Parisians like to add an old-world charm to their space. Taking inspiration from old buildings you can incorporate features like crown mouldings, elaborately ornamented ceilings and skirtings, reminiscent of times gone by. These faux features can be added in a very budget-friendly way using plaster of Paris.
French-style decor is all about the neutrals. The French believe in letting their chosen decor items take centre stage with the walls acting just as a background. By selecting white, off-white, beige and other neutral colours you can brighten up your interiors making them appear more spacious than they actually are.

Bring sophistication and elegance to your space along with a hint of nostalgia by adding comfortable yet sturdy pieces of rattan furniture. Also known as cane or wicker furniture, such pieces could always be found in a Parisian home and are making a comeback once again. Adding an earthy-toned piece of rattan furniture into your modern space establishes the old and new theme of the space that is favoured by all Parisians.
Using luxurious fabrics is one of the simplest ways to add Parisian style to your house. With the neutral colour of the walls, go for muted pinks, greens, locals, powder blues and other pastels for your curtains or drapes. Velvet, silk and linen are some of the preferred choices of fabric for the French for their cushions and bedding. Do not forget to add a rug in your living space to add another texture to tie the whole place together.
French love mixing old with new. If you are fond of Parisian-inspired decor style, you must have noticed a recurring theme of eclectic decor pieces with retro vibes paired with something modern. Parisians love their gold-gilded mirrors and by adding one to your space you can easily elevate your space and give it a vintage vibe.
