One of the most lavish and luxurious design styles is definitely the French interior design. Handcrafted details, sparkle and sheen, plus bold prints and antique-style pieces all make up this seemingly over-the-top look. Not to be confused with the French countryside design style, which is much more down-to-earth and casual, the expensive-looking French design draws from the eras of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XIV, giving a room a fancy, regal appearance. I’ve chosen a select number of pieces that are inspired by the elegant French design:

The gold-tinted Southern Textiles Legacy Elite Queen 11-Piece Bedding Set is ideal for a French-styled bedroom.

The set features the sheets, along with a comforter, bed skirt, 2 pillow shams, 2 throw pillows, a bolster pillow, 2 Euro pillow shams and pillow inserts.
