Feminine and Flirty Parisian Style Bedrooms
French bedrooms are best known for being overtly feminine. They expertly balance sensuality with sophistication to create an equilibrium of elegance in the most important room of the home.
This is an obvious approach to take when designing a Parisian style bedroom — especially if you want others to notice it. Blush pinks, rich golds and antique brass paired with ornate furniture is a tried-and-trusted interior recipe, creating what we know to be Parisian chic.
These bedrooms can be quirky, pulling off characterful paint jobs and distressed furniture. But what they might lack in a polished veneer, they make up for in their fluidity, their nod to palatial living and their irresistible charm.

Subtle and Sophisticated Parisian Style Bedrooms
A more refined and pared-back outlook is a subtle and sophisticated sleep chamber. These bedrooms showcase the French version of minimalism, focusing on Egyptian cotton sheets — often left unmade — and the enhancement of a property’s best assets, including its magnificent, awe-inspiring windows.
For the individuals living in these bedrooms, it’s all about the French experience. Waking up to a breathtaking view in the morning as you prepare to indulge in a continental breakfast and coffee.

Although the shell of this bedroom is undeniably Parisian, its furniture doesn’t have to be. This style can afford a more modern bed, boasting a Metropolitan style frame. Its subtlety means less tolerance for clutter, requiring some form of storage such as a solid wooden bedroom chest. And its pièce de résistance is a splash of colour whether it comes from throw cushions or antique art.

Dark and Dramatic Parisian Style Bedrooms
A more obscure outlook on Parisian style bedrooms is a dark and dramatic effect. This option is chicer and more masculine, pleasing you and your sleep partner. It’s couture being slumber’s answer to fashion week and becoming the perfect backdrop for your Chanel Classic Flap to take refuge in.
However you choose to add drama to a room — it could be a dramatic four-poster drape, a bold paint colour or an out-of-the-box accessory — it must be carefully considered, limiting the amount of glitz and glamour in one, small space.

Drama often comes from a four-poster bed, making the bed the rightful centre of attention. However, in this style of Parisian bedroom, not every four poster will fit. The designer will need to be cautious of dating the design and opting for a too traditional look. Instead, a modern four poster concept sits snug paired with equally innovative bedside cabinets. The way you dress this room can’t be too cute and every accessory must also add an element of functionality.
For this reason, mirrors, either tabletop or freestanding are a safe bet for this bedroom.
