On a recent trip to France, I had the pleasure of spending a memorable week in Brittany, staying with friends in a beautifully renovated farmhouse. The farmhouse was a striking building made of local stone with an imposing thatched and slate roof, set in large grounds and surrounded by working farms. Being woken by the sound of tractors confirmed its rural location.
My observations to pass on to decorators who would like to capture some elements of French Country Style in their décor were several.
• The colour palette was almost stark. The walls were white, the ground floors grey polished cement and tiles. The upper floor were mixture of honey and dark coloured polished boards.
• It was the dressing up of the walls and the seamless mixture of old scrubbed furniture mixed with modern pieces that brought it all together.
• The beautiful and very French chandelier over the dining room table was a focus of elegance and charm. Sitting down to dine in this room was very special .
How did it all come together?
The natural stonework, the exposed beams, the colour palette, the mixture of new and old furniture, and the gold coloured wall decoration created a feeling of relaxed, sophisticated living.
The white walls and the white bed covers were crisp and fresh while the honey coloured doors and pieces of scrubbed furniture gave the impression of warmth. Because the house was rented, there were minimal pieces of interest on display. However the wall dressings used a clever combination of gold metal plates and gold coloured ornate mirrors to reflect the furniture and activity in the room.
Views from the windows of the ancient hydrangeas growing in the garden and the rolling countryside added an elegant touch. This French Farmhouse style of
Chandelier and gold coloured wall dressings.
