Decorating with a Paris Theme

RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme Post By Jane (Guest Post) (09/22/2008) 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!

For decor on it I have Parisian hat boxes and French lilies and irises.

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.

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 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.

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! :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme Post By Sarah.

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.

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!

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. Report Spam or Abuse HEy!!

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme Post by Suzanne S. (185) | (02/23/2005) Contact 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.

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.

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.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Decorating with a Paris Theme Post By Linda (Guest Post) (05/26/2004) 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! Report Spam or Abuse
