Homes must walk a fragile line between clutter and barren space. Finding equilibrium can mean all the difference between comfort and an overly busy home. Managing open space takes a perceptive eye when browsing furniture catalogues. To help with the procurement process we’ve put together a list of shabby chic pieces that’ll make the best use of open spaces without sacrificing comfort.

Bergere Antique French Style Cabinet

This hand-carved piece brings home owners a blast from the past.

Furnish your outdoor area with the right shabby chic furniture and you’ll never want to go back inside. The La Rochelle antique emits an antebellum feel while boasting its hand carved mahogany.

The chair’s aesthetic makes it perfect as a stand along piece or accompanied by another of its own style.
