Emulate romantic French country style

Be inspired by the beautiful landscape of Provence.

Choose natural tones for romantic elegance

If you love the simple elegance of French interiors, why not emulate the beautiful colour palette of Provence with its fragrant lavender fields and endless blue skies.

Here, the natural honey colours of the shutters, flagstone floor and terracotta tiles are echoed in the main wall colour, which has a hint of apricot. You’ll find that these warm hues pair beautifully with the soft violets and misty lilacs found in the Provence landscape.

Use small touches of colour to create interest

To create a subtle yet striking feature, why not take inspiration from this beautiful space and frame one of your doorways in a soft hue? Here, chalky lavender has been used to create a lovely feature that draws the eye through to the room beyond.

To enhance the romantic ambience, add classic French provincial furniture, such as elegant mirrors and ornate candlesticks.
