Fashionable trendy styles in 2013

Fashion trends in design in 2013 include several beautiful styles that use old vintage items as main accessories. 
Shabby Chic is a comfortable, cozy decorative style with a look that uses vintage accessories, pastel colors, aged and distressed furniture. The essence of the style is gracefully aged things. Furniture and utensils are decorated in order to give an impression of old furniture, things that were artificially aged. Colors are predominantly white, pale pink, ivory, pale blue, light floral motifs. It can easily add a feminine touch to any interior and make it unique. It is a lovely style with old laced tablecloths, dreamy soft floral fabrics, light painted furniture, and colorful fresh flowers for a long time. Style takes inspiration from antique objects.

Vintage style (from the French vintage - of aged wine) - direction, based on a combination of modern and old, sometimes even antique in the interior.  Vintage style had great influence on Shabby chic style that was born in Great Britain and evokes the type of decoration found in large country houses where there are worn and faded old chintz sofas and curtains, old paintwork and unassuming 'good' taste. This design style is supposed to look timeless and comfortable. If you want to escape the busy world outside and retreat into soft tones, comfortable fabrics, and a vintage vibe at your home - this is your style! 

The shabby chic aesthetics also expands on the garden, with the same design principles of using timeworn garden furniture and feminine accessories.

Rose gardens are popular in shabby chic style of decor.          Decor items in 

Shabby Chic style: antique clocks, bronze, faded paintings in old frames, old television sets, gramophones, vases, chandeliers, antique telephones, a variety of small items of past eras, though rusty iron on the coals. Flowers enliven the interior, but again in aged pots or even boxes. In any case, remember - the style of Shabby chic prefers to demonstrate the quality and good taste in everything.

The kind of Shabby chic style is the so-called Cottage Chic (coziness, charm, and comfort).
