Interior design with the romantic spirit of Paris
Remember, no bright contrasts! Leave screaming colors and ambiguous accents to hi-tech or pop art fans. French interior design is not a flashy luxury or pompous palace environment, it's rather "elegant simplicity", a kind of "small black dress" among all other styles of interior design. Smooth transitions, soft, pastel colors, gentle patterns, romantic decor, elegance and simplicity are the key concepts of the French style.
It is necessary to clarify at once - this style is very complicated in the implementation, so it will be necessary to make maximum efforts and as carefully as possible to study all the nuances. One extra modern accessory can easily destroy with such difficulty the created atmosphere of Provence.

Elements of interior design
Walls should be as neutral as possible. Matte paint light pastel colors - an excellent choice. You can also pay attention to the wallpaper with a gentle pattern of French calico, such a decor will give the interior even more romantic.
Covering the floors should not distract attention from other elements of the interior. The optimal option - piece parquet or laminate of light colors, this small bias in the village style will help to avoid excessive pomposity, which is not needed.

Furniture as the main accent of the French style
Furniture plays one of the most important roles in creating a French style in the interior. It is worth paying the most attention to this item. It is not easy to create a deliberately light disorder from carefully selected elements. Style Provence in the interior is impossible, for example, without the abundance of small tea, toilet, coffee tables, combining the decor of different styles and eras.
Buffets, chests of drawers, sofas and a huge number of padded stools and comfortable couches should be carefully chosen and perfectly combined, despite the differences in shapes, materials and species. "The devil is in the details," the French say, and this saying can be successfully applied to this interior. The style of the French Provence is precisely the details, a multitude of heterogeneous but surprisingly combined details.
One of the interior elements, preferred for decorating the room, is a fireplace. A wood-burning fireplace in an elegant panel will not only be an exquisite decorative detail, but also an element of the heating system in the cold season.

How accessories set the mood
The second most important point for those who want to create a Provencal style in the interior of the apartment is the accessories. They must be selected carefully and carefully. Although at first glance they look like random elements in the interior - do not be deceived, this impression is fundamentally wrong.
If you have the opportunity and desire to visit the "flea market" - that's where you can easily find several suitable things:
- old or artificially aged screens and lamps;
- paintings;
- all kinds of figures from glass (vases, souvenirs);
- antique mirrors (it is necessary to avoid mirrors in fanciful frames, the French country style is not compatible with excessive pomposity, of course, if you do not want to turn your apartment into the boudoir of a crazy empress);
- various boxes for jewelry and trivia.

Special attention should be paid to curtains. Here you can not be frightened of "demonstrative wealth" and use expensive fabrics (for example, Damask silk) and all sorts of brushes, fringe and picks. Curtains should be double, dense and richly decorated. You can use lightweight, air curtains made of organza. Do not forget about lambrequins. This attribute, pretentious in itself, nevertheless perfectly fits into the decor of the interior in the French style.
Necessarily a large number of sofa cushions on a variety of armchairs and couches, small bouquets on coffee tables and elegant porcelain dishes.
It is also possible to allow a slight bias in the rustic style and add to the interior interesting tapestries for walls, hand embroidery, small rugs of wool or silk. The main thing is to keep a clear balance, do not overload the interior with details, but do not leave it empty, unfinished.
Using these rules and taking into account the nuances, you can recreate in your home the unique atmosphere of frivolous France. Perfect choice for sensual and gentle natures, who like fine taste, aristocratism, luxury and cute antiques.
