Start with the classic Parisian foundation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transforming your home into a Parisian-inspired retreat is all about capturing the ambiance that makes the City of Light so enchanting. Ken Tate, author and architect from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thektfoundation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ken Tate Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reflects on his 40-year career designing French-inspired spaces. \u201cWhat people love about Paris is the ambiance. There is a certain <i>joie de vivre<\/i> flowing through the spaces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create this atmosphere, begin with a cohesive color palette. Ken recommends <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/soothing-paint-colors-for-a-serene-home\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">soothing paint colors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for moldings and walls in shades like antique white, pale French green, or blue-grey for a refined yet inviting tone. Flooring also plays a key role\u2014opt for medium-brown wood with a classic 4-inch board width to evoke timeless elegance. For an added touch of Parisian sophistication, incorporate toile fabrics, scenic wallpaper, or both. \u201cFinally, if starting from scratch, cove crown molding and a 30-inch high chair rail will give it that old Parisian atmosphere we all love,\u201d he concludes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Achieve the look yourself<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to elevate the Parisian charm of your space is by recreating the classic boiseries, or wall paneling often seen in historic apartments. As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15702\/PA\/Pittsburgh\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pittsburgh, PA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-based travel blogger, Rachel from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wheninprovenceblog.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When in Provence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explains, \u201cOne of my absolute favorite design elements found in ancient Parisian apartments is their classic boiseries, or wall paneling. Here in the U.S., where our homes were built long after the style was considered out of fashion, an adventurous DIYer could use materials such as wood, metal or plastic to give the same raised, paneled look or even find one of the many kits featured on online marketplaces like Etsy. The look is clean, classic, and very Parisian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Mix vintage and modern pieces\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parisian apartment decor thrives on the artful balance of past and present, creating spaces that feel timeless yet refreshingly modern. For instance, \u201cClassic silhouettes like Louis XVI chairs, marble accents, and ornate details like gilded mirrors or antique chandeliers pair beautifully with contemporary furnishings,\u201d explains the team at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/frenchquartermag.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">French Quarter Magazine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/14233\/LA\/New-Orleans\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Orleans, LA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cAdd softness and texture with accents like velvet, linen, or silk throw pillows to evoke that quintessential Parisian charm.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To infuse the space with even more character, they recommend incorporating Toile de Jouy textiles or wallpaper. These pastoral motifs lend a subtle elegance that\u2019s both classic and chic. Stick to a neutral palette\u2014hints of blush, muted blues, or creams\u2014layered with warm lighting to channel the cozy sophistication of a Parisian salon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-98048 size-blog-post\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/French-Quarter-Magazine-420x630.jpg\" alt=\"Textured pillows and antique accents in an apartment\" width=\"420\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/French-Quarter-Magazine-420x630.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/French-Quarter-Magazine-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/French-Quarter-Magazine-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/French-Quarter-Magazine-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/French-Quarter-Magazine-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/French-Quarter-Magazine.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo courtesy of French Quarter Magazine<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Julie Maarhuis from the Paris-based lifestyle blog, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aparisiennelife.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Parisienne Life<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> highlights the magic of this harmonious mix. \u201cThink of warm chevron wood floors, marble-topped coffee tables, and vintage velvet cushions. No Parisian space is complete without a gold-framed mirror and a statement chandelier, but feel free to mix it up with some modern art.\u201d Parisians love to mix eras and styles, enriching their spaces with layers of color and texture while maintaining a subtle, neutral base. \u201cThe result is an eclectic, inviting cozy space where you are surrounded by items you love,\u201d says Julie.

It\u2019s all about creating a space that feels effortlessly chic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She continues, \u201cStart with a neutral palette of soft creams and delicate taupes to create an elegant yet understated foundation.\u201d Elevate the space with textured accents like velvet or jacquard pillows, paired with silk taffeta draperies in ivory or pale French blue to catch the light and create interest. \u201cMix old and new by blending modern furniture with vintage antiques,\u201d Jeannine advises. A sleek glass coffee table feels perfectly Parisian when styled alongside framed 18th-century prints or antique market finds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To complete the ambiance, focus on thoughtful details: soft, layered lighting, fresh flowers, curated books, and the warm glow of scented candles. And, as Bergeron suggests, \u201cAyez toujours une bouteille de champagne dans le frigo\u201d\u2014always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge.

Suddenly a traditional piece becomes a striking focal point\u2014and it\u2019s these unexpected juxtapositions that are the true hallmark of Parisian style.\u201d A gilded mirror like the Villecerf Mirror becomes even more striking when styled alongside black-and-white drawings of Parisian landmarks or geometric textiles in vibrant hues.

The key lies in using hues with purpose and restraint, creating a harmonious balance that feels both refined and inviting. \u201cWhen I am decorating a space, I like to start with a clean pallet.
