Romantic style is very close to what is called shabby chic: a soft, beautiful and feminine approach to decoration.

Luyina Moodie is an interior stylist who knows exactly how to bring a breath of romance to interiors. View her stunning work below!

There are plenty of tips and advice around if you want to give an elegant, romantic touch to your space. Here are some basics that can get you started:

  • Focus in using vintage and antique furniture. An old, dull piece of furniture can be transformed to something entirely different by painting it white and then rubbing and sanding away the top paint coat in order to get that purposely distressed off white tone. More colors other than white can also be used but you need to choose a pastel tone.
  • Fabrics can literally transform a space if used and combined wisely. Floral motifs are a must if you’re going for the shabby style decoration. Fabric covered boxes of various sized can also be used as accents that add romance to your space. Lace & ribbons can be also used creatively.
  • Keep your eyes open for beautiful vintage and floral wallpapers that can definitely give a quick romantic lift to your home.
  • Other popular decoration items such as vintage chandeliers, pillows, porcelain and glass collections on display can be incorporated as well to accentuate this style.
No matter the style you’re after, the key is personal expression. Don’t be afraid to experiment and be sure that you will subsequently accomplish just the right atmosphere.
