Do you dream of walks along the Seine, afternoon strolls through the Musée d'Orsay, and stargazing off Pont Alexandre III? Look no further than Lenny Kravitz's Parisian bedroom. The rockstar's stunning space captures not only the design style, but the romantic energy of the City of Love.

Lenny's gorgeous bedroom idea was formulated by his eponymous design studio to capture his enigmatic personality. It features a crystal chandelier and sconces against panelled walls, and a gilded mirror behind the yellow-clad bed. Like the city of Paris, it is at once glamorous and bohemian, antique and modern, bold and understated.

Thus, the rockstar's bedroom a perfect example of the Parisian Modern design aesthetic. Artem Kropovinsky, NYC-based interior designer at Arsight Studio defines the look stating: 'At the intersection of the classic and the contemporary, we find the elegant yet effortless Parisian Chic style. This aesthetic celebrates the grandeur of historic French design but isn't afraid to mix in modern elements for an understated, sophisticated ambiance.'

He adds: 'It's the delicate dance between the antique and the avant-garde, the rustic and the refined, that infuses spaces with an undeniable charm and character.'

What makes these French interior design rules so appealing? First, it's stylish no matter the year. Artem explains: 'The allure of the Parisian Chic style lies in its ability to cultivate a space that's both timeless and trend-forward. This style allows for the seamless blend of old and new, creating a dialogue between eras. This versatility lets you adapt the aesthetic to your personal tastes and the architectural traits of your space.'

Furthermore, the Paris design trend is full of titillating contradictions. 'This style thrives on unexpected combinations and delightful visual surprises,' says Artem. 'This keeps the eye intrigued, the space dynamic and the conversation going.'

He continues: 'Parisian Chic strikes a perfect balance between the opulent and the minimal, the dramatic and the understated. It's about tempering grand architectural details with simple, comfortable furnishings, or juxtaposing a sleek modern art piece against a backdrop of distressed wood.'

Whether you want to create a Parisian modern look or the Paris Grandma aesthetic is more your thing, an eye on detail is essential for recreating the look. Artem advises: 'Achieving the Parisian Chic look in your own home isn't about replication; it's about capturing the spirit.'

To do this, it's important to embrace contrasts. Artem suggests: 'Don't shy away from pairing a Louis XV armchair with a sleek, modern coffee table. It's this playful contrast that defines Parisian Chic. Distressed finishes, chipped paint, and aged patinas aren't flaws - they're assets. Let them tell a story.'

As for the bedroom color ideas, tread lightly. 'Keep your color palette neutral but play with textures to add depth and warmth,' recommends Artem. 'The subtlety of the hues allows the unique design elements to take center stage.'


Like all good design, Lenny Kravitz's bedroom is not only beautiful, but evocative. It's impossible to feel that the Eiffel Tower is more than a few miles away when you look at it.
