Finding the right materials for a quality Shabby Chic decoration can prove to be difficult if you don’t know where to look. Compiled here is a list on some of the best locations where you can find antiques, worn equipment and specialized Shabby Chic items that you can put to good use when looking for shops in your local area.
Start off with a nearby second hand store. Although you may not normally visit these shops, they are full of high quality items that various people have no use for and have sold – many of these include ‘clutter’ that you can use effectively to decorate as Shabby Chic.
Garage sales and marketplaces are gold when you can find them. These places are full of merchants who have stockpiles of older materials and antiques that may exactly be what you need to complete your collection of Shabby Chic materials. If you are overseas, don’t forget to drop by some of the markets in the tourist hotspot and see if you can pick a bargain that you wouldn’t normally be able to find elsewhere.
There are also many online shops which offer to sell an assortment of Shabby Chic furnishings. They offer a wide selection of materials and equipment, and having the stock displayed on a website makes it easier for you to choose something you like. You don’t have to order online, simply send the vendor a contact e-mail and you can further arrange details there.
