Nothing can be more romantic than French bedroom designs. From the furniture to the accessories, French style never fails to add romance and sophistication to an old bedroom. If you are tired of your old bedroom design and would want to give it a new look, redo your room French-style. Here are some ways to your bedroom's dramatic transformation through French design.
French bedrooms usually have one color theme for the room, the more common ones being light blue, green and gold. Pink, light peach and lilacs are also used. Nevertheless, you can choose any color that you want, provided that it matches well with distressed or whitewashed furniture. The plan is to have a monochromatic scheme for most parts of the room, and throw in another color or two with the accessories. Once you decided on the color themes, you might want to decide on how to treat the walls. Use a light-colored paint, or if you can secure lovely French wallpaper designs, you may also use the same.
The next thing that will give your room a distinct French look is the bed. A rococo style bed with a thick mattress, a nice bed cover and oversized pillows is what we are looking for. The bed frame is usually made of distressed wood, with nice carvings on the headboard or legs of the bed. You can also add a bolster cushion and more pillows. Bedding designs are usually floral or toile, while others use paisley. Do not be stingy on the sheets. French design also spells luxury, and what better way to show that but by the linen. Use them together with plain white sheets with lace or other pretty intricate details.
Another characteristic of French design is oversized furniture. Lines are usually dramatic and intricate. Wardrobe usually consists of a big armoire. For more storage, add chest drawers. There is also an antique dresser and side table. You can also add a cozy armchair and a sofa. Other antique pieces made of wrought iron may also be included.
The window is another part of the room which must be emphasized. Use sheered drapes and tiebacks for a dramatic effect. This also allows more natural light into the room, which is also distinctive of French design. Soft curtains that extend from the ceiling to the floor are pulled back to frame the window.
Add some hand-painted accessories to your bedroom. Find a beautiful screen with details similar to the furniture, and place it in a corner for accent. Display some porcelain art pieces or picture frames on top of the drawers.
As to the lighting, use French lamps such as Tiffany-styled lamps and some accent lights. A chandelier will also look good in a French bedroom. You can also add antique candle holders, for decorative purposes.
Add romance to your bedroom. Find a French bedroom design that will suit your taste. The good thing about this style is that you do not have to spend a lot to achieve the look. The best items can usually be found at flea markets. Look for some antique items that will give the shabby chic feel. You can also surf the internet for more designs. So what are you waiting for? Start the makeover now. Have fun!
