Creating a shabby chic bathroom means turning a very personal space into a casual and inviting place to pamper, refresh and renew yourself on a daily basis.

The, usually, small space of a bathroom lends itself well to the light, soft colors associated with shabby chic decor.

As a backdrop for creating your shabby chic retreat, paint the walls white or a very pale shade of a primary color.

The idea here is to have a simple background that you can then accent with soft floral and striped prints. Just think of the fun you can have when you apply this mix-and-match principle to selecting towels, curtains and rugs.

Other appropriate accessories for your shabby chic bathroom might include an antique mirror and an old medicine cabinet for storing toiletries. You can also make new items look care-worn either by applying faux paint finishes or by creating a distressed look with sanding.

Replace towel bars with rustic-looking hooks for hanging plush white towels.

The walls of your shabby chic bathroom can also be decorated with vintage art work with a country cottage theme. The goal is to create a romantically elegant space with a timeless feel.

The finishing touches to your shabby chic bathroom can include vases of your favorite flowers, candles and personal keepsakes and lovely mementos that make the space uniquely, yours.

Remember that a shabby chic bathroom is all about elegance mixed with down-home comfort.
