Inspiration from the French capital, including our Parisian Edit
How to bring the classic yet contemporary Parisian aesthetic into your home.
French interior design has proved to be a major trend in 2024, with all eyes on the capital and its effortlessly chic style.
Just a few simple touches can help you capture that Parisian charm in your home. As well as curtain and Roman blind fabrics in our NEW Parisian Edit, we've lots of ways to give your windows a stylish air of 'ooh la la' from quintessentially Parisian café-style shutters, to delicate Voiles and rustic Wooden blinds.
Along with our friends at House Beautiful, here we share our tips for getting the Parisian look.
Bring classic style to your home with this laidback collection of Roman blinds and curtains that captures the essence of Paris and those whimsical interiors that are instantly recognisable as French.
The edit is perfect for creating a Parisian-style living room, embracing a love of natural styling and happy spaces. There are ginghams in faded shades of red and blue and classic French stripes on rustic linen-look fabrics, inspired by Parisian café culture and a flea market aesthetic.
The hero of the Parisian Edit is our Toile de Paris fabric, a truly unique design. This simple line drawing of Parisian street scenes brings a playful element that’s fun and welcoming.
Whether it's a charming café tucked away on a side street, the grandeur of a historic monument, or the laughter echoing from a bustling market, each moment sparks inspiration.
Originally woven in the French countryside, gingham has become synonymous with Parisian markets and cafés. But beyond its connection to France, gingham's timeless design resonates with our current desire for comfort and a connection to simpler times.
It's a perfect choice for a Parisian-style bedroom, where it can evoke a sense of effortless chic and understated elegance. The playful check is also often associated with children, which makes it a lovely window dressing for this child's bedroom.
Parisians are the masters of effortless chic, in both their clothes and their decor. Stick to a calming, neutral palette of whites and creams on walls and add drama with flashes of bright colour on blinds or cushions
With stripes reminiscent of French ticking, our Déjà Bleu curtains introduce pattern and texture to this dining space while keeping a clean and airy feel with plenty of natural light.
Complemented by a calming neutral colour palette and rustic furniture, they're the perfect addition to any living space seeking a touch of Parisian flair.
With measuring and fitting always included too, it’s never been easier to welcome the essence of Paris into the home.
The coquette trend translates beautifully into interiors. Think Marie Antoinette meets modern living, but with a touch of Parisian flair – after all, the term "coquette" itself originates from France.
Soft, airy materials like sheer Voiles in blush pinks, pale lavenders, or powder blue are key to this aesthetic. And don't be afraid to play with layering! Pair curtains with a Roman blind underneath for a touch of drama that will add both practicality and visual interest. Delicate stripes echo the sophistication of Parisian fashion while maintaining the romantic and playful spirit of the trend.
A Parisian home is incomplete without fresh flowers. Bouquets of roses, peonies, or lilies breathe life into the space and add a natural burst of colour.
Bring home the blooms through your window dressings with floral patterns like this beautiful Delizia Indigo curtain. Sprays of blue flowers feel fresh and bright for the warmer months of the year, while in winter the soft hues brighten dark nights and look lush in the glow of scented candles. Team with a Voile curtain to gently filter the light for an extra touch of Parisian charm.
For a visually interesting and inviting space, mix classic patterns like gingham and stripes with natural textures like linen.
Window dressings that cover the lower half of your window such as café-style shutters are quintessentially French.
In this home office, café-style shutters in Stone Grey are a perfect reflection of the practical yet elegant Parisian way of life. They help maintain a sense of privacy while letting in plenty of natural light through the top half of the window.
It doesn’t get more Parisian than café-style shutters – effortlessly chic, they immediately conjure up memories of sitting in the French capital, café au lait in hand, watching the world go by.
Warm wood tones, exposed beams or distressed floorboards often seen in older Parisian apartments, are a hallmark of this style. Rustic elements bring a touch of charm and character to a space, while maintaining the sense of sophistication French interiors are known for.
Take wood to your windows with our range of Wooden blinds. A comforting addition to any home, Wooden blinds have the quality and luxury associated with a natural product, for spaces that feel naturally warm and welcoming.
I’m really excited to see all the Parisian colours and patterns emerging in interiors. Parisian style can be chic, elegant, or simply rustic.
At the heart of Parisian style is a neutral colour palette, often dominated by soft shades of white, cream, beige, and grey. These hues provide a canvas for other design elements to shine and create an atmosphere of understated sophistication.
In this bedroom, the clean, classic stripes of our Duke Olive Roman blinds in a neutral colour combination infuse a sense of warmth to the space and pay homage to the elegance of French design.
