How to Create a Shabby Chic Bathroom With Pictures

Shabby chic is a little worn, a little feminine and a lot homey. Bring the look to your bathroom with some new accessories. Hanging pictures in your bathroom is a unique way to decorate, whether you're interested in candid shots, portraits or art. Shabby chic lets you feel like you've taken a step back into the past. It's all soft colors, delicate fabrics and old-fashioned accents that complement your bathroom and make it a place you want to be.

Instructions

- 1
  Choose a theme for your bathroom before purchasing frames and photos. Choose a personal bathroom or one that's simply vintage.
- 2
  Find vintage photographs. If you want to keep it personal, look for old family photos of people or places. To gives your bathroom a vintage feel, find classic photographs of old downtown areas, farms or other places. If you want to use more recent photos, try having them printed in black and white or sepia.
- 3
  Purchase shabby chic frames. Look for pale cream, rose or gray frames. Ornate designs with spaces and swirls work for a shabby chic look. Avoid metal frames, plain flat frames and wooden frames unless they're distressed. Sometimes you can find shabby chic frames in antique stores or in your old family belongings.
- 4
  Hang several small photos in shabby chic frames on one wall. The frames don't need to match. A cluster of frame types is perfect for a shabby chic bathroom.
- 5
  Frame your largest picture with another frame. Hang it on a different wall. It should be the main focal point of your bathroom -- what people see when they walk in.
