Updating Wardrobe Fronts For A Parisian-Inspired Bedroom Retreat

Paris is lauded the world over for being a city that possesses an exquisite sense of style and this is something that extends into Parisian homes of all shapes and sizes. If the time is right to transform a basic bedroom in your home into something more bespoke, why not look towards Parisian chic when designing your bedroom retreat?

The Core Components Of A Parisian Bedroom

Parisian bedrooms have an effortless sense of style, look elegant in a 'lived-in' sort of way, and celebrate things like small romantic details, luxurious textures, and architectural flourishes.

Wall panelling, cornices and beautiful hardwood floors often take a starring role in Parisian properties, as do neutral colours and an effortless blend of old and new items of furniture. So let's take these core elements and take a look at some of the made to measure wardrobe doors in our collection that embody chic Parisian style.

Incorporate Detail Through Design

Crisp white walls feature heavily in Parisian design and if you want to give your bedroom a sense of lightness and brightness, choosing a neutral colour palette featuring gentle tones is a super simple way to maximise the sense of space whilst still creating a room that feels inviting and comfortable.

The key to elevating a simple colour palette is to incorporate detail into your space through clever design choices, such as made to measure wardrobe doors with beautiful panelled detailing. Our Bella Richmond wardrobe doors are a beautiful example of Shaker design and feature simple yet elegant panelling that will give any bedroom a sense of sophistication.

Pro Tip: There are a number of beautiful neutral colour options for our Bella Richmond doors that'll suit a Parisian-inspired bedroom, including antique white, mussel, carat beige, and macadamia.

Prioritise Features Which Exude Quiet Luxury

One of the central aspects of French chic is its refusal to shout too loudly about its inherent stylishness, so choosing items that have a sense of quiet luxury will help to elevate your space in a subtle yet impactful way.

Our Ora wardrobe doors are the perfect example of quiet luxury, as they have a seamless profile and a high-quality soft touch finish. They can also be installed with a sliding mechanism, which emphasises their sleekness and can help you to maximise space in a more compact bedroom. Each of the colour options for this style will incorporate easily into a chic Parisian design, including agave green and aquamarine, which can offer a hint of colour without looking too overbearing.

Don't Forget Texture

Texture brings warmth and depth to a space, which is essential when you're designing a comfortable, cosy and inviting bedroom. While incorporating tactile textures through rugs, cushions and bedding is important, it's also possible to add elements of visual texture to your design by choosing wardrobe doors with a beautiful finish inspired by natural materials.

As well as the variety of wood tones you can explore as part of our Bella collection, our Valore wardrobe doors are also available in an interesting selection of textured finishes. Vanguard walnut is a beautifully rich shade of brown that can work really well when contrasted with crisp white walls and carefully selected accessories. However, there are also softer finishes to explore here too, such as porcelain gold grey, which has exquisite gold veining running throughout, which will catch the light in interesting and dynamic ways.

Accessorise With Brass Or Gold Finishing Touches

Metal handles can offer a beautiful finishing flourish to your doors and choosing a gold or brass finish will infuse your space with an extra layer of warmth and elegance. Our Windsor shell handles in satin brass are a wonderful option to consider for your Parisian inspired bedroom, as they have a gentle curve that's both beautiful and practical. If you're looking for something a bit smaller, our Windsor knob handles have an understated sense of style that'll quietly add a little something special to your wardrobes.

Pro Tip: Peppering your bedroom with small gold or brass accents will create a sense of cohesion throughout the space, really tying different elements together in a subtle and chic way. They don't need to be large gestures, as a simple gold mirror, bedside lamp or brushed brass light switch cover can be enough to make an impact.
