Paris, oh Paris… The synonym for romance, elegance, fashion and beauty. Known for being forever à la mode, Parisian style effortlessly incorporates modern and traditional elements for enchanting and relaxing aesthetics. If you’re yet another hopeless romantic and want to bring a French feel to your home, you can capture the bliss of this beautiful country by following the guidance we’ve provided bellow. Once you’ve achieved the French design and décor you’ve always desired, you can start pretending you live in the glorious city of lights.
Savoring the good life should definitely start in one’s home, so make sure it represents who you really are. Chances are, even if your guests don’t share your taste in Parisian style, they will admire you for having the courage to go with something different about your living space. After all, merely having a shelter was never enough for us humans, since we’ve always strived towards authenticity, even the caves of prehistoric people were filled with all sorts of unique drawings and decor.
Since your home is your château, in order to make it appear more authentic, look for modern French provincial furniture inspired by the classic Parisian home decor. Another thing you can do as to bring the magic of Paris into your home is mix chic and floral decor with pieces that have neutral, soft and glamorous colors.
Vibrant colors are another important and recognizable aspect of French design, but they should be incorporated in the form of tree toparies, flowers or interesting works of art. But of course, don’t forget that you can always steal someone else’s ideas and we promise we won’t tell anyone (chuckles). Look for interior design magazines that promote France’s comfortable décor or simply watch a couple of French movies and you’ll get the Parisian feel for home interior in no time.
The balance modern French provincial furniture makes between simple and rustic is simply perfect. The texture of the baskets, the antique kitchen chairs and the flower vases are what can give your home a Parisian look that even some Parisians will envy you for. Finally, once you’re done decorating, don’t forget to put on some Eith Piaf songs as there’s hardly anyone who can put people in the Paris mood than this French cabaret singer.
And remember – “Paris ne s’est pas fait en un jour!” (“Paris was not made in a day!”), so be patient with yourself if you don’t get it all right the first time around.
