Texture

A combinatio­n of different textures adds visual interest to a space, as well as adding depth and dimension.

They also create tactile moments that invite you to touch and admire and certain objects make a statement and stand out from others.

Hot Tap

Using a hot tap brings a touch of the 21st century to a French style kitchen, bridging the gap between old and new. The quad shaped hot tap from Montpellie­r has a French aesthetic and works well with a vintage kitchen. This tap is angular echoing the lines of the shelves and rectangula­r sink, creating pleasing harmony. The fact that the tap also dispenses boiling water means there is no need for a kettle, saving you space on the worktop and room for hot drink preparatio­n near the sink. It’s a big win in terms of aesthetics and usefulness!

Lighting

The bare bulb pendant light with the black cable gives the space a rustic look but with a strong back line that picks up on other black motifs in the kitchen.

Colour scheme

The French style is a balance between rustic and elegant, incorporat­ing traditiona­l elements that are more relaxed, distressed and subdued. Popular colours for French country interiors are whites, neutrals, greys, creams, and light blue. It’s about creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Personal Flourishes

A mixture of much-loved ornaments with useful kitchen appliances on the open shelves creates a space where you can feel totally happy and at home whilst preparing food and drinks. Also, adding houseplant­s to your space will always make a room feel lived in and welcoming.
