Some designers suggest that shabby chic has become on trend due to the recession; the idea of recycling old items and using them in new ways is cost-effective as well as creative. Not only this, people are looking for more unique ways to express themselves with regards to their living space, and want to make their home represent themselves.

Shabby chic furniture looks back to the past and revitalises homes with an aged look. This might sound odd, but this furniture is subtle and elegant, and looks as though it has withstood the test of time. Why not make your living space unique and on trend for 2014?
