Contrasting and complementary colours and patterns typical of the style are used in this space.
“For this home, I chose a colour scheme of lighter colours, however I never like matchy-matchy interiors,” explains Burgmann.
“As long as you choose a colour palette, or theme, I always say have fun, be brave and bold, and don’t be afraid of putting completely different looks right next to each other. As long as it’s a part of a style or theme, it’ll look cohesive and terrific.”
Walls are signature of French provincial style, with elements like wainscoting a key identifier of the style.
Having wainscotting on three quarters of the bathroom wall, in contrast to the shorter wainscotting in the living room and dining room adds interest and character.
Flooring is also important in French provincial interiors, and this image highlights how three different types of floors can work together while still being different.
“Here, I chose a traditional checkerboard floor (two light tiles) for the laundry, and colours that worked with the joinery colour.
“Putting a stark black and white floor here would have been too harsh for the space, I simply toned it down. This though works perfectly with the light French travertine flooring in the bathroom next door, then both pop next to the darker chocolate coloured floor.”
