@provencepoiriersAntique paintings hang on the walls, ivory sofas surround the teal tufted ottoman which serves as a French coffee table, and the space is centered around a vintage, oriental rug. The space is illuminated by a crystal chandelier. This room is definitely upper class and would be best for older residents without children.
Crystal Chandelier
Here we have a somewhat Americanized French living room with some key decorative elements placed in the American countryside. The central crystal chandelier is a great focal point. In the background, two gold mirrors lean against the wall. The sofa itself is white and minimal in design. The antique-style wooden coffee table holds little votives and a rustic bucket of pink roses! It’s a nicely done space, even if it is a bit overly ‘French’ looking.

Ever since French actress Brigitte Bardot wore her famous gingham skirts and dresses in the 50s, gingham fabrics have been incredibly stylish according to the French.

@simplyfrenchmarketPatterned Wallpaper
Patterned wallpaper will instantly make your space feel more upscale and more French. It should be in contrast to the color of your sofa, or subtly bring it out, as seen in this living room with sage green French furniture.

Scandinavian design is the French favorite of the year. Lagome, hygge and sisu captivated Parisians with their practicality and honest simplicity. At the same time, the Parisian style does not go out of fashion among Norwegians and Swedes. And not only them. For everyone who loves art, beautiful detail, complex coloring - i.e. the decor itself.

French decorators, aesthetes by birth and mixologists by training, organically mix things from different styles, times and cultures. Their choice is eclectic. A genre in which you can endlessly search for original rhymes, train knowledge of history and a sense of balance.
Designer Didier Gomez's apartment and garden in the heart of Paris.
“Everyone combines, everyone experiments. Either classic furniture goes with art of the 20th century, or chandeliers of the 70s go with Art Nouveau objects,” says Pierre Frey, Maison Pierre Frey. - The main thing that everyone agrees on is the high quality of the things themselves. This is the most important condition of the mix.”

The French are squeamish about pretentious luxury and do not like the nouveau riche. They prefer the original to an expensive imitation. Without fake patina and excessive shine.
“The French are very controversial. They want everything new, then they themselves reject this new. Our self-critical approach is the engine of progress, it generates ideas, we are always both for and against.” Vincent Darre, decorator

So, if you're thinking about creating a "French style" interior, it's good to remember the five Parisian "codes":
Ottoman style

Paris owes its modern appearance to Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann. In the 19th century, on the orders of Napoleon III, this urban planner (“bulldozer man,” as his contemporaries called him) buried the artistic Middle Ages in 20 years and created a new city: with highways, boulevards and clear street lines.
Charles Zana. Project with objects by Ettore Sottsass.
Parisians, who were lucky enough to become owners of Haussmann apartments, got five-, seven-story bourgeois houses, decorated with cornices, attics, enfilades and floor-to-ceiling windows. An indispensable attribute of such apartments is stucco molding, high ceilings, hinged doors, parquet and marble fireplaces with large fireplace mirrors. The disadvantage is a modest kitchen, separated from the front half by a corridor and the lack of central heating.

"Bobo" (short for bourgeois-bohème - "bourgeois bohemia") - a lifestyle that prevailed among the wealthy French of the 70s: they preferred to talk about the liberal culture of the hippies, be friends with hippies, love hippies, but stay in comfortable bourgeois apartments .
Artistic bobo style has permeated interiors with meli-melo, a casual mix of wicker chairs, climbing plants, low furniture, cheap accessories, antiques from flea markets and works by unknown artists. Today, such bohemian decor is in demand along with 70s fashion, craft, botany and floral print.

Design, according to the French, can enhance any space, no matter the address. The designer will equip an apartment eight meters away, master barges, lofts, workshops, basements and attic rooms: French ingenuity can overcome any obstacles. In order to increase the height of the premises, zealous Parisians expose "putras" - ceiling beams, adding a difficult but very effective element of decor to the interior. High prices for apartments have long forced them to live in the miniliving trend: a Parisian architect is always a virtuoso of redevelopment, every centimeter is verified in him, furniture is built in, storage is optimized, and it seems twice as many meters.
A small apartment can become a design masterpiece. Young authors from Batiik Studio placed everything you need on an area of 11 square meters. meters.
Toads, bedrooms and snags
Joseph Diran. Parisian apartment. By the fireplace is a sculpture by François-Xavier Lalanne.
When it comes to French design, everyone remembers its playful, ironic nature. One example is furniture with details in the form of animals: toads, monkeys, lions, hippos, herons, etc. In the 40s, Diego Giacometti, and later the sculptor duo Lalanne, continued the fantasy art nouveau themes by offering bronze bestiaries to wealthy collectors. . Another “horse” of French interiors is snags trompe-l'œil both picturesque and architectural. One of the tricks is a fake door. Unlike Americans, Europeans believe that rooms and doors illusory increase meters, which in the old capitals are never many.
And, of course, a French house can always be distinguished from a Russian one by how exquisitely decorated the entrance hall and ... the bedroom. The bedroom should be comfortable and as beautiful as the front living room.
Sensual palettes
Jean-Louis Degno. Apartment in Paris.
The French don't have the aversion to rich, bold colors that the Hong Kongers do. On the contrary, a complex color is the difference between the French interior. It has been worked out for centuries, it is for the eye, which is accustomed to "tasty" painting: the canvases of the Fauvists, Impressionists and Abstractionists. Textbooks have been written about the romantic French palette, where there is always a place for halftones and “cooler fingers”. However, the most "French" colors in the interior are white and gray: cream, ivory, antique, etc. Such shades are a win-win background for works of art, and it is the main wealth of even the most modest French house.
photos of apartments in modern French style
French style is distinguished by its versatility, it is ideal for rooms with high ceilings. And yet, this style looks more advantageous in large rooms. Quite often, the French style is used to develop the design of residential apartments of old buildings, thanks to special columns, bay windows, this direction acquires a special charm.
Compared to the American style, in which an open floor plan is a strict requirement, in French it is customary to reduce the number of walk-through and combined rooms as much as possible.
The interior of the premises in French style is hard to imagine without huge panoramic windows, which have become a real hallmark of this trend. Windows act as a separate structure or a door connecting a balcony, a hall or a winter garden. In addition, certain architectural decorative elements are inherent in this style: moldings, bas-reliefs, stucco, borrowed from the Baroque style.
If we analyze the features of the modern French style, in the interior it has a rather restrained look, with elements of old chic. The key idea of this direction is respect for family values and traditions. And this is very natural, since the French traditionally pass on antiques, old paintings in a chic gold frame, worn-out furniture made of expensive mahogany from one generation to another. The result is an original interior - a mixture of sophisticated antiquity and modernity.
The French interior is characterized by a skillful combination of modern furniture with rare items, which creates a special flavor. To create a unique atmosphere, one cannot do without unique things that have a special history. And even if you don't have Louis XV style furniture, you can follow the example of the French - go to a flea market! This is the place where unique interior items are sold.
Interior design with French style elements is a huge number of lighting elements. It is they who create a special atmosphere in the room: the final situation depends on the diversity and uniqueness of the lamps.
The French assign an important role in the interior to central lighting, as a rule, a large chandelier is used for such purposes.
Materials and colors of the French style
Traditionally, the French have an extremely negative attitude towards the deliberate demonstration of chic, to manifestations of vanity. Such traits are perceived by them as bad form.
French style colors
French interiors are dominated by white. White can form the basis both in the decoration of the room, and in decor, in furniture. In the design, you can use pure white, as well as white tones: snowy, ivory, antique white and others. Compared to Provence, for which a parallel combination of several colors in the interior is allowed, in the French style as a basis, one calm tone is often used, which is complemented by shades.
The color palette of such a deliberately sophisticated style has never included contrasting combinations.
What is the difference between French interiors?
The French have a special attitude towards interior decoration.
They are convinced that it is best to preserve and refine the old design than to remake everything in a new way, turning the heritage of the previous generation into a remake.
Since the walls in the French style are the background for interior items, they are usually made light, matte, plain. They can be supplemented with moldings, which create a visible outline for rare works of art. In the most daring designs, wallpaper with a delicate pattern can be used as wall decoration, which, for example, imitates chintz.
French-style interior decoration is characterized by the use of parquet. The best option if you managed to keep the old floors in the room. In this case, they can be slightly updated. Thanks to parquet, an amazing atmosphere is created in the house, so familiar to the French style. But if your budget does not allow laying parquet, you can choose a light-colored laminate as an alternative. The use of linoleum is definitely not recommended, since it will significantly reduce the cost, simplify the interior, and create a feeling of a failed finish.
For ceiling decoration in this style, the use of decor in the form of wooden beams is not typical. This feature is inherent in Provence, not urban styles. Often, ordinary whitewashing, ceiling painting is used in the interior of French apartments, thanks to such techniques a uniform smooth coating is created. At the request of the owners, such a ceiling can be decorated with sophisticated stucco.
Nuances of interior design in the French direction
The French created such a style as Provence for country houses. The French style exists specifically for the design of housing for citizens.
French living room interior decorations
The French living room always looks very spacious, light and airy. This effect can be achieved thanks to the finish in light shades. The French do not like to waste their time on a meticulous selection of furnishings. And therefore it is permissible if items from different eras and collections are located in the interior of the living room.
An antique coffee table can be combined with an elegant sofa on luxuriously neat legs, as well as with a traditional bergere chair, while modern plasma will look harmoniously with a superb rare fireplace. Thanks to the ability to combine different objects, you can create an atmospheric, organic, original interior.
A sense of proportion is the key rule that must be followed when decorating a living room according to the French style. Despite the fact that home decoration can have a diverse look, it is necessary to limit the total number of items that are present in the interior.
French-style bedroom decoration
The French bedroom is the realm of soft shapes and graceful lines. Visually attractive, streamlined furniture is suitable, for example, a wide bed with a wooden or fabric upholstered headboard, a comfortable armchair on original elegant legs, a lovely pouffe, a dressing table in addition to an antique mirror in a chic frame.
It is not recommended to place too bulky items so as not to visually cut down on the area of the bedroom.
Please note! This direction is perfect for arranging urban housing, the layout of which does not imply the presence of a separate room for a dressing room.
Feel free to experiment with accessories, the most important thing is to do it right. Correctly selected decorative elements can enhance the atmosphere that was created in the bedroom a couple of times. Carefully drape the windows, decorate the bed with a canopy, small pillows, place small original gizmos in the room, and you will get a real bohemian atmosphere in your bedroom.
French-style kitchen design
The interior of the French kitchen is filled with sophistication and comfort. A prerequisite - for this style you need to select a kitchen set made of natural expensive wood. If you plan to buy furniture with unpainted facades, you should choose the lightest species, for example, maple or ash.
