From classic Regency to ornate Parisian, French furniture is back

With home improvement television shows accounting for more and more broadcasting space across the networks, the message is clear: anyone can improve their house and usually on a shoe string budget. Thankfully, not every house renovation today is carried out on pittance, with the age old art of interior design still very much alive and well. One trend that has been gaining popularity over the last few decades is the resurgence in the demand for French furniture, French lighting and French mirrors.

From antique beds and dressers to vintage frames and reproduced mirrors, chairs, chandeliers and more, there are many companies who import French and French themed furniture, with the internet making it easier to find what you want, and also to find a reputable supplier who can deliver.

The most popular style of French furniture tends to be from the Louis period, as his reign of the country was considered to have a huge impact on the world of design, with antiques made during his monarchy demanding high prices both domestically and overseas. However, with rare and expensive collections like these come imitation pieces and whole styles heavily influenced by them, for example French Canadian furniture; which very much follows on from the many French styles, all of which are centred around superior craftsmanship.
