Class and romance is what the Parisian theme is all about. Shraddha Jhaveri, home stylist and decor consultant, gives you tips on how to create this style in your home…

1. The Parisian theme is all about being classy. Hence the liberal use of sheers, lace and pearls.

2. The colours used here are very subtle like peach, gold, and beige. If you want to add more pastels, lavender and white are your options. Refrain from going overboard with too many colours. Weave in hues through accessories, soft furnishings and small accents.

3. You can have furniture with curvy, column-like or straight legs. You can also opt for furniture pieces with straight-back cushions and square-off arms.

Roses and pearls: the Parisian theme is both romantic and classy. Use real or faux flowers, floral prints, sequins, pearls and lace liberally.

4. Satins and other fabrics with embellished pearls and embroidery will lend a rich appeal to your room.

5. Good artworks and objects such as chandeliers and dressy consoles will add a generous dose of glamour.

6. Heighten the romantic quotient – for which this style is famous – with roses and orchids, as the real thing, or via prints on fabric.

7. To include bathrooms, use dark wine bottles with lights. Go vintage with old English-style crockery in the kitchen or an old-world French trunk for holding magazines in the living room. Invest in a chesterfield-style headboard with its distinctive deep-buttoned, quilted look to add a touch of elegance to the bedroom.
