A shabby chic bathroom is a soft, salvaged-looking room: a claw-foot tub, a painted washstand and a mirror that has clearly had a past life.

What a shabby chic bathroom looks like

A freestanding tub or a white tub surround sits beside a painted wooden washstand or a vintage dresser with a basin set into it, under a mirror in a gilded or distressed frame. Walls are soft white, pale pink or duck-egg blue with beadboard on the lower half, and the floor is worn tile or painted boards. Towels are stacked on an old ladder or in a wicker basket, a small chandelier or glass sconces give the light, and soaps and dried lavender sit in china dishes.

Try it on your own bathroom

Upload a photo of your bathroom, restyle it in Shabby Chic, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. The tub, shower and toilet stay where the plumbing puts them; the vanity finish, wall colour, mirror, lighting and textiles are what change.

Details worth getting right

  • Convert a vintage dresser into a vanity for a look that cannot be bought in a set
  • Beadboard and one soft paint colour do more for the atmosphere than any accessories
  • Store towels on an open ladder or in a basket so the room feels lived in
  • Glass and crystal lighting fixtures add sparkle to an otherwise soft palette
