  1. French Bedrooms & Heritage

    Ever wondered, why the fascination with French bedrooms? This question has some very deep roots, coming of course from French heritage. For centuries French bedrooms have often been labelled as a sanctuary. Somewhere you can relax and sleep with bliss. One of the most important rooms of the home, a retreat that calls for a little extra spending on key investment pieces; ornate beds, lush armoires, sumptuous dressing tables and luxe textiles such as cashmere for the finishing touches. French bedrooms Inspired by an Exquisite History Opulent themes look stunning in French bedrooms. Many pieces have been inspired by furniture and designs from Louis XIV's Château de Versailles, later transformed to become the striking  Palace of Versailles.

Erected by Louis, this beautiful building was once a small Chateau, transformed into the heart of France and the centre of all political power from 1682-1789. With luxurious textiles, gleaming accessories, ornate furniture, gold and silver leaf embellishments, this stunning royal palace inspired many of the classical and timeless designs we still reproduce for French bedrooms today.
