Shabby Chic Made Easy

Want to get this stunning shabby chic look for your lounge room? It's easy with Warwick Fabrics - the "household name in innovation, quality and service"

Step 1: Spend several thousand dollars on a sofa

Step 2: Ask for the sofa to be covered in Warwick Fabrics, choose one that is rated "Heavy Domestic", this is important you don't want the sofa to look too shabby and you can imagine what it might look like if you chose a "Light Domestic" fabric.

Step 3: This is the easy part ...wait 3 years and magically the fabric will start to peel and crack. Within another year magically you will have a stunning shabby chic sofa just like this one!

Now I know what you are thinking - this fabric must be faulty. Not at all! The fabric shown in this photo has been determined by Warwick Fabrics to not be faulty. There is no trick here and this photo has not been 'shopped'.

Now don't be fooled when the salesperson tells you this fabric will last 8-10 years, it won't. I actually achieved this look twice before. The first time took less than nine months! The second time only 7 months. You might get lucky!

So be patient and be sure to abide by the usage and cleaning instructions for the fabric and soon you too can have this spectacular 'conversation piece' in your home.
