Parisian Design: Room Inspirations

Heading to Paris for our next stop while in France during our Global Design Series!

Many Parisian rooms feature lots of details, accessories and high glamour. 

I have selected a few rooms that have the style but that are a bit paired down.

I like to design my clients homes to "LIVE" in, not just to "look pretty".

I think these rooms are a perfect example of just that concept. 

Tell me your favorite room.

Here are a few items to help you get the French Country Style in your own home! 

This fabulous bed is from Layla Grayce.
The graceful curves and ivory color is perfect for a French Provencal bedroom. 

This chair is essential in any French Country home. 

I love the gray wood tones and blue silk fabric. www.frenchdressing.com

If you want to give your bedroom the ultimate French Country feeling,

try this bedding found at Neiman Marcus. Notice the toile with the ticking stripe.

SO FRENCH!

This side table will work great in bedrooms and formal living rooms too!

This vintage inspired screen can work in any room of a French Country home.
