Bedroom Design French Style

Bedroom design French style combines a romantic and country feeling together to great one great style. This style features painted furniture and wrought iron scrollwork for a comfortable and easy to live with look.

Your French bedroom design should use light colors - creams and yellows or maybe a pale blue. Paint the walls and accent them with a mural of a French café or hang French tapestries or artwork. Accent the bedroom windows with long sheers for a light look.

An oriental rug with light colors to match the palette of your bedroom design can add interest to the floor, or you can use several scatter rugs that reflect the colors in your bedding and accents. Keep the pattern soft and stay away from anything too contemporary or geometric.

Lighting for your French bedroom can be a bit on the romantic side with wrought iron lamps, crystal chandeliers and side lights with a chippy paint base. Keep the shades simple - plain with a little dangle of crystal fringe or if you can get a lamp with beaded crystal shade even better. If you are going for a more whimsical design, try the shades with fluffy feather fringe at the top and bottom.

Your French bedroom furniture should be painted and a bit distressed - the bed can be wrought iron if you like the look and you can even add some wrought iron stands around the room to match. To add romance, buy furniture that has a floral or scenic design painted on it and you'll have a work of art right in your bedroom furniture! If you are on a tight budget, buy furniture at the consignment store and paint it yourself. Distress it edges by sanding off a bit at the edges and corners. You can even stencil on some floral designs or paint them freehand if you are artistic.

French style bedding is luxurious and can come in many styles. You can go with solid colors or patterns like a floral, or a nice toile. A silky comforter will add some elegance to the room, or a quilted pattern is nice if you are going for more of a French country design. Either way, be sure to plump up the bed by adding lots of pillows - the ones in the back can have some eyelet lace edging to add some old fashioned charm.
