ACCESSORIZE FRENCH FURNITURE WITH DESIGNER DECORATIVE OBJECTS

Accessories are ideal solutions for modernizing old French furniture. You still have to choose them well! Here is a small list of essential design objects to succeed in this mission!

AN ORIGINAL VASE TO MODERNIZE YOUR DINING TABLE

Nothing better than a vase with clean and original lines to elegantly decorate your dining room table. Many colors and geometric shapes exist to be on top of the trend. To change from glass, the material most used in the design of a vase, why not opt ​​for marble or ceramic? These materials are in vogue right now!

ABSTRACT PAINTINGS FOR AN ARTY TOUCH

The abstract painting is the arty touch par excellence! In your reading corner, right next to your living room chair, install some of these paintings on your wall. Highlight them in a pretty golden frame or with patterns, for example. This abstract touch will bring an original and very arty touch to your decor. We love it!

THE CUSHION: THE ESSENTIAL COMFORT ALLY

Have you ever seen comfortable armchairs or sofas without cushions? We don’t! Here is our advice if you want to modernize your armchair or your sofa: choose cushions with trendy patterns. Geometric and vegetal shapes, for example, are very popular in contemporary decor. Abstract patterns are also welcome to bring a trendy and unique touch.

ADOPT A DESIGNER LAMP TO REJUVENATE YOUR FURNITURE

Near your sofa, your little side table made in France seems out of fashion? Decorate it with a pretty designer lamp. Want to be original? Adopt an offbeat form. With this trendy object, your occasional furniture will be given a new lease of life.

DESIGNER PENDANT LIGHTS TO ENHANCE YOUR ROOM

Why not also choose designer pendant lights? Placed above a dining table for example, they bring fantasy to your room. For a fashionable decoration, we advise you to opt for industrial shapes. This decorative style will bring new life and character to your interior.

You will understand, design rhymes with audacity! So do not hesitate to think outside the box by opting for innovative decorative objects. Give free rein to your imagination and your decorative desires.

THE MIX AND MATCH, THE DECORATIVE TREND TO MODERNIZE YOUR FRENCH FURNITURE

Accessorizing your furniture is not the only technique for modernizing your furniture. Indeed, you can also breathe new life into it by combining furniture of different styles. What could be better than a good mix and match to revitalize your interior? Group together furniture with different styles, colors or materials in the same room. Let yourself be guided by your tastes and your imagination. However, be careful not to go too far… The mix and match can quickly turn into a disaster if there is no consistency. A common thread will help you build a marriage of harmonious styles. Choose for example the same shape, the same material or the same color around which you will decline your interior decoration. You can then bring in light touches some elements that denote by their singularity. This technique is complementary to accessorizing and will certainly modernize your room.

We tested the mix and match for you and here is the result:

In our dining room where there is a beautiful rustic wooden table, we have placed transparent designer chairs. They bring out the charm and authenticity of wood while lightening the space. We love the trendy and original side of these chairs! To enhance our rustic table even more, we added a designer chandelier to our decor. Placed just above our French furniture, it illuminates it and makes it the star of our room. We also like the light offered by the large bay window that overlooks our garden. A rug and wallpaper with plant motifs elegantly finalize our interior.

THE DIY TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR FRENCH FURNITURE

What could be easier to modernize your vintage furniture than to give it a makeover? DIY is the trend of the moment to breathe new life into old furniture. One watchword: be creative!

Has your wooden shelf gotten old? Paint a few drawers white and it will be like new. Tired of your steel chairs? Paint the feet black for a trendy and designer look. The pattern of your armchair is no longer to your liking? Give it a second life by reupholstering it. The customization possibilities are endless! However, be careful, DIY can also be risky if you go all over the place. A word of advice: be organized. You can, for example, draw sketches of your decoration to visualize the rendering. If you want to repaint furniture, limit yourself to 2 or 3 colors maximum. We advise you to opt for a neutral shade such as white, beige or black and to associate it with a more colorful shade such as red, yellow, green or blue. It’s all about balance, so grab your brushes!

However, DIY is not given to everyone. If you don’t like tinkering, why not choose to buy designer French furniture directly?
