Decorating Ideas for 2018 French Country Bedroom Blue and White
Blue French Country Bedroom Inspiration Ideas from Pinterest: Part 1 Bedroom Makeover
If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen a few inspiration photos I picked there of Blue French Country Bedrooms that have the feel for what I'm creating in my own Master Bedroom. This is the first post as I walk you through my room refresh with my husband.
1. How to Create a Welcoming Guest Room
by Lory at designthusiasm.com
Inspiration:
-
We have the same color carpet in our Master Bedroom. While I thought about layering an area rug over ours for added texture, color, and pattern, you don't miss it in Lory's room.
-
Calming blue wall color
I also want to point out a few critical French Country elements in Lory's guest bedroom, such as wrought iron, worn surfaces, weathered woods, and the lilac floral arrangement.
Couple's Dilemma
Since our Master Bedroom is an addition that used to be a garage, we had to use carpet over the concrete floor for warmth, especially with New York State's chilly winters.
As I mentioned, I did want to bring in an area rug because it helps anchor the room for me as a designer.
However, my husband said no. (Read my article on overcoming decorating dilemmas with a spouse here .)
My Solution
My husband agreed to runners along each side of the bed.
My thought is to get something very soft and cozy to the feet, such as faux sheepskin.
We have yet to add these, however, as you'll see.
So far, the room works without them, as does Lory's welcoming guest room above.
2. Guest Room Makeover
by Shirley Stankus of Housepitality Designs
Inspiration:
-
Bold patterned bedding in blue (shown is a chinoiserie pattern)
-
French Country style table lamp
-
Layered bedding
Note Shirley's use of French Country elements such as wrought iron, a chandelier, and painted furniture.
Couple's Dilemma:
Even though we purchased all the extra pillow shams for the first time in our marriage, now all I hear is complaining every night when the extra pillows have to come off.
My Solution:
Since there is no room to store them in our bedroom nor the closet, the extra pillows have gone into storage.
We will bring the pretty shams out when company comes over.
Or until I come up with a better solution!
If you have a genius idea, please let me know.
3. Southeastern Designer Showhouse
from 17 Blue & White Traditional Decor Ideas from a Showhouse by Michele at HelloLovelyStudio.com
Inspiration:
-
The linens hanging from the bed frame
There is so much to love in this Showhouse Room. The chinoiserie style panels, the chandelier, the petite chair, the same soothing color repeated in every pattern.
Couple's Dilemma
The linens in our master bedroom were purchased when I took my mother to Ireland a few years ago.
I struggled with the idea for months because not only were they going to be used for the bed, but my husband was insisting on using them also on the bedroom window.
My experience told me that there would not be enough fabric.
My Solution:
An extra window panel added on either side gives the window treatment beautiful fullness. (Read: What Is the Fullness of a Drapery? )
4. Pulliam Morris Interiors
by Erin at HouseOfTurquoise.com
Inspiration:
-
The dark bed frame (I thought I would have to paint our wood bed frame white until I saw a few photos where a dark or wood bed frame worked wonderfully in this style of bedroom.)
The French Country elements I love that Erin incorporated include the settee, the hand-painted chest of drawers serving as a nightstand, the scalloped pillow shams in white, and fresh flowers.
Couple's Dilemma
One of our household's recurring dilemmas is that my husband loves and adores natural wood, especially dark wood furniture, while I long for white-painted or whitewashed furniture.
My Solution
People have said to me in amazement in other work settings that I have an abundance of patience.
At one time, I worked with very ill and elderly patients.
(I know I am cranky when I am not feeling well, myself.)
A physician admired my patience with these patients.
It doesn't even occur to me that I am practicing patience.
However, when I look back over our marriage, I see how patient I have been in getting what I want.
Sometimes you know you can't get everything you want, and then there are times when you can't get what you wish for because of another person's preferences.
I've learned that if I wait long enough, my husband will come around.
And I'm not opposed to compromise.
I was dealing with having a wooden bed frame that I longed to paint for many years ended up being one of those times that was a combination of biding my time and compromise.
I agreed to keep the bed frame as is, and we ended up purchasing a refurbished French Country dining set painted white for our dining room as a compromise.
5. Blue Bedrooms
at Decorpad.com
Inspiration:
-
Various shades of blue
This eclectic room has hints of French Country with the chandelier, the nightstand drawers, whitewashed furniture, and fresh flowers.
My Mood Board
In conclusion, I found much in these rooms to be inspired by. With my Master Bedroom reveal soon, you'll see that I used a calming blue paint color on the walls. There may or may not be runners alongside the bed! You'll find bold, patterned blue bedding with the decorative pillows brought out of storage! The matching nightstand lamps have French flair. There is a creative solution to the hanging linens for the bed and the window treatment. And the bed frame remains unpainted and looks great among the various shades of blue.
