French wallpaper for refined decor

In the family of country chic wallpaper, French wallpaper is undoubtedly the most refined and elegant. If you want to create a cozy space that is both welcoming, warm and sophisticated, look no further: high-end French wallpaper is exactly what you need!

French wallpaper: elegant and unique patterns

When you think of French style in interior decoration, the words that come to mind are "refinement", "elegance", "high-end" or "chic". So it will be no surprise if the characteristics of French wallpaper are:

• Sober colors and good taste: white, ivory, champagne, pastels... Neutral shades that coordinate easily and create an atmosphere conducive to well-being, 100% cozy. To add a touch of contrast and a hint of luxury, a little gold and silver are always welcome!
• Delicate and refined patterns: arabesques, flowers, elaborate graphic motifs...

The result is always refined and aesthetic, for wallpaper that stands out, but in all subtlety.

French wallpaper in your home: how to use it well?

Here are a few simple rules for using your high-end French wallpaper well when renovating your home:

• Always make sure to adapt the material of your wallpaper to its intended room: standard wallpaper for dry, infrequently used rooms, non-woven wallpaper for living spaces and hallways, and vinyl wallpaper for damp rooms like bathrooms or kitchens;
• If you want to renovate a room whose walls have some defects (small cracks, holes, irregularities...), also opt for non-woven wallpaper. Indeed, since it is made of several layers of textile fibers compressed together, it is thick enough to hide small imperfections on your walls;
• If you choose patterned wallpaper, remember that the size of these patterns must always be adapted to the size of the room that will receive the French wallpaper. In other words: small patterns in a small room (otherwise it will seem even smaller), and large patterns in a spacious room.

Regarding how to hang your French wallpaper, several options are available to you: all over, as an accent wall, or simply a few strips on a wall. However, to create a true decor and atmosphere worthy of a French country house in your room, the all over option (wallpaper on all 4 walls) is most recommended.

How to create a chic and refined atmosphere with French wallpaper?

To create a chic and elegant atmosphere in your home, high-end French wallpaper is just a first step, and you can complement it with:

• Wooden furniture to accentuate the country chic side. Prefer weathered, whitewashed, distressed or cerused wood for the authentic side: it's a chance to visit yard sales or antique markets to hunt for your furniture!
• Natural materials including linen and cotton which will be the stars of your bedding and home linens.
• Light fixtures in large numbers: nothing like it to create a welcoming and warm atmosphere when daylight fades.
• Statement pieces that will bring the refined side to your room on their own. A large mirror with gilded moldings for example, to place directly on the floor.
• A palette of light and sober colors: white, beige, cream, taupe...

And to respect the "high-end" side, nothing too flashy or eye-catching in the decor, and no clutter or knick-knacks. French touch in decor is more "less is more" than "the more the better"!
