How are you first thing in the morning? Would you feel able to greet a new day with a slightly more positive attitude if the sight that greeted you was not your current bedroom, but a stunning room decorated with French bedroom furniture and French accessories such as gilt edged French mirrors, French wardrobes, an armoire, dressing table, chandelier, chaise longue, and perhaps exquisitely simple cotton curtains at the window? The only thing missing perhaps would be the view of the Loire Valley or perhaps a view across Provence.
French bedroom furniture has always been the preference for a great many people looking to inject a little charm, elegance, style, design, glamour or fantasy into their bedroom, and one of the best things about French designed furniture is that it offers an almost unlimited choice as far as style is concerned.
Over the years French styles have changed fairly dramatically, and today many of those popular styles have been reinvented, offering an enormous array of choice, from grand baroque to frivolous rococo, from the straight lines of the neo Classical period to the vibrant, bold designs which make contemporary French bedroom furniture stand out in a class of its own.
But whether your bedroom looks out across the verdant landscape of the Loire Valley, a grey, damp high street in Hull or the M25, it's important to give a little thought to how French bedroom furniture can make a difference to your room.
French wardrobes come in all shapes, sizes and designs, so from the bed and wardrobes to smaller details such as cushions, mirrors and lighting, one of the most important things to do is to have a careful think first about what it really is you want from your bedroom. Do you want somewhere to relax during the day, sit with a good book and just have a little quite time to yourself? Is it somewhere you want to disappear to in the evening, or somewhere you want to be able to pamper yourself before going out? Is it more of a dressing room for you, or are you more interested in how your bedroom will make you feel in the morning?
It's easy to look at photographs of bedrooms with French furniture and admire the French wardrobes, armoires and chandeliers, but whilst the design and style may suit that particular room, and appeal to you during the day, how will it make you feel in the evening, at night or when you wake up? The right style will transform your bedroom, but think carefully about what you want your bedroom to be.
Black wood and crystal can create an altogether different mood and atmosphere from white rococo inspired decorated wood, or rattan panelled furniture with white cotton curtains. What type of French bedroom furniture you choose in the end will actually reveal a great deal about you, and your personal secrets, wishes and fantasies, but that's fine. After all, your bedroom is the one place in the whole house that really is exclusively about you.
