Trendy denim, leather jackets, and home furnishing have something in common: they look best when they’re a bit lived in, a bit distressed. Leather furniture in particular looks amazing once it’s no longer brand new and it develops a thin layer called patina. That rustic look is cozy, and you can purchase this look without having to wait for your furniture to age over time. Many furniture designers offer pre-distressed furniture to give your home shabby chic flair.
Distressed furniture can fit within a myriad of styles. You can go western with leathers and cedar, with woven blankets for color. Choose charming vintage style furniture in light colors for a romantic look for your home. If farmhouse or Nordic is more your style, look for simple pieces that have customized finishes. Distressed furniture is a style you can easily incorporate into your home, no matter your personal style.
At Fine Furniture San Diego, we carry unique furniture pieces for every taste at affordable prices you will love. Here are some things to consider when going for the shabby chic look.
