In an ideal world, all rooms would have tall windows that let light in and create an illusion of height. However, not all windows are created equal—or tall, for that matter. To help recreate that Paris bedroom vibe, frame your windows with simple, neutral-colored drapes paired with a curtain rod in a complementing color. You want to place the curtains as high as possible. Drapes that go from floor to ceiling can make your room’s ceiling height look taller, adding to that classy but effortless Parisian look.
2. Frame Your Windows

Even with a neutral color palette, your Parisian bedroom should be anything but boring. Make sure to pick out some pieces that you want to highlight. This can be anything from an intricate wooden dresser, a mirror with ornate framing, a stunning chandelier, or a cream couch with accent pillows. It doesn’t have to be new or expensive. In fact, you can scour flea markets and just revamp your latest finds. It’s important to choose something that looks timeless and ornate but also something that you truly love.
4. Add Some Art

Paris is a city of culture. People from all over the globe visit the City of Lights for architecture, fashion, food, and, you guessed it, art. Add an artwork or two to your neutral-colored walls, which coincidentally serve as great backdrops for beautiful art. You can DIY your own art piece, buy prints, or go on a flea market shopping trip to find the right art for your room.
