Modern design and historic details meet in a country house in France that is now home to a young family
With its arched doorways, delicate plasterwork and lofty spaces, this French villa boasts a stately grace and a distinct sense of history. Located in the countryside south of Paris, this three storey house already had beautiful bones that the owners are proud of.
The aim was to furnish it in a way that would be both cosy and functional for a modern family. Home to a young couple and their three children, the owners wanted to preserve as much of its original architectural elements as possible, with a fresh coat of paint in off-white and pastel tones applied to the walls and doors for a contemporary touch. The original layout of the country house was to be retained as well.
