The Reason Behind Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Popularity
The reason behind the popularity of Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic is because this innovative interior designer combines styles of old and new, along with traditional and modern to create a luxurious, but informal decor which feels simple yet elaborate at the same time.
Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic encourages you to visit flea markets and garage sales rather than shop expensive furniture stores. Finding vintage items which can be brought to life with a splash of paint is the goal. White is the color Rachel most often uses to revitalize her treasured finds. She believes white can inspire you to use your own creativity to bring
out the specialness of the piece.
Rather than spending time and money reupholstering a piece of furniture, Rachel prefers using casual, yet attractive slipcovers. Rachel likes to underscore the casual, yet elegant style by adding vintage collectibles and accessories to finish the look.
While Rachel started shabby chic as a personal home project, this attractive method of home decorating grew into an established business. Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic is a brand which encompasses a wide range of furnishings and textiles. As you travel across the nation you are sure to find numerous stores which feature shabby chic style.
Over time Rachel has become a celebrity and sought-after expert in the field of interior design.
Shabby chic style extends well past the restoration of wood and wrought iron chairs, tables and sofas. Charming fabrics styled with florals, lace, or gentle geometric patterns are part of the Rachel Ashwell shabby chic style. Lighting plays an important part of this decor in the way of candles and chandeliers crafted from older lighting fixtures and unusual items found around the home.
Ultimately, Rachel Ashwell shabby chic attempts to create a unique harmony by combining unconventional accessories and items. What you end up with is an atmosphere which invites you in and makes you welcome. Designers and homeowners alike continue to look to Rachel Ashwell shabby chic for inspiration, knowing the finished effect will impress and embrace all who enter.
