Whether you just moved, or are looking for a redesign, Parisian home design is a beautiful and sophisticated style that combines contemporary and classic design. Parisian design is the art of simplicity that incorporates French style, vintage furniture, classic upholstery, mirrored surfaces, and vintage/contemporary art to name a few. Imagine walking into a modern Pride and Prejudice… that's what we are going for! Now, even though Parisian design tends to lean toward a more sophisticated and luxurious look, it does not need to break the bank. Today I will share how you can affordably achieve a living room or bedroom in full Parisian style. I found so much information on this design style that I will be following this post up with a part II. All products are listed from lowest to highest price with a range of options to include people at different stages in their design journey.
Three products that fit the bill for your new home design project:
- Chandeliers/lighting
Parisian chandeliers are renowned for their intricate and detailed designs. They feature delicate ornate motifs, and metalwork. They are beautiful, often inspired by historical French aesthetics, and truly epitomize the timeless elegance of Parisian interior design. If you are renting be sure to double check with your landlord that you can switch out lighting, but don't be afraid to ask! The size of your chandelier also depends on the size of the room and how grand of a statement you are hoping to make.
Attached are many Parisian style chandeliers most falling around $100-$200!

- Furniture
When it comes to furniture placement, Parisian style values breathing room, minimalism, neutral colors and antiques. Don’t be afraid to also incorporate furniture with curves, boucle fabrics, or leather. If you have a corner in a room where you can place a chair you could try to stretch your comfort zone by choosing more of a contemporary furniture piece to jazz the space up. Leonce Chenal, French Lifestyle Blogger, wrote ‘In the best Parisian interiors, periods and styles are mixed all together - family heirlooms, vintage found objects, travel souvenirs, and contemporary furniture - for a style that's personal.’

- Bed Frame
When it comes to designing your room, understanding your room sizing is really important before making any furniture purchases. A smaller room will require a bed frame that maybe doesn’t have a footboard, whereas, a more spacious room could allow you to be more free in your bed frame selection. For a Parisian styled home you could go with a frame that has French metalwork, linen, light woods, and more. I usually like to air on the side of simplicity when it comes to bed frames so below I have attached some of my favorite finds for Parisian bed frame designs! Some of the starting prices below are for full size beds. Prices may change when/if you change to Queen or King size.
