Get the Look: Parisian Pied à terre Inspired Living Room
Parisians are well-known for their distinctive fashion style — effortless chic with staple items. Taking even the most simple items and creating a feminine or even fashion-forward look. So it should be no surprise their style is reflected into their home decor, where beautiful rooms are created with this same approach.
I’ve always had an appreciation for the typical Parisian style of home decor, as I love mixing various style elements together when creating a look, something seen often with that style. You often see a mix of contemporary and vintage elements for this style, which just always looks timeless. Yet at the heart of this style is finding the beauty in simple items of a home, reflecting the history of a space, and creating a home as distinctive and unique as who lives there.
What is pied à terre you may ask? It’s true definition means “foot on ground” and refers to a home one visits from time to time. You know, that dream second apartment in the city we all long to have.
From a beautiful vintage piece like a beautiful chandelier or gilded mirror, there are ways to add a Parisian charm to your own home. I’ve taken key elements of the traditional, effortless, distinctive chic Parisian style for this Get the Look inspiration —
Featuring a collection of heirlooms, vintage pieces, simple materials, and contemporary furniture and accents for a style that is effortless, modern, and defines timeless beauty.
While your home may not have architectural features of a classic a Parisian apartment like herringbone floors, high ceilings, or carved moldings, you can add elements to enhance your space that are inspired by all that timeless style. For the floor, I like this BROKEN CHEVRON RUG that reminds of me of tiled floors and adds interest to help center the conversation area of a living room.
This MORRISON METAL BASE SOFA is a beautiful sofa for any living room. I love how it is both modern yet classic.
What is there not to love about this GLASS COLUMN BRASS FLOOR LAMP ? It is such a classic shape with a modern twist.
A great wood statement chair like this CANE LOUNGE CHAIR is indicative of a Parisian aesthetic — simple and chic.
This French vintage inspired AMELIE MIRROR IN GOLD is the statement piece you need to really bring this look to life.
I love a cool side table that is equally classic and chic, like this HELEN END TABLE that is simple in structure, yet so polished — and quite affordable I might add. I also love this MARBLE BISTRO ACCENT TABLE that is more vintage inspired.
And if you want to go all out, opt for a stone coffee table like this BLUESTONE SQUARE COFFEE TABLE that offers a modern touch to a living room.
