French Provincial
Combine ornate furnishings with fine linens & gentle tones framed with an overload of ornate, decorative timber mouldings to create the perfect oh la la interior.
The French Provincial style is admired for its symmetrical design, classic proportions, and decorative elements, it is commonly associated with the reigns of England’s King Georges, I through to III and remains a prevalent influence in many Australian homes.
Characterised by ornate, fanciful and decorative interior styling using rich, sun-drenched Mediterranean hues through to softer muted shades. Often, one colour or fabric is used in each space throughout the home. Furniture is royal in style and typically antiques and heirlooms. Dramatic layers of fabrics are used on windows and fresh or dried flowers are feature ornaments.
Timber mouldings are an extensive feature in French style homes. Very ornate and decoratively detailed mouldings are showcased around fireplaces, on walls and as beautiful cornice and skirting boards.
