Hello, my friend! It’s time for a Paris adventure. French interiors are effortlessly chic, as one would expect from one of the most elegant cultures in the world. So how can we capture this enchanting aesthetic in other parts of the globe? The French interior design style focuses on timeless elegance rather than fleeting trends. It’s a mix of high-end style, intricate detail and breezy effortlessness. We have put together a collection of four luxurious designs that showcase the high-end principles of chic Parisian apartments, where clean modern lines meet decorative slices of elegant royalty. Stay with us through this lot of modern French interior tips, inspiration and decorative accessories that will help you nail the look.
The French have an affinity for chic white interiors. Combine a fresh white background with warmer white, cream and beige furniture to create an interestingly toned thing.
Notice here how the living room wall and the carpet of the living room come together with thin contour patterns. The two pieces cleverly coordinate without over-tuning to fit the effortless yet put together French aesthetic.
Bring the gap between the old and the new with smart tags and vintage accessories. This sleek vintage fireplace display adds an antique brass bloom through the black finish of an original fireplace. Modern chairs fly the traditional ensemble.
Complement original architectural features with contemporary furniture. This curved sofa completes the arched window frames with its gracefully rounded shape. One arched window perfectly frames the Eiffel Tower and the city of Paris. See more inspiration for using bows creatively in interior design.
Lightweight drapes hang from niches along the ceiling line.
In a city famous for its art and culture, use art to your advantage. On a short wall between the living room and dining room, abstract art draws attention to an elegant console table with a unique table lamp.
The designer table lamp is joined by a neat stack of coffee table books, while the rest of the console table remains peacefully bare.
Bird figurines adorn the wooden dining table and a high shelf at the back. Decorative vases cast a reddish-pink accent hue into the mix, while a linear hanging light is colored with bright turquoise arcs. The colorful interludes happily reflect the carefree French attitude.
Natural wicker chairs warmly coordinate with the wooden dining table.
Achieve a modern French country kitchen look with framed wooden base units, a thick apron sink and a retro-style refrigerator.
This modern French residential kitchen comes to life with cherry red accessories, including a set of Thonet chairs at the kitchen table.
A modern faucet arches over the farmhouse sink, creating a beautiful balance of traditional and contemporary shapes.
Our second inspiring French home design is a classic-modern Parisian 19th century apartment. Focus is placed on the intense natural light and choice of simple but elegant furniture. A square coffee table commands the center of the living room, under a complex modern chandelier.
17th, 18th, and 19th century buildings are characteristic of Paris. Their history and charm must be respected as they introduce a new elegance and practicality. In this apartment, an arresting arch is given space to breathe with minimal decoration replaced around it.
White tongue and cinnamon paneling cleanly adorn the room.
A fabulous French fireplace nails the Parisian aesthetic with little need for anything more.
Use wall art to provide a modern juxtaposition with the traditional flowers of a French fireplace to keep the eclectic air effortlessly.
Form a casual reading night with a comfortable chair, a small side table, a magazine rack and a swing arm wall lamp.
An open kitchen shelf is stacked high with lots of beautiful pastel ceramic batteries. The screen is as useful as it is beautiful.
If colors are faded in the main living quarters, don’t be afraid to change things up with a palette of brightness in the bedroom. In Paris, everything goes.
The wooden floor under the bed is laid bare to maintain a relaxed feel. The only bedroom rug comes in the form of a small runner by the door.
White walls continue to reign within our third Parisian home. Large indoor plants add an intense burst of deep emerald green. In this open concept living space, a large rug serves as a holding device to match gray living room furniture.
The arrangements of living room furniture should encourage deep conversation, so the small sofa is positioned to face two coordinating chairs.
Two smaller chairs round out this U-shaped furniture layout, and also loosen the color scheme.
Behind the larger armchairs, double-glazed windows flood the dining room with natural light.
As in our previous Paris apartments, this home is blessed with a great fireplace. Its ornate flowers are repeated by an antique mirror in the dining room.
Balance bold traditional features with color-coordinated modern pieces, like this sharp, contemporary black bookcase that pulls out of the fireplace.
Whether you’re an active artist or just an enthusiast, put artwork on a stand to create an inspiring art studio aesthetic. This decorating tip works especially well in peaceful home libraries and stylish workspaces.
The black finish of the fireplace also affects a black marble dining table, and black-framed windows and doors.
At the opposite end of this French lounge, the elegant dining room draws attention with bold green upholstered dining chairs.
Paris is about passion. Red accent decoration brings warmth to this bedroom. Gold swing arm wall lamps add luxury over curved bedside tables. A set of glass vases awaits a red rose.
A gentle humorous system spells out romance.
Indoor plants are in stark contrast to the red bedroom rug.
Fashionable French culture requires an organized closet. Glass wardrobes and indoor LED lighting showcase a treasure collection. A modern sputnik chandelier provides light to the rest of the room.
With the sputtering light off, the wardrobe LEDs become atmospheric bedroom lighting.
A tablecloth is pulled up to the bedroom window so that natural light can help the application of minimal makeup in the flawless French way.
A light-permeable rotary screen prevents makeup from falling from the back of the vanity table.
The rotating vanity chair makes up a delicious set with the matching table.
Create delicious vignettes in unexpected places. Gypsophila’s feather makes a beautiful duo with a small vanity mirror.
Finally, our fourth French home tour begins in a white lounge with a welcoming curved sofa design, round armchairs and arched pendant lights.
Lab panels help visually zone the compact room, creating a framed feature behind the dining room and doubling as a beautiful TV mount.
A gilded decorative mirror adds a taste of the traditional into the modern white room. French doors let in plenty of sunlight from a living room balcony, which illuminates the shiny golden mirror frame.
You don’t need to have a working chimney to enjoy a delicate fireplace or the warm flicker of a living flame. Simply secure your chosen genuine fireplace to the wall and fill it abundantly with ivory pillar candles of various heights.
Delightful things come in small packages, like this jewel of a powder keg. A curved-shaped mirror and open bathroom shelves soak inside a decorative arched gate. The modern vanity storage is fixed deep into the microcement wall to achieve a slim look.
The shallow arch gate is finished in the French way with a decorative corbel that rolls elegantly into the color-matching microcement wall. A curved shelf slides into the tight corner of the space, creating enough space for a modern bathroom sink, soap dispensers and some toiletries.
