RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

Bonjour! My mom is an interior designer and during the summer I go along with her and help her plan things. We just did a room that was a Parisian design, with an elegant and simple look. A little "Simple Paris". Anyway, the room was all white (carpet, walls). The bed was wrought iron with white bedspread that had a black trim and pink pillows of all different shades and sizes. The furniture was all white with wrought iron handles (included a dresser, desk, bookshelf, and nightstand). On the walls were mirrors, pictures of the girl and her friends (in black and white), and black and white pictures of the famous places in France. These pictures were all placed in pink frames to match the pillows. Lastly we added white drapes with pink accents and some fresh pink flowers (no roses). The room turned out absolutely gorgeous and the girl loved it!

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

Thank you everyone. I'm getting a new place with my fiance in less than a month and we have 2 bathrooms. I was wanting to do our bathroom in a Paris theme, but very tasteful and original. I know a lot of these comments were for bedrooms, but they were all so very helpful and now I have so many ideas! Thank you

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

Hey! My mom just redid my bedroom as a Paris theme and I LOVE IT! We painted my bedroom pink and put fat silver stripes all over the 3/4 of the walls, ordered a set of white and black "Chandelier" bedding off of eBay and matched it with a light pink quilt, and replaced my daybed with a white Flokati rug. In the spaces where we had not painted stripes, we painted silver diamond shapes on the walls and hung two silver fleur-de-lis's we got at Ballard Designs on the wall. I was also able to find two fun wall hangings at Home Goods that say CREATE and INSPIRE and give their definitions. It is not 100% finished yet, but I am so incredibly proud of what we have accomplished so far. Good luck!

I have a Paris room and I have a shelf painted white with a pink feather boa glued on to the edge and all my books sit on it. For decor on it I have Parisian hat boxes and French lilies and irises.

For anyone who needs bedding, I just bought some here:

I also found a lot of really great eiffel tower pieces at Target, like a lamp base that was the eiffel tower, and some really cute art of the eiffel tower at night.
This is cute too:

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

How funny; I just bought bedding at wakeupfrankie.com for my daughter's Paris Themed Bedroom! Anyway, I am painting her walls a Tiffany blue, and then the bedding is the VS Pink/White with black piping. I also am throwing down a light pink rug. Instead of buying canvas prints, I used Ebay to purchase the wall stencils; I got an Eiffel Tower, a girl walking a poodle, a little sign that says "Alina's Dressing Room (and its in the form of a dress) and then I also had the woman design a hall tree that I will put up and use tiny hooks and then hang a tiffany bag, a tiny purse, a string of pearls and maybe a boa. I got a chandelier that is pink and has beads accenting it. I also just ordered a set of dress sachets and a set a purse sachets that I will hang throughout the room.

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

Great ideas! I have decided to make my 21st birthday party Paris Themed and I found this page very helpful. Thanks for all your ideas. I have decided to have it outside in my backyard and cover trees with white lights, I've also decided to have tables with black cloth and tea lights. I bought a lit up "my size" eiffel tower for guests to take pictures, I decided to make it black and white attire, and for food I will have all types of cheeses, crackers and wine, and also a crepe maker. I hope this helps anyone with any other Paris themed plans. Thank you for all your help!

I am 13 and decorating my room with a Paris theme. First I am getting my walls painted pink. Then i am going to have white black and pink furniture. I also have a huge framed picture of the Eiffel tower which is going over my entertainment center. I will have little Paris decorations to go all over the room. I am doing zebra prints, too.

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

I am trying to redo my room with a paris/fashion type theme. I have already got my bedspread and furniture for my 15th birthday present. I got my bedding from target, it is black, white, and has a dark pink lining. It has this cool looking design on it and I bought the 2 matching pillows that one pillow has a big bow around it and the other has a big white chandelier on it. I also painted my whole room gray. Now I need help finding decorations like hat boxes and metal shopping bags, picture frames that are black and white, and eiffel towers. Stuff like that. I am reading all the previous comments and I thank you for some of the great ideas.

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

Hi. Im planning to do a Paris themed room too. At first I was thinking that I would do black and white, then add splashes of color like red, yellow, or a tiffany box blue color. But then I decided that I would stick to the whole French thing, but make it really old and snazzy looking- with lots of color. Something that almost anything could match in- and at the same time, it all does. This probably wasn't much help, but those were just the main ideas I had... in case it was helpful! :)

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

P'm also thirteen, and doing my room Paris too. I'm painting 2 walls dark grey and 1 wall light pink. The other wall I'm using chalkboard paint on! I found an Eifel tower and an Eifel tower picture frame at target. I'm also going to put French words on my wall, and have a digital picture frame. A mini waterfall to be relaxing, ahhaa, but I'm having a hard time finding a bedspread that is a king size and kinda cheap. Any ideas?

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

I am planning on doing a Paris theme for my new bedroom in my new house. So far, what I've come up with is three walls are going to be a light pink and an accent wall (behind the bed) will be gray. Behind the bed, there will be pictures of Paris, Parisians and of course the Eiffel Tower. As a desk, I am going to buy a flat-surfaced round bistro table and two cafe-style chairs. On the wall beside the table, I will hang a cafe sign. I am also going to find some wood letters painted black spelling "Paris" and maybe some other french words. Hope this helped!

Post By paris (Guest Post)

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

Just cover your largest wall with a landscape of paris that spreads from the top to the bottom leaving no wall left to see blamk and put ur bed in the centre with a bedside table at the side. With a table lamp: the base of the lamp can be of a paris monument which can be made with paper mache which later can be painted for an artsy feel as art is associated with paris. With the rest of the room keep to a deep red colour and add drapes flowing from and across your ceiling for the ultimate Paris feel.

try stein mart and TJ maxx. they have some greally great paris/eiffel tour stuff. Also check out E-bay or if you are really on a tight budget dollar general and big lots have some "look alikes" at much cheaper prices.

Post By megan (Guest Post)

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

If you like a Paris theme than consider using a parchment paper treatment for your walls. France is famous for it's poster art especially by Toulouse. Go to www.art.com and look up his name or poster art and you can find fantastic prints really cheap. Paris is also known for the Champs-Elyse, so consider adding as much white lighting as possible. Prefferably in the form of Xmas lights. Making the Xmas lights into wall art in the shape of the Eiffel Tower would be a splendid and original peice as well. Good luck to you and let me know is you were looking to go more toward the Moulin Rouge direction and I'll see if I can't help you there. Good luck.

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

It depends what you think 'Paris' is like.......Left Bank arty theme? Art Nouveau - Alphonse Mucha posters - French art prints. Fine food and wine? Posters for cheeses, French bread, fine wines and champagne. Folie Bergere - can can dancers - Toulouse Lautrec, voluptuous rich silky draped throws, pillows and bed curtains. If the Eiffel Tower is on one wall everyone will get the idea.

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

I would pull up Trading Spaces and they did the most adorable Paris themed room I have ever seen! It was for a teenager and was too cute! They painted an eifel tower on the wall using a graphic from something else they used in the room. It was very simple and cute and you knew exactly what it was.

I found it on Trading Spaces Family website. Click on Season 1 under Pennsylvania: Brookside Drive. You will see a before picture of a blue room with two twin beds and then click on the after and you will see one side of the room.

Post By Bri (Guest Post)

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme

What a great idea! Can you paint a version of the Eiffel tower behind your bed, so it looks like a headboard. If you are not too artistic, either use an overhead project to project on the wall (borrow from school or church, maybe?) and perhaps some tin florist-type buckets with lots of silk flowers on or under a windowsill. Perhaps stencil some French words or phrases around the top of the walls like a border. what fun!
