Give Your Bedroom A French Style By Accessorizing

Bedroom accessory décor can get you a great french style that will enhance any room.

Just like a great outfit is enhanced by jewelry for women and ties for men. The same goes for your bedroom! You can add beauty and style to your bedroom by adding a few accessories.

To decide on exactly what you want from your french look browse through some of the latest decorating magazines to get some examples of how to decorate your bedroom. To keep the french look consistent, you’ll have to limit yourself to only purchase the accessories that match your theme.

Colors for a french décor is soft and sublte. Pale blue or yellow fits the bill quite nicely. Accent it with lots of white and even think about painting your furniture white with a bit of an antiqued look on the edges and some gold trim.

Give your bedroom a touch of old world France with romantic and feminine accents that will help bring out the french in your bedroom. When grouped together accessories look better if there is an odd number of items. To add interest use accents of different heights and textures. An interesting group of accents might consists of picture frames a lamp and a short vase with flowers.

Wall art and paintings can be hung on the bedroom walls to compliment your french decor but they wont look right unless you hang them correctly. Most people hang wall décor too high and the rule of thumb is the picture should be hung so that the middle of the picture is at eye level. You can use a large painting or a tall mirror behind the bed as a headboard. Use a mirror that is very tall for a dramatic effect! Hang your french themed pictures seven to ten inches above a table. Try to align pictures in different geometric shapes (vertical circular triangular or rectangular groupings) in various sizes for a different effect.

Accessorizing your bedroom with lamps can add interest as well as provide light. Lighting creates a mood and can be a wonderful enhancement to the french theme you want to create. French style lighting can be rather ornate with glass beaded prisms and balls dripping from sconces and chandeliers. If you don’t like the prisms try scouring the antique stores for figural lamps of women in gowns that have an old world France look.

Area rugs can also enhance your décor. Make sure that you rest furniture on the rug to achieve a better effect. Of course you will want to buy rugs in colors that go with your french accessories.

Use many pillows on the bed as this can add a splash of color in a bedroom. Vary the colors and patterns of the pillows but always keep within the colors of your theme.

Try out new things while decorating the bedroom. Relax and enjoy shopping for different items for the french theme in your bedroom. You can find bargains at consignment stores flea markets and yard sales. There are many craft books available that you can also explore. Use your creativity to find the right accessories to make your bedroom the place you have always dreamed of!
