Decorating With French Home Accessories
One of the hottest interior design trends on the market is the French style shabby chic. This style utilizes elements from the French country house style with the elegant style to create a romantic look in your home. French home accessories can be anywhere from storage pieces, beds and sofas to mirrors. Transforming your home to a French palace without the budget of royalty is really quite simple.
Dressers, wardrobes and shelves can come in a range of styles and colors. White evokes the classic chic style, but they can come in gold trim as well for a more formal look. Chateau armoires and Valbonne wardrobes are well-liked choices for clothing storage pieces. The chateau dressers and chest of drawers are excellent for collectibles and ornaments.
The French style bed is one of the most luxurious pieces you can decorate with. The Moulin Rouge carved bed or an elegant French country rattan to an elegant Versailles with gold effect are lovely. Fit the piece in with the style you are choosing for the rest of the room and for the French period you are designing in.
Creating a waiting room with a French style sofa adds a touch of formality, the French Gite can create a rustic, relaxed feel to a room. Carving and fabric can change the look and feel of your room depending on the details you have on your sofa. It is important to have the right chairs, they go with your dressing tables, tables and desks. Some of the more popular styles are the Versailles style in white, gold and black with toile fabric for a real country feel or with other fabrics for a more elegant look.
Lighting is where you can have some fun with the chandeliers and lampshades that can put the finishing touches on your room. You can get chandeliers in colors ranging from black to clear to gold. Lamps and lampshades set the mood, giving a more romantic feel to a room and adding an incredible amount of atmosphere depending on the style of the lampshade, the fabric used and the amount of decoration on them.
Mirrors are last but not least. Adding a reproduction mirror to your room can take an otherwise dark and uninteresting space and light it up. It can make a small room appear large. Hanging them over fireplaces, dressing tables or in an armoire, they come in many colors and styles. French home accessories are fun to design with and there are many options to choose from.
