Decorating Ideas for a French Bedroom

by Minnie Leave a reply »

A French bedroom can really be your dream room. This might be that rich and luxurious feeling that you’ve been dreaming of your entire lifetime. You can really create this look even if you don’t have a lot of money to spend. It’s just a matter of being creative and thinking outside the box to get a space that speaks to who you and at the same time really works with this kind of design style. You could even work an oak bathroom vanity into the design with a little bit of ingenuity.

You really are going to want to consider scale and budget when you set out to buy this furniture. Oftentimes French provincial furniture is sold in a set. This means that you’ll spend a lot of money. Plus, you really won’t have a lot of character just because all of your pieces will match. Also this kind of furniture is usually so large that it can really take over the entire room and just make things feel cluttered instead of elegant. Instead, you can just for one large piece. You can even mix things up by upholstering a very large headboard. You’ll want the lines to be curved and exaggerated to really get your point across. Then use an opulent velvet or silk like fabric to really get that luxurious feeling.

French bedroom accessories can really help you get a grander look to your furniture, which is a vital component of this kind of space. You really want to find ways to highlight the furniture that you do have in order to save money but still get a different look. You can do this by adding a bright canopy. This will be a little bit different than the typical white netting canopy that is more evocative of tropical, modern, or teenage design. Instead, you really want to bring in more opulent fabrics. You’ll want the canopy to go up the wall to the ceiling and at least over a significant portion of the bed. This is a way to create a headboard without buying furniture. It is also an opportunity to bring in color and pattern into your space.
