Parisian style has a distinct look: think antique touches, neutral tones and just the right amount of old-world elegance. Recreating it at home usually comes with a hefty price tag—but it doesn’t have to. On a recent visit to Dollar Tree, I spotted plenty of finds that capture that same European charm, from wallpaper to ribbons, and all for under $2. Here’s how to get the look for less.
What is Parisian style decor?
A mix of old-world European history and modern luxury, this style is meant to emulate the beautiful interior of traditional Paris apartments. Antiques and neutral colors help make the space feel comfortable and lived in, while elegant contemporary pieces make you feel like you’ve walked into a high-end art gallery.
The best part about this style? It’s more than fine—and even encouraged—to mix old and new! Paris homes usually look like they have been styled throughout several decades, which means you have the freedom to combine modern minimalist decor with historic charm.
The best Dollar Tree finds for Parisian style
Wallpaper
Dollar Tree’s $1.25 peel-and-stick wallpaper is an affordable way to transform your space. The neutral, marble-inspired design fits the Parisian style beautifully and can be used on everything from bookshelves to walls and even tabletops for instant glam.
Welcome mat
Haussmann-style apartments in Paris are known for having a grand entrance, often with wrought-iron gates. This $1.50 welcome mat captures that same vibe thanks to the elaborate filigree border and formal design. Plus, the bold black and gold colors suggest a sense of upscale charm you’d find in an affluent European residence.
Flowers
Add a touch of femininity to any room with $1.25 artificial peonies and white roses. Flowers are an integral part of this style, but it’s best to choose blooms that are soft pastels and ideally monochromatic, like peonies, which are commonly found in Paris markets.
Ribbon
Wander down Dollar Tree’s craft aisle for $1.75 ribbon! Many French luxury boutiques feature ribbon detailing, and you can do the same by using ribbon in a subtle way, such as tying it around a vase. To be as authentic as possible, stick to color combos like navy and white, white and gold and pink and silver.
Shelf liner
Inspired by Toile de Jouy floral wallpaper, this chic $1.25 price shelf liner is an absolute steal. French homes have long been using this gorgeous pattern, and now you can add it to yours! The black and white neutral design means the liner will pair perfectly with both antique and modern touches.
Frame
Your memories will truly shine when you display them in one of these $1.25 price gold frames. The gleaming hue is reminiscent of the decor style’s gilded brass finishes, but at a fraction of the price. Plus, the ridged molding gives it a classic look.
Candles
Taper candles are a staple of many European styles—and Parisian decor is no exception! The pieces convey timeless elegance and can be used for both mood lighting and everyday ambience when displayed in a picturesque candle holder. Though both candle colors can’t be beat, the ivory pair ($1.25) is a standout choice as it feels more antique.
While this style may feel luxurious, you don’t have to shell out to enjoy the same beautiful interior. Dollar Tree’s budget-friendly pieces make it easy to get the look for less!
