This interior style centres around furnishings made mainly from wood that might have come straight from a flea market. But rather than looking shabby, they have an attractive, used charm: signs of wear and tear such as chipped paintwork or faded lettering are full of appeal, and vintage-style accessories add a playful note. When it comes to decoration, objects printed with Italic lettering, floral elements, check patterns and ornamentation dominate. Fluffy throws, lacy cushions, candles, antique vases and flowerpots create an agreeably homely atmosphere. Real flowers such as roses and tulips underline the naturally romantic look and add a special touch. In terms of colour, white and delicate pastel and grey tones feature prominently.
