Country French for the bedroom

If you are considering French Country decoration for your bedroom, you are actually opting for one of the most timeless bedroom styles. French décor is all about warmth and comfort which is exactly what is required for a bedroom. But to ensure a finished look , here are few things you should consider.

The bed: The bed is obviously the most important item because it’s the focus of  the whole show. To get a typical French look, add a pine bed. Use bedding with patterns and colors that are warm and cheery. You can have floral duvet sets in shades of yellow and blue to achieve this. You can also use ginghams, plaids and stripes. Acquire matching bedside tables. For a more feminine touch add a net with white gingham over the headboard.

Window treatment: Windows let natural light into your haven of comfort. Moreover, country décor is inspired by the brightness of nature. Let your windows look lovely with soft sheers, tailored drapes and curtains that softly fold onto the floor for an elegant and luxurious look. Make sure that you include decorative tiebacks and valances in your French interior.

Wall color: Everything in French décor seems to be in harmony with each other. This is the reason the wall colors are kept in subdued shades of cream, off white and soft shades of blue or yellow. To add life, color and flair to your room, add light blue, light green or even golden color. The key here is to make it look faded as if it was antique.

Accessories: Adding some antique accessories will give your room an authentic touch. You can add wall art or painting with “chipped paint” for a true look. These types of accessories are in great demand, so you can either acquire them from antique markets or even have them purchased from local thrift or consignment stores. Finally, add some scented candles, fresh flowers and light your room with lamps in ornate settings.

Whether you use French brocade or lace, remember that you are surrounded by beauty and style in a French country bedroom. So make your room luxurious to touch and feel.
