Farewell My Queen Set Design
Farewell, My Queen Inspires Us to Say Hello to Louis XV Decor
Farewell, My Queen hits theaters today, and while we're curious to delve into the love story between Marie Antoinette and one of her readers, we're just as anxious to catch another glimpse of Versailles in its final days. We're reimagining the splendor of gilded accents, shimmering chandeliers, luxurious fabrics, and grand palace facades for modern homes. So, whether your taste leans more toward Louis XV or French country, we have contemporary options for both.
While capturing the grandeur of a palace facade can be daunting, you can easily spruce up your entry with classic French touches.
This pretty Petite Diego Classical French Lantern ($735) will bring the gardens of Versailles to your front porch.
To round out the look, try flanking your door with these White Urn Planters and Pedestals ($275-$325).
Palace life was painted with gold and pastel palettes.
These Cartell Louis Ghost Chairs ($328) are a great way to experiment with pastel color schemes in a contemporary way.
We love the look of beautiful French fabrics, but heavy drapery can easily date a room.
Instead, try this Delphine Organic Duvet Cover and Sham ($30-$130). Pomegranate and flower details layered over title motifs capture the essence of French textile design but can be paired with cleaner roman blinds.
The velvet upholstery and exposed frame on this Deconstructed French Victorian Chaise ($1,995) put a timeless spin on French country. We'd use it as a seat in a boudoir.
Whether used in fashion or the home, striped linens have a classic French country feel.
We like the idea of choosing a modern interpretation of striped upholstery for a traditional frame, like this Louisa Settee ($2,498).
Nothing channels Versailles glamour like large crystal chandeliers.
For a modern and slightly more casual twist on this look, try something like this Chandelier Pendant ($479).
Kitchens may not have been a place for royals, but traditional French furniture can be quite elegant in contemporary kitchens.
This Villefranche Mahogany Dresser ($1,399) would be perfect for stashing linens or silverware.
