French Furniture and Accessories
You know what they say… Paris is always a good idea.
Parisian style, French furniture and French accessories are also a good idea!
Ever wonder how the French so seamlessly pull together clothing and furniture/accessories to make everything sparkle FRENCH…
The French have a certain appreciation for antiques, as well as the beauty of aging. An antique mirror, speckled with telltale signs of age like oxidation and scratches, can bring a sense of history to a room that no shiny, happy new thing can. A vintage desk with water rings from coffee-fueled days has character and brings a human element to a space.
Crystal chandeliers are ubiquitous in Parisian homes. A natural place for one is a dining room, but you can also add a little sparkle in a small powder room or master bathroom. Choose sparkle, crystals and metal for that added bit of glamour that actually mixes quite well with casual.

A French settee is ALWAYS a sure bet as an accent in any room of the house.
Glamour is a major pillar of Parisian interiors, and a touch of gold is often the key to achieving it, such as a gold gilt accessory for atop a chest…
or hanging a French Louis Philippe or French style mirror (maybe a trumeau) over a fireplace mantle, console or French chest. An occasional chair with gold accents can also make a statement.
French candlesticks in gold also add a warmth and French touch to a room.
Antiques are a must-have for every sophisticated home, but they seem to be innate in Parisian homes. The French home lends itself to naturally showcase certain styles of French furniture/accessories, such as, 
imported chinoiserie pieces,
Louis XVI, Louis XV and Louis XIV chairs, desks or commodes. 
All similar, but with slight differences which give the room/home that acquired look and not “matchy matchy”. French antique pieces are ones that you can literally use in any room of the house, they are a worthwhile investment and can be passed down from generation to generation.
