Home Cottage Styles French

French

“I think my own personal style is a bit of French design [and] a little bit of English, but I just love that overly collected, curated, layered space that looks lived in and comfortable,” Paige says.

This Southern Home Puts a Unique Spin on Classic European Charm

A shining example of Anthony’s ability to both update and honor the property’s past, the original wallpaper that was uncovered in the revamp was the inspiration for the overall design. “When we were renovating, we saw a little bit peeping through,” Anthony says, noting that, as they continued to uncover it, they realized it was in better shape than expected. For the areas that couldn’t be saved, he used a Venetian plaster to create a patchwork effect, and a layer of beige paper was left in spots as well, creating what Anthony describes as a “soulful backdrop that feels really unique.”

From vintage china to artwork, the homeowners’ storied treasures add prominently displayed character and contribute to a nuanced French vibe throughout this kitchen redesign. “Our clients really helped make this space feel so unique,” says interior designer Kasey Bedford of Winsome Interior Design. “They brought so many special collected items with them that really guided our creativity through the design process.”
