3. French bedroom ideas

Bedroom furniture is one of the most sought-after aspects of French design, with beds being very popular. Whether it is a sleigh, rattan or rococo bed that suits your taste all are widely available in French bedroom design.

Upholstery in this sector is very important and can really transform the feel of any French bed. Try combining sumptuous silks or crushed velvet's with beds that have wonderful deep button detailing; these truly are a match made in heaven!

For pieces with a more minimal design, linen upholstery makes a great companion. Chests of drawers are the perfect friend for a charming French bed. Pieces with lovely silver leaf detailing and beautifully shaped feet are ideal for transforming any relaxation space. Equally Venetian pieces with smoked glass finishes make a great alternative to typical French chests and still retain a distinctive character.
