In this post I’m sharing 5 tips for achieving success with affordable modern French country design. Many of us simply love French country design, but these days it’s a more modern version.
As an extremely independent 14 year old I was not afraid to walk to the flea market alone, not too far from my cousin’s flat. I would roam the Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen with my francs in hand with glee, picking up tiny trinkets and treasures to bring home. I learned a lot that first summer in France from my fashionable cousins and from my forays to the flea and the Louvre. That love has stayed with me over my many return trips to France and it’s the predominant style that I use in my home.
Flea market finds are only a part and perhaps the finishing pieces to a modern french country design. Today’s modern French country design is generally lighter and not as formal with a relaxed elegance.
Here are a few takeaways and a gorgeous new line that I recently discovered with oodles of pieces of affordable modern French country design!
