Oak Bunk Beds for a Parisian Look

The Parisian apartment look combines pale walls, panelled mouldings, parquet floors and a relaxed mix of old and new furniture. An oak bunk bed can sit naturally within this style when the frame is simple and the character is built around it. In this guide we explain the principles behind Parisian interiors and how to choose an oak bunk bed with light tones, clean lines and a soft matt finish. We look at creating a chalky off white backdrop, adding wall panel mouldings for instant character and choosing floors and rugs that suit the scheme. You will find advice on dressing both bunks in washed linen, hanging a single statement mirror, mixing in a vintage piece or two and lighting the room softly with brass and glass. We also cover curtains for tall windows, keeping accessories personal and few, and balancing elegance with the practical storage and safety that a shared bedroom needs in a UK home....

You will find ideas for layering bedding in linen, ticking and toile, adding smaller decorative mirrors with restraint, and choosing floors and lighting that complete the mood. We finish with colour combinations that grow with children, gentle care for gilt frames, and the safety steps every mirror in a child's bedroom needs....
