Textures play an important role when it comes to the French bedroom furniture.

To add to the beds with carved headboards, you can also go for armoires and beautiful bedside chests with drawers. Dressing tables with mirrors that have elegant frames and great accents are also an integral part of the furniture. Painted bedroom furniture in white or even pink could be a welcome addition with oak bedside tables and chests painted in white proving to be amongst the more sought after items.
Another interesting aspect of French bedroom furniture is the craftsmanship which combined with classy carving techniques makes the furniture look exquisite. Whether it is side rails, central rails, foot boards, head boards and posts or carved legs, plenty of detailing adds an elegant look to the furniture, especially the beds. Painted bedroom furniture in cream, white, black or even silvery shades can add to the lavishness of a room especially in Rococo designs. Slightly distressed mahogany furniture could be just as good for the beds as it is for chests and bedside tables. The unique French styling is also seen in the form of handmade chests and sofas combined with suede fabrics and satin stripes. The 3-seat chaise lounge with a walnut finish and carved edges, fiddle chairs and valets in crisp white shades can add timeless beauty to the bedroom. The beautiful accents are easily evident in beds with plain panels rounded off along with shell motifs.

Ivory painted arch beds can add richness to the bedroom dcor rarely seen in modern sophistication. Sometimes a combination of mahogany and rattan is used to give the beds the kind of finish typical of French styling. Exquisitely designed dressing tables with beautiful mirrors looking more like heirlooms can add a gorgeous touch to the room. Two-door armoires with mirrors on the front and chests with 8 or 10 drawers can provide plenty of storage space as well.
