Brief Description
The French have a legendary sense of style. French Home explores the elements that combine to create spaces that have an identifiably French feel; showing the architectural details that enhance the framework of each room, the textures and the color palette that flatter various styles of furniture, and exploring the options for lighting, mirrors and paintings. By exploring real homes that deftly synthesize these elements, French Home examines the sophisticated alchemy of a look that can be either lush and complex, or simple and pared-down.
