Top 5 Ways to Incorporate Parisian Inspired Décor into Your Home
Written by: Grace Agar
Simplicity and elegance are the epitome of French décor. Declutter your overcrowded spaces to make for a light and airy feel. Opt for a colour palette that is soft and bright and provides the illusion of higher ceilings and more open spaces. Curate a space that optimises minimalism but ensuring a homely feel with thrifted treasures.
Elegantly illuminate your home with delicately designed lighting that gives that quintessentially Parisian look. Pair sparkling lights with contemporary décor for a space that feels modern, yet indulgent with vintage touches and family heirlooms. Accessorize your space with soft white lanterns housing the warm glow of candlelight, to remain in keeping with a bright, neutral colour palette, but bring in a cosy glow for the evening.
Bring some life into your home with potted plants and seasonal blooms that elevate your space and incorporate a touch of nature. Keeping them neutral, opt for soft flowers in subtle glass vases, to dress coffee tables and kitchen islands. Alternatively, place potted plants in and around your home for a simple solution to freshen up your space.
Combining new pieces with vintage finds that perfectly compliment yet juxtapose one another, this attention to details essential when curating a Parisian-inspired space. Consider the smaller touches, of ivory candles displayed in elegant an elegant glass cloche atop coffee table books and side tables for a touch of French flare.
Continue the theme from the indoors out this summer, to soak up sunny afternoons in a Parisian inspired outdoor space. Look for shabby chic thrifted finds to incorporate into your garden, and add swags of festoons over your dining area for a touch of elegance and sparkle, perfect for hosting gatherings in honour of the Olympics.
