Midnight in Paris – Chic French Furniture for Your Bedroom

Maybe you were already in love with all things Parisian, or maybe you fell in love with the glamour and the je ne sais quoi after watching Woody Allen’s glorious Midnight in Paris last year, either way, there is no denying that French style and design is exquisite.

In Allen’s film, romantic writer Owen Wilson travels back in time to 1920s Paris where he meets faces such as Ella Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemmingway. He visits classic French parlour rooms and dance halls which were as stylish then as they were now.  Beau Décor have some beautiful French style furniture allowing you to replicate the look in your own home, and bring a touch of Parisian chic into your bedroom.

As with all bedrooms, the main focus is usually on the bed.  Whether you’re going for a completely French themed bedroom, or just a few simple touches – a French style bed is a great way to update the look of a room, and give it a vintage edge that will show off your creative interior design skills.  Our Ava White Classic Style Bed is simple yet elegant and will be easy to match to your existing furniture.

For a more striking look, this French Cream Carved Bed could easily be mistaken for a period piece. Adorned with stacks of cushions and pillows and luxury throws, you will be sure to create an on-trend and beautiful interior for your bedroom.

Depending on how much space you have, Beau Décor have some great matching furniture to compliment this stunning piece including the French Louis Themed Armchair, the French Carved Cream Armoire and the French Cream 2 Seater Sofa.

A French style dressing table is another fantastic way to introduce Parisian style into your bedroom.  It will make for a striking feature but will also be sure to make the everyday task of getting ready a more glamorous and enjoyable affair.

This French Dressing Table and Mirror Set is made from stunning silver leaf finish wood and features plenty of storage space for your daily essentials and a matching stool to complete the look.

Invest in a few unique pieces to give your bedroom an authentic French boudoir look.  This Noir Boudoir Rococo Bed End Stool has a sensuous and glamorous look which can transform the style of your existing bed frame or further add to the look of your Paris themed bed.  Simple touches like this allow you to use a few key items to create the look, without the need for a complete bedroom overhaul.

There are many fun and interesting ways to re-create the look of a classic Paris boudoir, mix and match for shabby chic décor or invest in matching pieces for a truly luxury look.  At Beau Décor we have plenty of fantastic items to choose from.  For more ideas and a look at the complete range of products, click here.

Our Tiffany Silver Collection is completely ostentatious and dazzling with a lustrous silver paint effect. Make a bedroom into a state room with the fabulously flamboyant 5ft carved bed as a focal point and the mirrored armoire and antique style chests to compliment. This range recalls a past age of glamour like a period Hollywood film set. A shining jewel of a range.

Mirrors are one of the most useful, multi-functional pieces for your home, and the opportunities for improving an interior with a mirror are almost endless. With a huge range of sizes, shapes and frames to choose from, we have a mirror for every setting at Beau Decor, and we can provide that finishing touch for the perfect look. Our cutting edge, contemporary mirrored furniture and highly ornate French furniture can be complemented with a matching mirror, and no matter what the room, there’s sure to be something that suits.

Mirrors make rooms look bigger and airier in an instant, and this is a useful trick to use if your front room isn’t quite the opulent reception area that you’d like it to be. In the living room, hang a mirror over the fireplace as a focal point, or choose a spot above the mantelpiece if you want your room to be symmetrical. Feeling bold? Hang a feature mirror in a prominent spot to draw the eye.

Have an office at home?  You don’t have to sit in a cold, uninviting environment to work. Remember: if it’s your home, you can buck the trend and decorate it as you please. In the home office, hang a beautiful carved mirror to introduce extra light into your workspace and add a little personality to the room. Position your mirror on the opposite wall to the window to illuminate dark corners and give you more flexibility when arranging your furniture.

In the bedroom, make a statement and choose a large floor-standing mirror, check out our beautiful new carved cream leaner mirror. Our floor standing and leaning mirrors are as a statement piece as well as a functional item. Nothing beats a generously-sized floor standing mirror when you’re dressing for a night out, so don’t compromise: choose something really bold and extravagant to compliment your French furniture or shabby chic furniture. For the ultimate Hollywood dressing room, pair a mirror with mirrored furniture, velvet finishes like our Dazzling Silver Chaise Longue and animal prints.

Our luxury lighting has been hand picked to compliment our beautiful furniture ranges. Switching that modern light fitting for a sumptuous chandelier can make a huge difference to the impact of your gorgeous French furniture.

Some traditional chandeliers have twelve arms and are highly decorative, dripping with crystals and globules of cut glass. Our Large Ivory 12 Arm Chandelier exhibits wonderful shabby chic cream tones but is made from acrylic for durability and a light weight. The height is fully adjustable so you can fit the chandelier according to your own ceiling height.

If you prefer a simpler look, go for a five or six arm chandelier. There’s no need to compromise on glamour, even if you choose to downsize. Our Shabby Chic Chandelier is a really popular piece thanks to its elongated lines and organza detailing frame encrusted with glass beads. If you prefer a little drama, try a dark, contrasting light fitting such as the Adora Smoked Chandelier, or for clean lines, try the carved Amara 6 arm Chandelier.

Of course, you can also use lamps to create subtle lighting effects. Table lamps give you huge versatility when lighting a room. In the daytime, they’re accessories: at night, they can highlight key areas or introduce a lovely warm glow on cold evenings. If a ceiling light or chandelier could be too dominant and harsh, have a look at our stylish Large Gold and Cream Frill Lamp a beautiful French style with a elegant lace covered shade . If you’re styling a country cottage, have a look at The Antler and the ever popular The Stag.

For all-out glamour and wow factor, you really can’t go wrong with of our favourites: the Midnight 10-arm Chandelier also available in a smaller version and Boudoir Black Feather Toile Table Lamp. Its carved base and feather-fringed shade evokes burlesque glam and is sure to add a key finishing touch to your favourite item of French bedroom furniture.

We know every woman loves to be surrounded by beautiful luxurious furniture, and there is no better place but your dressing room or bedroom. Complete your lavish retreat with a gorgeous dressing table. Our customers just love to create that opulent French ambiance in their bedrooms, and a dressing table is an essential component of the classic luxurious bedroom suite. If your bedroom is still looking a little plain, choose a dressing table that compliments your suite and draws the eye.

Each dressing table is designed to make a statement, but that doesn’t mean a small room has to be dominated by the dressing table. Choose between grand French dressing tables with large folding mirrors like our Chateau White Dressing Table and Mirror or pick something a little more compact if space is at a premium like our White Dressing Table and Mirror set . This elegant set has delicate applique dealing, which gives a beautiful French feel to your room. For the complete look, choose a dressing table and stool set. Or to add a little quirkiness team a dressing table with our bedroom chairs.

White dressing tables complete your interior with airy, crisp lines, ornate carving and abundant scrolls, and all of them come with generously sized matching mirrors. We love the tilting mirror on the White dressing table mirror and stool set.

If you’re more into shabby chic furniture pieces, we’d recommend a cream dressing table and mirror set. Cream French furniture is a little more rustic and tones well with almost any shabby pastel pieces that you already have. Again, you have a number of size options: to accommodate larger or smaller rooms.Cream dressing table mirror and stool set, with the grand Large Cream Dressing Table and Mirror. Both are highly carved, ornate and stunning to look at, but you have the option of downsizing if you already have a focal point in the room.

If you are looking to create more of a French Boudoir styled room our black dressing table mirror and stool set will do just that, or if you have a more eclectic style and are looking for something to create a Hollywood Glamour styled boudoir, then our 2 drawer mirrored dressing table teamed with our purple velvet bedroom chair would be a fabulous combination.

Already got a stool and a mirror? No problem. Have a look at our range of console tables as an alternative to a dressing table. Console tables are extremely versatile and allow you to mix and match existing accessories.

Spring is a time for refreshing your interiors, de-cluttering and making your home look beautiful. Now you’ve packed away the Christmas decorations, it’s time to take another look at your home furnishings and indulge in something new. Even replacing just one item in your home can add a new focal point and re-energise your home.

Our range of luxury chairs and chaise longues have been causing a stir in the press recently, and we think you’ll adore them too. Last month, Living Etc featured our wonderful Dazzling Silver Chaise Longue, a sleek, sophisticated beauty with classic feminine lines and gently sloped contrasting legs. This glamorous chaise sits equally well among mirrored living room furniture as it does in a bedroom creating a luxurious style. We love teaming it with animal print cushions for real wow factor!

We’re also very excited that our Oyster Occasional Chair is featured in the January 2012 issue of Vogue. It’s upholstered in a chic and sleek fabric in a wonderful rich pearl colour with a shell-shaped backrest. The button details on the chair give this piece a classic feel without being too busy and detailed. It looks great with shabby chic pastels, but you could also contrast it with our French bedroom furniture, it sits beautifully with our Tiffany Silver Collection.

If you need something a little bigger, try a sofa or a day bed. We have a selection of classic Chesterfield sofas with a glamorous twist and Versailles sofas trimmed with antique gold envoking the French Chateau style. Alternatively, minimalist three-seater sofas are ideal if you don’t want your seating to take centre stage.

Visit our chairs and chaises collection and pick up something new for your home today, or have a look at our fantastic Sale before it’s too late. There are big reductions right across our range, from dressing tables to feature mirrors and lamps.

Beau Decor are thrilled to be able to give our customers a sneak preview of a brand new French furniture range, Rustic Country, which will be introduced to our online store in March.

Shabby chic furniture and distressed furniture most often comes in creams and whites, we found our cream ferme farmhouse range to be our most popular in 2011 with the magazines and make over shows falling in love with it! The raw wooden tops mixed with the cream gives a beautiful relaxed warm feel to the collection. So we decided to keep with the rustic French theme and introduce a new range with a little difference.

Our new Rustic Country range offers a great alternative to the traditional romantic shabby chic look and feminine French furniture shapes, coupling gentle waved surfaces with a subtle yet ornate finish. We think you’ll love the soft grey and brown tones in the wood and aged brass style handles too.

The pale wash on our Rustic Country range gives you that same carefree and cosy look as shabby chic furniture in a more neutral palette. Dark wood accents complete each item and allow you to easily co-ordinate the range with accessories and soft furnishings. Rustic Country furniture looks wonderful with muted brown accessories, grey velvet cushioned seats and rich, natural wood floors, and because each piece sports gently curved lines without heavy carving, it will add interest without dominating your space.

To complete the look, choose a black or antique silver decorative mirror, or choose white pieces to offset darker walls. Rustic Country furniture works well with stylish stag table lamp, a set of black photo frames or even one of our shabby chic mantelpiece clocks. Alternatively, soften your look with some gorgeous rose garlands.

The Rustic Country range will be one of our largest ranges to date with items available for every room, including coffee tables, sideboards, dressers and bedroom furniture, the Rustic Country range will be arriving into our warehouses in January so don’t miss out!

If you’re looking for the ultimate in luxurious bedroom furniture, go French! French furniture pieces are wonderfully sturdy and practical but have that ornamental elegance that will look incredible in your bedroom.

White bedroom furniture gives your room an airy appearance which works well with heavy French ornate carving. Cream pieces tone nicely with pastel colours and can help unite a mixed colour scheme.

If you are looking for the French look but less ornate than our carved pieces with steeply turned legs, choose a more uniform range that features decorative appliqué detailing instead. Subtle scrolls and foliage add interest to the front of a piece, or highlight certain areas, while the overall shape sports a plainer silhouette. Have a look at our antique white night stand for an example. Another option for plainer French furniture is the Georgian range or a distressed look: less curved pieces can still flow beautifully, and distressed wood has a wonderful shabby chic appearance adding warmth to your room.

There’s no need to stick with standard pieces either. Indulge your appetite for upholstery and woodwork with a double dressing table stool, or a bench for the end of that gorgeous French carved bed. Stand a carved armoire against the wall to hide your clutter and keep your room looking fresh and clean. If you’re looking for the wow factor, choose one of our carved or ornate pieces, or choose a bulging Bombe shape to create dramatic lines. Our stunning dressing table sets come complete with carved mirrors to give your bedroom a breathtaking focal point. For the ultimate in opulence, a white day bed is just the thing to give your room that classic French look.

Working with a small space? mirrored furniture is the perfect solution! Mirrored pieces help to illuminate small rooms and make them appear more spacious. Whether you’re looking for chic, stylish lines or you want to add a little Hollywood glamour to your home, mirrored pieces have a lot to offer and can be used in modern or classic settings.

Ornate mirrored furniture gives you all the benefits of light and space with antique styling and classic curves, or choose squarer shapes for clean lines and crisp edges. Beau Decor’s co-ordinating range of mirrored bedroom furniture includes drawers, bedside tables, dressing tables and console tables with mirrored panels and the option of a classic, feminine French curved leg.

The Lourdes and Valence ranges take mirroring one stage further, combining the fantastic clarity of mirrored panels with subtle decorative etching and bevelling. Complete your mirrored Lourdes suite with a matching mirrored dressing table stool, topped with a luxurious velvet cushion seat. For a more modern look, try black glass or black mirrored furniture. Our modernist black side tables can also be used as stylish lamp stands, or opt for a mirrored coffee table which could even be used to house your flat-screen TV or home entertainment gear.

If you’re looking to add highlights to your Boudoir chic interior, pick up an unusual black cube side table or make a statement with a black glass console table. Our modern bedside table range includes a tilt-drawer option which adds interest and reflects light from above: great for small bedrooms. The more ornate pieces are Venetian in style, embellished with scrolls and bevelled edging. Finish the look with a stunning multi-facet mirror or the Shatter console table: both bring art deco flair into the heart of your home.
