The bedroom is one of the most private and intimate rooms in our house. It is where we rest, are at our most vulnerable state and, hopefully if we desire it, this is where we feel nurtured and loved within an intimate relationship. Furthermore, the bedroom is where we start and finish our day. This is where as a child we were read stories, and it is the very place where we dream and entertain our most personal thoughts. So, it is little wonder that for many people the French style makes an ideal bedroom; even if one is only to bring some of its soft and romantic elements such as a chair, a few cushions or wall art.
What makes a bedroom French?
The French style does not follow a formula, but how shall I say it… it is more of an intention. It is about bringing an emotionally aware and romantically inclined approach. It’s about a certain lightness of spirit and touch. It’s about being a bit quirky, bringing sensual elements and, above all, infusing it all with a sense of joy or as the French call it: “joie de vivre”. In other words, and as wikipedia defines it, “a cheerful enjoyment of life”. I like this translation….
So, I will be writing a few blog entries as an attempt to show how I try to infuse my interior design, particularly in bedroom design, with this sense of joyfulness.
Ultimately, isn’t that what our homes should bring to us all?
