Ooh Paris. I need to go again. My own memories are not so great due to the fact some crazy lady attacked my 11-year-old self at one of the Metro stations. It was actually rather amusing but when I think of Paris, I think of crazy, smelly, punching lady. I am, however, jumping on the Eiffel Tower decor bandwagon and had my parents pick me up a little statue while there last month.
I have to admit my complete ignorance here: when I think French interiors, I picture milky whitewashed furniture, Louis chairs, ornate chandeliers. And then I actually visited a few French homes via French Elle Decor and guess what I saw? These beautiful, unique and fabulously decorated homes. Not a chandelier or Louis chair among them. Instead, quirky collectibles, fairy lights, fab vintage pieces and oodles of style. I think I love! Enjoy...
"A" is for awesome style
Dark and dramatic. Love the fairy lights
These paper people would give me nightmares but I quite like the unusual pinboard
More fairy lights! And a coffee table that might just have been a crate.
Great shelving unit
My childhood bed used to look like this! But with a guard rail (my god how could anyone go up there without one? Even to sit?), a lot less cool furniture and much more mess.
A little quirky, a lot cool
Old school desks look good anywhere
Sometimes collectibles don't work as display items. But these do
I've seen a fair few black kitchens lately. They're making me rethink my own. AGAIN! All images from French Elle
