Very Cheap (NICE) French Furniture?

i am 15 and have been in the same bedroom since i was eight and i really don't like it, long story short, it is getting unpleasant to be in (not trying to sound selfish, but i promise, if you were in there too, you would be happy to leave!) Although it is not that it is dirty it is very childish and, just not very nice! anyway i have seen this beautiful bedroom sets from Newtons Furniture. They are french (the furniture) and i adore the style.
i especially love:
The antoinette collection

http://newtonsfurniture.co.uk/shop-cat-11-antoinette-parisienne-cream

and the Rococo collection

http://newtonsfurniture.co.uk/shop-cat-21-rococo-french-white

the problem is, is that they are rather expensive, and i would have to pay for it. So what i am asking is if anyone knows if there are any cheap french furniture stores. i like newtons because everything matches so i would want everything to match. In my bedroom i would have;
A double bed
A bedside table
A nightstand/small chest of drawers
A armchair
A dressing table (i am alowed all of these things, and my parents would prefer to have these in my room, so i need some of them)
Newtons has all of that in a set, but i don't want to pay that it's like £1500 :S
I can't go to any auction houses, and the problem with antiques is that the chances of you finding another piece of furniture with matches is pretty slim, and anyway antiques are EXPENSIVE! So if you know any very cheap french furniture stores then please tell me Also a lot of these french furniture stores have the same beds (like exactly the same) i'm just wondering where they get them from... somebody must be selling them all to everyone.
anyway thanks in advance to answers xx

Ling answers:

This is the problem there is no such thing as cheap french furniture, your right it is soooooo expensive! You have a few options

have a look on ebay for some bargins

go to antique stores and find furniture that is the shape you like, then sand it and paint it french cream/grey/white yourself

Settle for ikea they have the odd piece of white furniture that when, acsessorized properly can look really good , try the hemnes collection or the kivby drawers.

Maisons du monde has some gorgeous which is still a bit expensive but by far the cheapest iv seen! - they deliver to most countries

good luck!

Mark asks…

Are antiqued nailheads too rustic or can they be on furniture in french country decor?

Here's the furniture piece I just purchased and realized the nailheads are on the top:

Ling answers:

I don't understand why you are concerned. French country is supposed to be rustic. Perhaps you pictured French country as manor house rather than farm house. However, French country includes the linear and plain as well as the curved and ornamented. French furniture was handcrafted locally until the industrial revolution, and there is wide variation in style.
