French Style Gives Rooms A ‘Magnifique’ Look
The french have a reputation as the purveyors of style as well as sophistication. Even nowadays when informal living reigns supreme, French interior designs provide elegance and also class to a home environment.
Those people whose concept of this design has been limited to rustic French Country might be astonished to know how fashionable a French interior can look. Whether it is the ornate, decorative designs of the Baroque and Rococo periods, or anything more streamlined such as the Neo-Classical style, there is a luxury to French interior design unmatched by another design.
French adore glamour, so the first place to start this specific style is with a few really glamorous walls. Light color palettes for this design include combinations of gray, mint, cream, or robin’s-eye blue, all with touches of shimmering gilt, gold or silver. For the much more dramatic palette, select rich jewel tones of emerald green, peacock blue, teal as well as red. Either pale or dark palettes must be accented with white, black and gold.
Ornate pattern is a must for an authentic French design. Swirling designs on wallpaper in the selected color palette makes a beautiful accent wall. Similar patterns can be reflected in floral area rugs or in coverings that reflect the color scheme, such as vivid peacock blue rugs.
Furniture also must reflect the decorative French style. Antique and traditional furniture typically is an excellent way to get the quality carved arms, legs and backs which demonstrate this specific style. However, those pieces should never be shabby or in disrepair; they need to be wonderfully elegant. Dark woods or even dainty pieces painted in black or white with touches of gilt are perfect for this pattern. For the bedroom, look for vanity tables with fabric skirts, armoires and chaise lounges. Within the dining room or the corner of the living room, beautiful bistro tables and chairs make perfect places for a tête-à-tête with family or friends.
Magnificent fabrics are one of the hallmarks of French interior design. Select luxurious materials like brocade, damask, velvet, toile, satin, silk and also lace. Use these fabrics in full draperies hung with swags or tails, tied back using golden, tasseled cords. In the bedroom, create a canopy above a bed by draping one of these fabrics attached to strong rings or even brackets. Upholstery, pillows, duvet covers and also cushions as well as throws also should be made of rich velvet or satins and silks in fine styles.
Lastly, components could be the elements which finish off a French interior design. Lighting should feature crystal chandeliers with lots of dangles, along with gilt wall scones or wall lamps, and also table lamps should be topped by silk lampshades decorate with fringe, beads or feathers. Black silk lampshades could be a striking contrast that highlights the attractiveness of the overall style.
