Introducing Shabby Chic® by Rachel Ashwell®
Rachel Ashwell founded the Shabby Chic® lifestyle brand in 1989, championing the beauty of imperfection. There’s a fresh and breezy feel to Rachel’s heritage creations, traceable to her Californian coastal lifestyle and English roots. For over 35 years, Rachel has been honing her eye for all things vintage, creating accessible Shabby Chic® designs that perfectly encapsulate comforting and romantic whispers of the past.
Rachel's genuine love for flea market discoveries, where scraps of faded fabric spark design ideas, brings authenticity to the Shabby Chic® collection. From the motifs to the choice of colour palettes, Rachel's creations display her depth of understanding of the coveted vintage style. Her signature nostalgic aesthetic boasts versatile off-whites, pastels, smoky and faded rich hues, with timeless heritage prints and stripes. Shabby Chic® specialises in bedding, soft furnishing, drapery, slipcovered furniture, and accessories - and now the wallpapers and murals are available from Wallpaper It.

Enchanting Wallpapers
The Shabby Chic® wallpaper collection perfectly illustrates how versatile vintage prints can be. There's no question that a quirky floral wallpaper sits seamlessly within the farmhouse or cottage-core aesthetic, but Rachel has used her design magic to create accessible wallpapers for all. There is no room in your house that can't be transformed by the exquisiteness of Shabby Chic's iconic prints.

Nothing speaks of romance quite like the peach-soft petals of a rose. Shabby Chic's Romantic Rose, Royal Bouquet, and Wildflower wallpapers showcase this bloom in dreamy, heirloom prints. This style is just right as a statement wall in a bedroom to serve as a floral focal point. Feeling daring?

The Boudoir Beauty collection infuses a bedroom with the duskiest pastel tones. Featuring Edwardian-era paisley scrolls, this refined wallpaper brings an air of opulence to your bedroom.
Sumptuous living and dining spaces
Shabby Chic's wallpaper range has heirloom designs that marry perfectly with contemporary interior styling. You can curate decadently sumptuous living and dining spaces with the Bird Chinoiserie, Chelsea, and Garden collections. Feel inspired to serve lavish afternoon teas as the sound of birdsong drifts through the open window with Rachel's evocative pastel botanical prints. Use this wallpaper to complement sumptuous white sofas or Scandi-inspired dining sets as you introduce style depth and an airy colour palette to suit contemporary tastes.
Even a minimalist backdrop can welcome a touch of Shabby Chic® magic. Line alcoves, choose a statement wall, or bring a touch of wit to the smallest rooms of your minimalist home with sprays of wildflowers or the bold elegance of Rachel's Watercolour Stripe selection. With the powderiest pinks, blues, greys and sage green backgrounds, these wallpapers make the perfect pairing for your existing modern colourways.
Murals: Style Storytelling for the Home
Murals are an of-the-moment trend that offers an unparalleled design story within your home. Popularly hung to create a feature wall in a bedroom or living room, murals are a clever interior design tool for setting your style tone. If murals are all about storytelling, Shabby Chic’s murals tell a fairy tale. From swathes of fragrant foliage to French panel-inspired motifs, a mural by Shabby Chic® is pure escapism.
The Hanging Garden Mural in off-white, duck-egg, or pink makes the perfect backdrop for a four-poster in the bedroom or a statement sofa or dresser in your sitting room. The mural has a dreamlike quality that makes it feel as if you could walk into the scene. Bring that sense of depth and movement to the tranquil rooms of your home, echoing the botanical theme with plants and floral-print soft furnishings or drapery.
Paired with floaty fabrics and marble and gold accents, Rachel's hopelessly romantic Panel Francaise mural collection will transport you to Versailles. This mural design works well on virtually any wall, creating an ornate French-panelled look in soft blue, pink, and sage tones. Add a regal, feminine touch to your bedroom or character to a living or dining space. The panel design helps to accentuate the height and depth of your walls - useful for both spacious rooms and bijou spaces.
The quality of designs in Rachel Ashwell's premium wallpaper and mural range opens up a world of creative opportunities. Heritage though the prints may be, there is nothing dated about the Shabby Chic® range. Make a statement in your hallway, conjure cosy moments or airy ethereality in your living and dining spaces, and give your bedroom the pretty privilege it deserves.
