DISCOVER THE HALLMARKS OF FRENCH STYLE TO BRING A LITTLE JE NE SAIS QUOI TO YOUR INTERIORS

- KAYLA WRATTEN

french FLAIR

Elegant. Effortless. Eclectic. French interior design blends the understated beauty of Paris with the rustic charm of Provence, through the telltale design features of parquetry flooring, antique decor, exposed timber, and neutral hues. The timeless style of French interiors is a lesson in unfussy sophistication – and it’s a look that can work so well in Australian homes. “French style can be theatrical, while also showing restraint. I love the playful sophistication, combining bold shapes with a controlled use of pattern and colour,” says interior designer Justin Bishop, who designed this Melbourne home (seen throughout). For a heady dose of Gallic inspiration and expert tips, flick through these striking interiors and fall head over heels in l’amour.

Perfect parquetry

To harness French provincial style, natural wood parquetry flooring is non-negotiable. “Parquetry flooring is a design classic. It gives texture in a subtle way and has a very high-end look,” says interior designer Annie Bowen. “Keep the colour palette very simple with white walls and contemporary or classic style furniture; the parquetry then becomes the hero.” Whether you opt for herringbone, chevron or Chantilly patterns, timber parquetry flooring boasts a gorgeous geometric design and can be restored and refinished over and over again, lending every room an authentic sensibility.
