A combination of rustic charm, and subtle elegance — this curated collection of furniture and fixtures embodies the aesthetic of a home in the French countryside. The sky-blue colors seen in the wallpaper and tile meet with the light wood textures in the plank flooring and quartz surfaces to evoke a feeling reminiscent of sipping freshly brewed tea on a bright spring day. As evidenced by this kitchen and bath, one can easily brighten up any space in their home by carefully selecting colors in wallpaper, tile, and furniture to change the overall theme of any room.
Wallpaper is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to transition any room into a new style. The featured wallpaper samples from Schumacher bring in all of the prominent elements of the French Country theme. Soft blue in color, each style subtly mimics the light and airy pastels popularized in French fashions during the era of enlightenment. The “Cloud Toile” panel featured in the second board in the color “Mineral” is a personal favorite, as the cloud motif brings a sense of modernity to the traditional style of toile wallcoverings. Since the company’s founding in 1889, Schumacher has been a thriving force in the wallcovering and fabric industry, crafting wallpaper and textiles of the highest quality while paying homage to every era throughout history. With any purchase from Schumacher, one can always rest assured that their products will bring a sophisticated finishing touch to any place it adorns.
Traveling to the second board of this design, the clawfoot tub from Barclay truly sells the historic feel of the room, while the gold-finished feet of the tub subtly flow with the other gold details throughout both the living and the bath space. This tub in particular, is part of Barclay’s custom painted tub selection in the color “Hydro Blue”. Matching seamlessly with the powdery blue color seen throughout both rooms, this is just one example of how this Barclay service can elevate an entire room, by making a mundane plumbing fixture a focal point of elegance.
The final key to achieving this theme rests in the lighting and furnishings. Each of the displayed pieces from the family-owned company “Forty West” echo an antique sense of comfort and refinement which is a pillar of their brand. From the distressed detailing on the opulent chandeliers to the aged details on the baroque furniture, these pieces epitomize country charm and timeless design. Unlike many other lighting and furniture companies, Forty West’s products are crafted with a unique vision in mind at an affordable cost, making them a go-to company for customers seeking a designer look without the designer price point.
