The combination of different textures, contrasting walls and vintage furniture - we discover beautiful French interiors and adopt their interesting features.
1 Aesthetics Black
France is not afraid of black in the interior, and often use it as one of the basic shades. The secret lies in the choice of matte surfaces that make the space deeper.
A great role is also played by a sufficient amount of natural lighting and bright elements. For example, in this contrast interior with black, beige wooden surfaces were used: a tabletop headset, shelves on the wall, dining table. Also pay attention to the details: for decorating the living room, drunks are used in vases and a set from different dining chairs.
What can be taken?
Do not be afraid to add black color. It is not difficult to lend to light surfaces and get an interesting interior.
2 decor that can be replaced
In French houses and apartments, the decor is constantly updated: they change the compositions on the dinner table, open shelves, in the chest.
What they do in season. In the fall, the apartments are decorated with dried ducts, pumpkins and candles. In winter, a Christmas topic appears, and in spring and summer the emphasis shifts on bouquets of flowers and live plants.
Also on the desire to replace the decor affects the mood of the owners. The decor helps add new emotions or just upgrade the boring interior.
What can be taken?
Try periodically changing decorative compositions. Plan the days when you are going to do this, for example, on the first day of winter or summer. Thus, the interior will constantly bring more joy.
3 Vintage Furniture and Decor
For many French, it is important that the interior contains things with history. Here, almost no one seeks to fill the entire apartment with new clothes with one furniture stand. Therefore, a campaign to the flea market behind the decor or furniture, their restoration and the introduction of the home space is an important part of French traditions.
The hostess of this apartment pays a lot of attention to the search for suitable furniture, it breaks it from the former owners and in the end builds a harmonious and interesting interior.
What can be taken?
Take a look at the flea market in your hometown or try to renovate the old Soviet furniture. Perhaps such things will begin to be transmitted in your family from generation to generation.4 Contrast Wall
An easy way to immediately impress in the interior is to make a contrasting wall opposite to the door. In France, they often use this technique. The gallery is an example of an interior in the Rhone-Alpes region with a saturated wine tint wall. It is perfectly combined with a snow-white plinth and a white wall nearby.
Also pay attention to how light doors, the ceiling and the floor combined with a dark wall visually jump off and pull the room on the first photo.
What can be taken?
It is worth reconsider the template approach to the design of the walls and not be afraid of bright colors. They are able to correct the geometry of space and strengthen the impression of the interior.
5 Abundance of textures
In this house in the city of Lyon demonstrated how to combine various textures. They make the interior deeper and more interesting. Stone arch is adjacent to parquet, wooden window shutters, moldings on walls and textiles.
Housing owners do not even have to look for a large number of accessories. There are enough pairs of interesting lamps and one picture on the wall to give a little individuality space.
What can be taken?
Plan a combination of textures still at the repair stage: select a different wall finish, an unusual flooring for the floor, interesting textiles. It is almost impossible to make a mistake and add too much textures.
