Unlike the extravagant interiors of a Hollywood-style mansion in Malibu, a French home has a very elegant style. You will always see an element of carelessness, whether it is a wrinkled pashmina or a mirror with worn paint.

Though in contrast to those classic undone moments, elegant French homes also have a touch of whimsy, like dramatically ornate curtains that fall to the floor. An oversized mirror made from doorways and archways with aged carved textures from ancient castles is seen embracing these interiors.

French cabinets are the antique-style cabinet, a freestanding storage piece that has drawers, shelves, and the classic porcelain knobs. Antique doors turned cabinets in deep dark wood tones against an ivory wall, so classic French chic! Add one to your bedroom to store your clothes or to your study for your books.

French interiors are rarely bold, but often have an antique French chandelier that gives the ceiling an old-world elegance.

Many French houses have impressive historic architecture taken from their beautiful cathedrals and historic palaces. Celebrate old traditions with antique scalloped arches and doors with brass finials and accents. The beautiful ornate details of carved wood against the background of white walls give the ancient sculpture an eye-catching character.

Soak and relax in a deep and elegant porcelain tub with antique wall sculptures or a huge arched mirror as a backdrop; stay in the realm of whimsical chalky and subdued greys. Antique white, pale mint, sun-kissed sand, washed linen or gray are the palettes found in abundance in French homes. Add color to art or decorative accents, subtle and quiet beautiful jamavar woven pashmina blankets steal your heart.

Antique white brings a used feel to a room with traditional French decor. In the dining rooms, luscious vanilla softens the hues of the dark dining table at the palace gate. Inspiration goes beyond tradition with reclaimed antique barn doors used as a room divider. Antique washed turquoise vintage chests and consoles made from renewable sources are the subtle pop of color in a calm room.

Hand-woven cotton blankets with paisley prints remind you of summer, yellows and greens, a pleasing variety of colours. Sheer curtains give the room a romantic and airy feel, they are intertwined with solid panels, and the room has a beautiful aura.

Simple, uncomplicated colors work perfectly with intricately hand-detailed, one-of-a-kind, vintage washed palace doors and arches. Old world elegance balanced with contemporary pieces stimulates all five senses, bringing beautiful, vibrant energy into your home.
