TRENDING DECOR STYLE
Parisian Decor
Parisian decor blends classic elegance with modern irreverence—mixing ornate architecture with minimalist furniture, eclectic art, and well-worn charm.
Common Characteristics
Architectural Bones with Modern Layers
Crown moldings, parquet floors, and tall windows set a classic tone. Fixtures are often sculptural, vintage-inspired, or unexpectedly modern.
Refined Yet Eclectic Finishes
A mix of antiques, clean lines, and statement hardware—brass, crystal, or painted finishes—add surprise to classic backdrops.
Effortless, Elevated Composition
Parisian rooms feel unstudied but intentional. Soft lighting and decorative hardware both play subtle supporting roles in the overall story.
Our Take On The Style
“Parisian style works because it feels effortlessly chic. We love the play of old and new, and how lighting and hardware add just enough glint and personality. It’s perfect for anyone who wants their home to feel lived-in, curated, and a little bit glamorous.”
— The Amerelle Design Team
Where You’ll See Parisian Style
Parisian-inspired design is found most in cities with old architecture or creative energy—like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. It brings ornate bones together with effortless styling: crown molding, vintage hardware, and a touch of irreverence.
In the South, it pairs well with antiques and soft color, whereas on the West Coast, it’s often more minimal, with just a few French touches layered into modern spaces. Parisian style never tries too hard—but always feels elevated.
Parisian Style Lighting
Statement lighting thoughtfully selected to reflect the forms, tones, and textures that define the Parisian aesthetic. Designed to tie the room together—beautifully.
Parisian Style Wallplates
Wallplates curated to complement the materials, finishes, and mood of Parisian spaces—because the smallest details should speak the same design language.
