The most wonderful time of the year approaches, and as expected, many of us plan to transform our homes into festive havens. Paris, a city known for its elegance and style, has several inspirations for Christmas décor. This year, why not infuse your home with the enchanting appeal of Parisian décor.

This week in our home décor guide, we will highlight a few commonly adapted Christmas interior décor styling patterns inspired by the city of light, tailored for different rooms in your home.

Living Room

The living room is usually the heart of holiday gatherings, making it the perfect place to showcase Parisian flair with chic elegance. You will need a neutral colour palette, which includes shades of cream, gold, and soft pastels. For your sofa, go for a beautifully draped faux fur throw pillow and add plush velvet cushions in beautiful tones like emerald green or deep burgundy.

Complete the space with a chic coffee table centrepiece, maybe a mix of candles in different heights.

Dining Room

Who wouldn’t want to create a festive yet sophisticated atmosphere that boosts the festive atmosphere in the dining room? That can be made possible at your home, too. All you have to do is get a tablecloth in a rich fabric, such as velvet. Have it deep red or gold, and layer your table settings with fine china, crystal glassware, and polished silverware for that luxury feel.

To further increase the ambience, hang beautiful fairy lights above the dining table, creating a magical glow that will impress your guests.

Kitchen

To make your kitchen feel cosy and inviting, a little Parisian magic is needed. This can be achieved by infusing natural materials such as wooden cutting boards, woven baskets, and ceramic dishware to create a cosy atmosphere. For a delightful touch, hang a festive wreath made of fresh herbs or dried citrus on the kitchen door.

If you feel like being extra, add a pop of colour with seasonal kitchen towels and oven mitts, and display a bowl of fresh fruits, like apples, on the counter.

Bedroom

Feel free to transform your bedroom into a serene holiday retreat with soft, calming décor. A colour palette that encourages tranquility and serenity in the atmosphere of your bedroom is highly advised. Palettes such as soft whites, pale blues, and silvers are great options to consider. Next, layer your bedding with plush throws and decorative pillows in luxurious fabrics like silk or cashmere.

A cosy reading nook with a plush chair and a warm blanket can also provide a perfect spot for relaxation during the busy holiday season.

Entryway

Your entryway sets the tone for your home, so make it inviting with Parisian charm by hanging a stylish wreath on the door, perhaps made of fresh greenery and adorned with ribbons in soft colours.

Embrace the spirit of the season with a touch of Parisian flair, and make your home a beautiful sanctuary for holiday celebrations this period.
