French Furniture Adding that Touch of Elegance!

Looking for some elegant interiors to furnish your home? While there are several options to choose from, you might want to consider French furniture. French furniture was essentially Parisian furniture that was created for the royalty, upper bourgeoisie and the aristocrats. The furniture is crafted artistically with a lot of attention to detail. It embodies mainstream designs of Europe and its decorative arts; it draws its influence from regions such as Russia, Spain and Sweden.

If one is looking at elegance that brilliantly stupefies craftsmanship with the inclusion of scrumptious fabrics, then French Furniture is of your type.

Every piece of French furniture has its own identity and does not require any other adornments. You can compare a single stand alone piece of furniture as a painting on the wall. They can lighten up and beautify any part of the room, even if it is just a single piece of furniture that is placed in the hallway. The fabrics are brightly coloured with gold gilds and the fabric used to complete the look of the furniture is usually high quality silk.

There are a few contemporary French furniture types that need mentioning, like the French Beds and Chaise Lounges.

The French bed is made of strong sturdy wood or iron which is always accompanied with delicate and ornate carvings. French beds have the most elegant look and can easily add a touch of class to a bedroom. They are all time classics and can go along with any decor or theme of a bedroom. Simple bedrooms can be decorated with the classic white or cream coloured French beds. There are also glamorous beds that come particularly with gold gilts and the upholstery is mainly made of silk. French beds are opulent, graceful, charming and luxurious and are simply timeless. There is something very unique about French beds and not many styles of furniture can be regarded as the same.  Trends in furniture never stay too long, however the French bed is always avant-garde furniture that goes along with any style.

Chaise Lounges were invented during the 18th century in France and the reason for it being upholstered was mainly for comfort. The feeling of lounging on a chaise lounge is immaculate and only makes one feel like a rock star. Several other lounge designs are inspired by the shape of the chaise lounges.  Chaise lounges typically means a long chair and is nothing close to a day bed that has no back, no arms and is flat. The chaise lounges are handcrafted individually to give it that unique touch and feel. The fabric again can be according to the buyers preference, however they mainly come upholstered in silk. A chaise lounge can be placed anywhere inside a room or even outdoors. Wherever it is placed, it definitely improves the look and feel of the room, giving it a soft elegant and opulent touch. It can even spruce up the dull look of a bedroom or living room. Who wouldn’t want to add a touch of elegance to their home and a chaise lounge will help achieve just that.

Bjorn Stiedl Design for Sale in Provence


european bedroom furniture


High quality and amazing design are key factors in La Pierre Ronde, which is the first property financed by Swiss investors and designed by the Danish property developer Bjorn Stiedl.

This amazing property has after a thorough but tactful renovation now been put up for sale, ready for the quality-conscious proprietor.

In the middle of the town centre of the picturesque Provencal village of Eygalieres in the centre of the Alpilles mountains, Bjorn Stiedl has converted a 330 m2 traditional townhouse to a unique living experience for the large family with the possibility of housing a number of guests who are accustomed to and are expecting to be welcomed in an inviting and sumptuous environment.

You will find La Pierre Ronde directly across from the village church and on the border of the medieval part of the city. A gentle incline leads from the village centre and up to the property, giving it a scenic view from the entrance and down towards the village. A courtyard framing the entire property ensures peace and quiet from the bustling village outside.

The house has 5 bedrooms, most of them with en-suite bathrooms, large living and dining areas, sumptuous furnishings, a fully equipped bespoke kitchen and a number of terraces that naturally link the garden outside with the cosy atmosphere indoors. Glass doors bring the light into the house, and make the beautifully appointed garden an extension of the interior of the house. The local Provencal style has been naturally combined with modern European standards and design, and all materials are of the best quality wood, stone and glass.

The garden has been beautifully landscaped, and there is a tastefully designed sundeck in the private garden area behind the house.

The Provencal village of Eygalieres in Les Alpilles is the place to buy property in France after Cote d’Azur has been run over by the “new money” from Russia and China. The city has an authentic charm, and there is an extraordinary blend of the sun, light and the scent of lavender and herbs that is entirely unique.

The area has been attracting distinguished proprietors such as the royal family of Monaco, celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and others who seek the reclusive charm far away from prying eyes and the hustle and bustle that Cote d’Azur regrettably has become in the past five years.
