Individuals who have furnished their house with French
furniture find beauty and glamour beyond belief. Run of the mill
furniture, it is certainly not; as houses become the envy of every
neighbour and admirer.
Guests love to visit and admire the aura created in the home.
French
furniture is without question the most fashionable and sensitive in
expression. It is characterised by superb, bowed legs, flowery silvery
or amber trimmings on drawers and handles. There are also curved
contours and cream and white colours predominating. Racy fabrics and top
quality wood give way to making any area decorated with French
furniture, one that is fit for a call by royalty.
To
get an idea in your mind of what French furniture looks like, consider
Louis XIV, a golden age, outstanding arts, well penned literature and
the French Court. The man known as the Sun King is the one who started
the love of French furniture. It was the 17th Century, and a decadent
and hedonistic lifestyle was the norm.
Not
to be missed are the fabrics on French furniture. You will find loads
of chair seats upholstered in the cream and gold brocade with tassels,
loved by the French, on each recess. This designing is frequent in sofas
and chaises longues, and in delicate furnishings.
Dining
rooms are transformed with a French dining table and chairs. To
complete the look, place a heavy French mirror above an open fire place
or mantle piece. The ceiling would be not be complete either unless it
holds a French crystal Chandelier.
This
lavishness can be repeated in your living room with a couple of chaises
longues instead of modern sofas to recline on. Place the TV in an
antique Loire cabinet that is opened while you watch TV and closed when
you are not. This way the TV is hidden and the cabinet blends in with
the decor unlike most TVs.
Of
course French mirrored furniture will make you feel like you are
sleeping in a castle. The padded seat belonging to the large dressing
table will fulfill the job in the bedroom. Standing on shaped feet (like
little paws) and elegant legs, in pure white, silver or gilt, with
complex handles these items will make your bedroom into a French
boudoir.
Without
doubt the vanity stands, for around the basin , and the enormous range
of hanging racks will suit the bathroom. This will resemble a
renaissance conversion. Beauty in your house is possible with French
furniture. Why shouldnt you feel like a queen or king every day? French
furniture has a way of transforming your home into one of fashion and
elegance.
