The definition of French architecture is actually very broad. French architecture or French Architecture is actually another name for Gothic architecture. This is because Gothic architecture was born and first appeared in France. For this reason, most of the buildings in France are Gothic. However, actually from time to time, French architecture is always changing and influenced by several architectural styles.





In France, Gothic architecture can be found in castles, churches and cathedrals. One example of the Gothic basilica in France is Saint Denis Basilica. In addition to the church, Gothic architecture is also widely used in the palace, and one of the famous is the Palais des Papes in Avignon.




Actually before the Gothic architecture emerged, French architecture is dominated by Roman architecture like most other regions of Europe. After the industrial revolution, many buildings in France were transformed into Neoclassical styles. One example of the building is the Pantheon Paris or the Capitole de Toulouse





If we talk about French architecture, we will not be able to escape from the famous Eiffel Tower around the world. The Eiffel Tower is the most phenomenal work of Gustave Eiffel, an architect who has designed many bridges in the 19th century.





In the 20th century, the emergence of modern architecture also brought influence on French architecture. One of the most famous architects of Le Corbusier designed several modern-style buildings in France. One of the most famous modern buildings is the IMPei pyramid de Louvre. De Louvre is made of glass and iron for its structure. One characteristic of modern architecture is the use of materials from fabrication materials such as glass, steel, or stainless.





France may be considered the most stylish country in the world. Starting from the field of fashion , culinary, as if by français les has its own artistic value. Of course, the French architecture and unique interior design style is very worthy of our discussion. Here are some tips for creating a touch of Parisian chic on your home:




Use the right white color. In general, there are no bright colors on the walls of French homes, especially in Paris, which must always use white. However, the white color used is not a pale white color. The right white used to create a Parisian chic atmosphere at home is a cream-white color with a touch of pink. Pale colors like pale mint and gray can also be used.





Maximize your home features. Some of the most distinctive features of an apartment in Paris are high roofs, cornices or profile lists, panel walls, and parquet floors. If you already have one of these features at home, you just maximize it alone. Use a high curtain to touch the floor to make the shape of the room higher and do not use too much decoration on the wall.




Not much decoration. The French know the value of a minimalist style. They are never afraid of empty space on the walls or floors of their homes. The artwork used is usually only one and large, or even nonexistent. They also often do not use the carpet in the room, and only expose the parquet floor. So, rather than adding too much decoration to the room, try to apply the famous quote from Mies van der Rohe: " Less is more".






Vintage furniture In the style of French interior, sometimes old and old things are juxtaposed with new items. You can also move the old furniture to another place, so they get a new "light". Maybe you can also hunt antiques to the flea market to add a vintage impression at home.





Add some fancy decoration. To enhance the look of French style in your home, you need a little touch of luxury, such as vintage lights , gold-plated mirrors with traditional design, a coffee table in the middle of the room, or even golden skull accessories. Make sure there is one item in the room that became the center of attention.





Armoire Cabinet French-style cabinets can be considered very cheap when compared with American-made cabinets. The cabinets used by the French are armoires, cabinets that have drawers, shelves, and hangers in them. Add these cabinets in your bedroom to store your clothes or in the bathroom to keep your sheets and towels.






Add a touch of sparkle . French-style interiors rarely look conspicuous, but there is still a slight sparkle of antiques or vintage , such as chandeliers. Sparkling antique lamps make the ceiling look original, as if it had been from Marie Antoinette's time.





Use the bathtub. Famous French people always bathe quickly because they do not like to waste water. However, they love to soak in the bathtub and relax. You can use the porcelain bathtub to add a typical French design style in your bathroom.
