In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”
Twisted metal furniture of elegant design. Choose silver, soft gilding or bronze over heavy wrought iron structures.
Louis XVI style sofa, armchair or canapes
Silk cushions as bolsters on both ends of your sofa
Mirror in gilded or silvered frame above the mantel
Luxurious fabrics - velvet, chenille, silk and linen in muted hues - are either smooth or delicate in damask weave for an atmosphere of opulence that doesn't shine.
On the windows, lambrequins or draperies plus shimmery thin transparent fabrics or light organza.
Glossy textures - from glossy laminate floors to velvet pillows and icy marble countertops in the kitchen.
Careful selection of accessories: "less is definitely better"
Mirrors and crystal to enhance the amount of light by reflecting, and candle fire to enhance the effect of radiant luxury.

French chic is ideal for you if you:
