Classic, effortless and chic are just a few ways to describe the style of a Parisian and the way they decorate their homes is no different. If you are following us, you may have seen that we’ve shared ideas on decorating living rooms and bathrooms like a Parisianne, and today’s roundup is dedicated to the most sacred place in each home – the bedroom.
Rock Lights
Parisian homes are all about embracing light shades: keep walls and curtains serene white and add small touches of muted colors, though it’s no necessary – you can keep it all neutral. You may go for a dark herringbone clad wooden floor that will contrast the walls and look cooler.

Mix Styles
Mixing modern and traditional styles in an understated way is something Parisians are fantastic at. Although we may not all have high ceilings, period fireplaces and wooden herringbone flooring like a lot of the French – mixing your classics with more urban pieces like colorful plastic chairs, fun rugs, distressed wood, unusual lamps or art prints is an easy way to create the eclectic look and inject a bit of playfulness.

Add Antiques
The French are known for their flea markets. It’s no wonder then, that Parisians have mastered a rustic look full of character whilst still achieving elegance. Try buying one statement antique like a bureau, chandelier or even iron bed frame as a centerpiece to the room. Compliment with soft, feminine furnishings like ruched bedding and silk curtains.

Accessorize
Parisians know how to embellish and will almost always have a vase full of flowers, scattered literature or a gorgeous rug somewhere in their home. Perfect for that laid nonchalant look we all envy. Have an exposed clothing rail or a stacked pile of books on the floor. Even by adding seating and faux fur to your bedroom, you can blur the line between rooms for that apartment vibe.
