Interior styles

I had somebody the other day asking me about French country-style with dark furniture. The elegant dark classic furniture from France is stunning, and the country-style amongst all the other interior-styles that come from France can be very exciting as well as challenging for many.

But by no means does it have to be expensive to decorate your home in the French country-style, if you already have inherited some classic mahogany pieces. Your furniture does not necessarliy have to come from the early French period but with a combination of your dark furniture, simple pale walls, some gold accents and some luxurious curtains and pillows, you’re well on the way for an elegant French country-style in your living room.

This picture above has many different pieces of furniture in the one room but because of the simple painted walls and no curtains (hopefully no peeping toms in the neighbourhood) all the other pieces come into their own right. Fabulous! And that sofa, don’t you just want to sit in it! Anyway a good start is by looking at the floors, walls and windows and look for some colours her to set you in the right direction for a French country-style colour in your living room. Good luck:-)

Have a happy and busy weekend.

Have you just bought a new apartment or new house and looking to call it your own? I find alot of the newly built apartments and houses interiors’ look pretty much the same these day’s. All the walls are painted with the same light colour, the same tiles in the bathroom, and the same pine or eik on the floor. Help! Where do we begin to make it look like our own place. It’s ok, maybe, to just throw in all the old furniture from our ‘last place’ in to the new place but still things just don’t feel right.  More often than not, many rush out to buy that new fabulous sofa, or that new awesome cool lamp they spotted in the local design store. Still not right? No because when that new fabulous sofa arrives it’s too oversized to the rest of the room! Or when that spectacular lamp is finally hung up it doesn’t fit in with the rest of the apartment.  Oomph! Do you recognize the situation?  A little guidance is needed.  With Nett-based interior help we can draw in the measurements of the apartment or house and then find the right furniture and solutions for the difficult areas.  We can put forward the best textiles and recommend wall colours that work in the whole interior and harmonize together to create your own space!

Here is a styling project done by hand a while ago. Even though all is done fast and in 3d-graphic now I still think you can’t beat the old fashion way.

Have a fabulous day everyone:-)
