In case you are planning to revamp your old home decor with that inspired French look, then this article is suited to provide you with all the needed information you have been yearning to gain, at times through the pages of magazines and at times reading those complicated websites. The French people are great admirers of art and aesthetics, and it is noteworthy that they pay a lot of emphasis on decorating certain areas of the home specially bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms and walls. Apart from antiques, curtains, crowns and other accessories, lighting is the vital part of their home decor. It sets the mood and tone of the dwelling, and in case you are really planning to refurbish your dwelling inspired by French country style, you must not take the lighting for granted.

There are various kind of light fixtures that are specially dedicated to French decor. The secret to creating a stunning French bedroom is as simple as procuring a pair of exquisite lamps, which can be placed next to the bed adorned by light colored bed linens. The intricate lights mounted on the walls will enhance the embroidery and hand stitched work on dyed fabrics on the linen. A colossal chandelier like the St.Tropez French Chandelier PSL/VB2337 hung in the middle of the ceiling will also help in lending the basic French look to your bedroom. When it comes to bathrooms, the French bathrooms always have a very vibrant and colorful accent. You can introduce colorful French lighting in the bathroom space with different bulbs encased in the beautiful French ceramique wall lights such as Georgian Gothic Wall Light PSL/VB2237 or Georgian Pond Lily 3 Arm Wall Light PSL/VB2259. These can be installed on the drywalls near to long shower curtain or near the deck or earthenware bowls placed in the bathroom. The various French lights available in the market are dedicated to imparting various looks such as old, new or natural.

Supplying the living room with French taste means more than introducing exotic cushions and cotton quilts. A colossal Monaco Chandelier PSL/VB2338 or a Brittany Chandelier PSL/VB2341 is what you need. The light bulbs are accompanied by stunning and sparkling case covers. The warm colors such as deep gold, burnt red, brick red etc., soften the gloomy and carved metal finishing. The main function of lights is to create a feel of opulence and extravagance. Colorful light falling from the carved iron chandeliers on rusted antique decorations and enamel vases adds more drama to the room. One can also get the ceiling fans installed with peppy colorful lights. Wrought iron and metal are also important elements of French decor, and carved french ceramique table lamps placed near the metal items will ensure that these get full exposure.

As mentioned in the beginning that French people are very fond of art, so every French home exhibits some great work of art on the walls. Wether its the work of Jean Achard which makes way into your home or the paintings of Balthus you wish to hang on the walls, you can enhance the paintings by placing small wall lights above them. Even if its a torn wall painting or a magnum opus with broken frame, the wall lights such as Georgian Vestry Wall Light PSL/VB2209, Georgian Anstey Single Arm Wall Light PSL/VB2238, Georgian Arrow Tail Single Arm Wall Light PSL/VB2240 etc., will give a new life to the artwork. It will be wise to choose nature inspired colors such as sky blue, dewy green, colors seen in countryside flowers for the lighting. These colors will grant the needed vibe to your French looking dwelling.
