Make it French-Inspired!
There's no denying, with so much history, the French style of decorating is here to stay. Whether it's French Country or classic French, a lot of designers & decorators have fallen in love with this style. It has also evolved with the modern times.
Here are some tips to make your home French-inspired:
1. Arrange your furniture imaginatively. They don't have to be alike or part of a whole set & they don't have to be placed straight either! Have fun with it!
2. Have at least one grand antique (or antique reproduction) piece. maybe a fabulous settee, a Louis chair, or a fringed & tufted ottoman. Think of furniture and accent pieces with a lot of curves and intricate details.
3. Fabric!Fabric!Fabric! Lots of it. fill the room with luscious drapes or upholstered furnishings.
4. Grand Lighting. Make it dramatic, nothing evokes the French feel more than a sophisticated chandelier.
5. Groupings. Have a photo collage in Rococo frames, candleholders of varying heights or architectural prints.
6. Color it pure. Crisp & clean white decor is a staple of french decorating.
7. Pattern! Pattern! Pattern! Yes, do not be afraid of pattern. Whether it's toile, chintz or chinoisserie, an abundance of pattern & print also abound in French decorating.
8. Unique Treasures. Accessorize with items with a lot of history. From flea market finds, items from one-of-a-kind shops or those must-haves from your travels.
I hope these tips will help you achieve a little bit of France whereever you are.

About the Author
Hmmm... where do I start? I seriously long to be an interior designer and entertain my creative side. My dream job is to travel the world a la Samantha Brown & check out the world of design & decor all over (yup, why not? How come Andrew Z can sample all the different kinds of food all over?). I love both the charm of a french cottage & the fresh feel of an urban loft. I currently run an online decor shop, The Inglenook Decor. I have an amazing daughter & engaged to my bestfriend, they are my inspiration & my bliss!
