How To Create a Parisian Paradise With French Bedroom Furniture And Accessories
Your bedroom is a place that you can really let your decorating imagination run wild, and create a room that is just for you. If you love Paris, you can use French bedroom furniture and accessories to bring the energy and romance of the Parisian experience into your life each and every night. It’s easier than you think!
There are several Parisian themes you can use for the overall look of your bedroom. You can go for the modern, urban style of a Paris salon, cafe or apartment, or call to mind the history of the area with a French country feel. If you want a feeling of romance and comfort, then French country is right for you. For real glam, go bold and choose opulent Moulin Rouge-style colors and furniture. For sleek and modern but still cozy, then the Paris cafe or apartment style is up your alley.
Before you start looking for French bedroom furniture, set the theme with your paint color. Simple colors like cream, beige or cornflower blue will evoke a homier, country look. For a contemporary look, chocolate browns and off-whites will do the trick. For a really bold look, go for dark colors like burgundy. You can also bring in the Parisian style with wallcoverings that have fleur-de-lis or other French motifs.
Next, look for French bedroom furniture that fits your overall theme. if you are going for a cafe look, a scrolled wrought-iron bedframe that has a slightly distressed finish will bring to mind the furniture found in an outdoor cafe. For a romantic look, go for large ornate pieces, such as a sleigh bed or beds with a large headboard, and add large armoires and other pieces. For a more bohemian salon look, mismatched pieces that look rustic mixed with a few lush items, like satin fabrics, will look beautiful and interesting. French bedroom furniture can be dark wood, or have an antique finish or a whitewash. If you find an item you love, you can always paint or antique it yourself.
Finally, you want to bring in the flavor of Paris with accessories. This can be as simple as adding some posters of Paris, or prints by French artists such as Toulouse-Latrec. An easy and affordable way to do this is to collect French art postcards and group them on the wall in matching frames. Look for French style pottery, like jugs or bowls, and small items like storage tins or signs. Fresh flowers, like lavender, will cultivate a truly French feel to the room.
French bedroom furniture and accessories will help you create a bedroom that reflects the many styles of Paris. Let your imagination run free, and you’ll feel like you’re spending every night in the city of love!
