Bring the feel of Paris in the Twenties to your home and live \u2018la Vie en Rose\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Whether or not you are a Woody Allen fan, you can\u2019t help but adore the main character of the movie \u2018Midnight in Paris\u2019. We\u2019re not referring to Owen Wilson or Rachel McAdams, the real star is Paris herself. <\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout all three time periods in the movie; the 1890s, 1920s and 2010, authentic Parisienne d\u00e9cor is front and center, and we couldn\u2019t help but take notes!<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica is my country and Paris is my hometown.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

-Gertrude Stein<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The best part about Parisienne decor is that it\u2019s easy to achieve. Gather a few key pieces, play some Cole Porter to add ambience, et voila!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Recreate Gertrude Stein\u2019s Atelier<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Artwork, dark wood paneling on the walls and ceiling, and antiques of every kind: these form the basis for Stein\u2019s original 1920s apartment d\u00e9cor, but you needn\u2019t go that far.<\/p>\n

Your den or library can echo the age and style beautifully with some carefully chosen artwork in gilt-edge framing, mirrors, antique brass lamps and dark-colored furniture. Each of these accents will give the appearance of being vintage (and expensive) without the worry about exposing a valuable piece to the wear of tear of pets and children.<\/p>\n

The Parisienne Dining Room<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you have a formal dining room and want to give it a touch of Paris in the Twenties, opt for brocade chairs, ornate wallpaper, rich velvet window coverings and gilded mirrors.<\/p>\n

A truly opulent crystal glass chandelier will round out the look.<\/p>\n

Too much, you say? We say there\u2019s no such thing! Parisian d\u00e9cor should exude shameless luxury. The idea is to design a dining room that makes you feel like you\u2019re actually there, even if all you\u2019re eating is grilled cheese.<\/p>\n

A Paris Caf\u00e9, Conveniently Located In Your Kitchen<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If the dining room feels like a bit much, a gentler option is to create the look and feel of a Paris cafe.<\/p>\n

Go with vintage looking cane chairs or a simple caf\u00e9 chair like <\/span>the Belize<\/span><\/a> (shown below in two sizes) and a round table edged in metal. Add some wrought iron decorative features, and simple lighting provides the perfect backdrop. You can even get a <\/span>wall sized decal of a Paris lamp post<\/span><\/a>, to give the room more joie de vie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now add in a splash of color with dark red draperies or paint an accent wall mustard yellow or bright blue. All you\u2019ll need is a bottle of Bordeaux and you\u2019ve the perfect setting for date night at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feel Like You\u2019re On Holiday In Your Romantic Bedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The bedframe is key to a romantic bedroom that inspires to feel like you\u2019ve flown the ocean to Paris, if only for the night.<\/p>\n

A luxuriously padded headboard like the Upboard, shown below, is a perfect option.<\/p>\n

\"UPTOWN<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For your walls, frame high quality reproduction prints of classic works of art. The cover image from the movie that features Van Gogh\u2019s Starry Night is a lovely choice. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, when we think of Paris bedrooms, we think of rich, floral print (toile) bedding with ornate velvet throw pillows. Lots of tassels and crystal buttons will complete the look.<\/p>\n
