The “cabriole” legs, or S – shape that mimic the more curving and natural forms that were stylish in the 18th Century[/mks_pullquote]Looking for a French style entrance or foyer idea for your home? Why not welcome your guests with a statement zebra rug, and traditional gilded hand carved furniture? A distinct feature of Versailles and French Regency style were bronze or gold gilded furniture, created by bronze makers who were masters in their craft. Today this same effect is achieved using paint and furnishing techniques, which are much more affordable. If you you’re dying to decorate your home à la Versailles, then gilded furniture pieces are a must!

2. French Bathrooms Need Marble Tiles

Isler Homes

The palace of Versailles is known for it’s lavish furnishing of the finest European and French marbles. Once used by the rich, it has now become more common in regular households in the form of tiles, backsplashes, and fireplace mantles. If you’re looking to get the marble look in your French bathroom, you’re looking at $100-$300 /square foot including installation. This vanity is a 19th century French antique, turned into a vanity sink. You can buy one similar here.

Cheaper alternatives to marble are porcelain tiles – they look like marble and can be found for $1.99/square foot. Porcelain is a great option if you want a French washroom without the maintenance that comes with marble. Porcelain is more durable, stain repellent, water and heat safe.

Ok we admit that an extravagant, tufted french bed is extremely over the top, but doesn’t it look fantastic?! French bedroom furniture is defined by luxury, and made of hand carved wood with gold details and soft curves. Velvet and soft, neutral fabrics are a perfect choice for a tufted bed design. Looking to upgrade even more? Go with a velvet tufted headboard that is gorgeously accented with plush, gold buttons.

It’s like an upgraded version of the traditional pastel palette – very grown up, yet elegant and airy.

Introducing Pantone 2016 Color Trends

[mks_dropcap style=”rounded” size=”52″ bg_color=”#dd5f5f” txt_color=”#ffffff”]W[/mks_dropcap]ho knew pastel colours would be making a major comeback in 2016? Gone are the days when pastel was reserved for kids rooms and nurseries! This 2016 palette is gentle, soft, and has a hint of spice that makes it grown up and modern. You can stick with the traditional pastels Rose Quartz and Limpet Shell (pastel pink and blue), or you can make your home more fiesty with some Fiesta and Snorkel Blue for grown-up glamour.

Baby Pink Pastel in “Rose Quartz”

I love this pink pastel living room for a variety of reasons! The 50’s lampshades and floral artwork, the green sofa in the corner, and the black front door scream uber stylish and chic. If you’re looking to recreate this pastel living area for your space, Pantone’s Rose Quartz makes a stunning wall color. Not sure which colour to pair it with? “Green Flash” can be incorporated through a piece of artwork if you’re scared to go all in.

This modern home dubbed the Planchonella House is nestled in a rainforest in Queensland, Australia. It features a U-shaped couch in baby pink Rose Quartz. The glass walls and breathtaking views won this home an award at the Queensland Architecture Awards.

Must-Have Pastel Home Essentials:

[mks_pullquote align=”left” width=”300″ size=”24″ bg_color=”#78b3c9″ txt_color=”#ffffff”]If you’re looking to paint your cabinets a pastel blue, make sure you consider the colour of your appliances, backsplash, and countertop before you paint.[/mks_pullquote]So cool and refreshing! “Serenity” is Pantone’s second pick for colour of the year. Are you considering painting your kitchen a pastel blue? Makes sure you consider what you’re working with first! If you have a white or gray kitchen, blue is a perfect match. It also looks great with any colour of hardwood floor; from maple to chocolate brown.

This season’s newest neutral? A smart mash up of lilac and gray which serves as an essential basic colour for every home in 2016. What’s great about Lilac Gray? It’s a unisex and much edgier gray that works for virtually any space. I can see this neutral in a master bath, hallway, bedroom or library.

New York Style = “Iced Coffee”

Brett Design

“Iced Coffee” is a warm yet subtle brown that is soft and gender neutral. This pastel brown works with any season and is a timeless classic! The best part is that it works with more vivid colours. This feminine Manhattan bedroom mixes “Iced Coffee” with hot pink! I love how the feather-print wallpaper is paired with the feather accents on the blanket. It’s a great backdrop for turquoise table lamps. Too cute!

Are you in love with the velvet sofa trend, but you’re not sure which type of sofa to buy?

With so many daring and mouth-watering velvet couches on the market, we help you match your personality to the perfect velvet couch of your dreams!

If you’re a Boho-Girl Deep Down: Pick The Tuxedo Sofa

[mks_pullquote align=”left” width=”300″ size=”24″ bg_color=”#03657c” txt_color=”#ffffff”]The Tuxedo Sofa is a style made popular in the 1920’s (which is exactly why any Bohemian gal would want it!). [/mks_pullquote]If you’re wild at heart with a taste for patterns and a fruitful mix of colors, then we recommend a teal or indigo Tuxedo Sofa! A tuxedo sofa has a boxy shape with the arms the same height as the back of the couch. The great thing about a tuxedo sofa is it’s tailored appearance that is beautifully offset with Bohemian patterns and more laid-back decor. The back height of the couch is great for draping blankets and arranging large, Bohemian style pillows in different shapes and sizes.

Mixing modern and mid-century pieces with Bohemian accents is also trending right now. Remember your home is a reflection of you, so don’t be afraid to play with different styles and pieces!

Gray is a cute neutral that can transition with you throughout different stages of your life

If you’re looking for a velvet sofa that makes a statement but is also feminine, then a tufted Chesterfield sofa is perfect for you! Since a couch is a large investment, go with a gray velvet fabric that can easily be played up with different colors. If you’re looking to switch up your decorating style one day, grey velvet is extremely versatile. Plus, the old-world feel of a Chesterfield plays really well with modern elements, like these Mid-Century armchairs and beige-striped wallpaper.

For The Daredevil: Go With A Dramatic Loveseat

James Thomas Interiors

Do you live on the wild side with a tendency to change your wall color every 2 months? Are you jumping on those new skull-pattern trends and DIY glitter projects off Pinterest?

If you find yourself in that sentence at all, you need a bold and moody velvet love seat for extra drama. Love seats are not too large, and can be a great hangout spot for you to brainstorm all your new ideas.They can also be placed in a bedroom, den, or library due to their smaller size.

If You Have A Family : 3-Seater Is Your Friend

[mks_pullquote align=”left” width=”300″ size=”24″ bg_color=”#39baa9″ txt_color=”#ffffff”]Sometimes it’s great to choose gender neutral colors that can make everyone happy. [/mks_pullquote]For those of you with families or male dominated households, go with a 3-seater velvet sofa in a neutral color. This neutral green set would compliment any family perfectly. If you buy a set of 2, they’re perfect for the kids to hang out, entertaining, and relaxing. I love how they both match and restore balance to this living room.
