Sophisticated, yet whimsical and romantic, a French interior is a fantastic style to incorporate into a bedroom. Better still, it is a fairly easy genre to achieve, by simply adding the right furnishings against the backdrop of a perfect palette.  

Oozing in style and effortlessly chic, the French have the bedroom style nailed. And we just can’t get enough! Choose a classic French wardrobe or plump up your bed with gorgeous cushions, there are many ideas to bring a spark of French flair into your bedroom.

Whether your preference leans towards a regal, opulent design or a soft, inviting country theme, recreate stepping into a provincial French hotel by introducing these key items and ideas into your boudoir.

  • Choose a soft palette

A French-style interior is renowned for its neutral, soft hues and rustic undertones. Select warm, creamy whites and soft pastel colours for your walls. These create the perfect canvas to bring a French interior to life. Soft lilacs, delicate greys and off whites are a great place to start.

  • Introduce a French inspired bed

The centrepiece of the bedroom, the French bed is a work of art. Choose a luxurious upholstered bed, such as our Chelsea Chesterfield bed, to retain a tranquil theme, or a majestic sleigh bed to give your bedroom an opulent, historic feel. If a new bed is not on the top of your shopping list, then a grand headboard is excellent at transforming a lacklustre bed into a remarkable one. 

  • Select a charming wardrobe

A French wardrobe is a fabulous addition to a bedroom. We love them for their versatility and the elegance they exude. Whether you want a distressed, rustic style or a vintage, opulent look, our extensive collection of wardrobes will have a design to complement. This charming Gentlemens Wardrobe has a timeless, elegant appeal. Alternatively, if it’s an authentic French wardrobe you are looking for, the Antoinette wardrobe is beautifully crafted and comes in a two or three-door option.

If you want to introduce a truly classic French wardrobe, then a double armoire is a stunning addition to a bedroom. Beautifully crafted with ornate detail, these are popular pieces of French furniture. Typically made with shelves and rails, they are fantastic for storing ad hoc items. We love this silver carved double armoire, which comes with double, full-mirrored doors.

·      Hang a luxurious chandelier

The hallmark of a French bedroom, a luxury chandelier is an impressive centrepiece to accentuate a room. Go bold and luxurious with our Isla style or, for a softer, subtler effect, our Parisian 3Lt chandelier is a beautiful addition.

·      Add the little extras

Adding accessories and furnishings can bring a French bedroom together perfectly. A vase of flowers, ornate mirrors, oversized cushions and framed artworks are beautiful additions to a French-style bedroom. This Frank Hudson bedside table has fantastic ornate curved legs to add unique style to a room.
