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.
