print settee and pink pillows
I am obsessed with this floral settee. It’s so pretty, plus that round pink cushion is adorable.
The little heart pillow and ruffled square cushions add even more detail. Choose a round cushion for your own sofa if you want to try just one part of this look.
a collected gallery wall
Want to put your favorite photos on display? This wall mixes family pictures, decorative lettering and signs in white, brown and turquoise-colored frames.
You don’t have to make every frame match. Try laying out your arrangement before hanging it, with a few larger pieces among the small ones.
teacup flower arrangements
How sweet are these little flower-filled teacups? Pink roses and tiny pale blooms sit above floral saucers, with greenery running between the arrangements.

Try a few cups down the center of your table rather than one large vase. Pale pink napkins would be a pretty way to follow the rest of this setting.
a decorative cage with candlelight
If you like an unusual centerpiece, this one is for you. A large dark cage holds a cluster of glowing candles, with greenery trailing around the curved bars.

Use flameless candles if you recreate this display, especially with foliage nearby. Keep yours out of the walkway so the open door doesn’t get in the way.
white bedding and one floral pillow
Don’t want to go overboard with patterns? No problem there!
This bedroom keeps most of the bedding white, with one small floral pillow in front.
I love the chipped white bed frame and the faded-looking rug underneath. A single rose-print cushion is a good place to start if you already have plain bedding.
sage seating and hanging plants
This is another lovely option if pink isn’t your thing. The sage-colored sofa matches the kitchen cabinets behind it, with leafy prints and striped cushions mixed together.
I especially love the green pieces and little planter on the coffee table. Try repeating one color through your cushions and smaller decorations before changing anything bigger.
rose wallpaper and a chipped blue chest
Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty pink-and-blue bedroom. I am in love with the rose wallpaper!
The floral pillows and ornate cream headboard look so lovely against it.
The chipped pale blue chest brings the wall color down to the foot of the bed. Keep a pink throw in the mix if you want to follow this combination.
