Character details
In French kitchens you will see a combination of materials, such as aged stone, wooden beams and marble countertops. All the materials mix with each other and in combination with the vintage metal lamp they create a space that looks like a beautiful restaurant taken from the old ones. The French also love very long curtains that literally “lick” the floors and these can add a touch of elegance. Tie them to add even more grace! They also love rich wallpapers, classy colors and large furniture pieces all of which are bold but still a tiny bit understated; a confusing but rewarding design effort.

One of the favorite materials of the French is stone. In most cottages in France you will find houses with a strong element of stone. The French love to use this material indoors and outdoors.

These stones are known as airstone tiles and you can find them here, while the special glue, to stick the stones yourself on the column or anywhere else in your house, you will find it easy enough to undertake yourself. You can use upholstered furniture to easily give style to your bedroom drawer set and add a little paint or some rustic charm by upgrading it to shabby chic. This doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive but can look divine! The simplest way is to paint a wooden piece of furniture in a shade that you like and before it dries well, rub the paint with a sponge.
