59 Parisian Living Rooms to Make You Swoon

Parisian living rooms can bring elegance and sophistication to one of the most important rooms in your home! Parisian style living rooms tend to take one of two different approaches: they can be traditional and classic (reminiscent of France from centuries past, for example) or they can be modern and updated (think: mid-century modern, and warm hues).

Whatever the style, it’s clear that Parisians love to take inspiration from the past when designing their living rooms. They could easily opt for a vintage-style sofa to take center stage, and pair it with other pre-loved furniture that could have even been passed down through the family.

If you just want to get the Parisian vibe in your home without going full-blown vintage, then you’ll still find some charming ideas for decorating your home, too! Take a look at some of our favorite Parisian living room design and decor ideas below!

As you can see there are quite a few common themes in these living rooms even though they are quite different in style! Parisians love to decorate with crystal chandeliers, dried flowers, and solid-colored sofas, often in burgundy or mustard yellow and upholstered in velvet.

They love mid-century modern furniture and can’t resist a gold mirror! We have a lot to learn from the Parisian style, don’t we? Stay tuned for more Parisian room tours like this one by subscribing to our mailing list below!

  1. I honestly don’t mean to sound snarky, but I have been studying French country for years now, and aside from all the gold mirrors and some ornate fireplace surrounds, I don’t see it here. French is curvy and lush. I don’t see all these wire legs on tables and chairs on other sites.

    1. Hi! Thanks for your comment! This post is about modern-day Parisian living room decorating ideas, not French country living rooms, which have a very different style and aesthetic. There are also many different ways to decorate a Parisian or French home. :)
