This townhouse channels the inimitable cool-casual look of French cottage style
Consider this collection your je ne sais quoi.
What makes French style so quintessentially, well, French? It’s the laissez-faire approach—effortlessly chic, on trend without trying too hard and sophisticated yet never stuffy. Inspired by the country’s fleas and flower markets, this new-for-spring collection is all about that balance.
Sometimes the most elegant touches are the lowest lift. Stacks of vintage books and art mags become towering sculptures next to grand-scale floor vases. Art hung a bit off-center feels perfectly imperfect and pops against light wood and rattan furniture.

While soaring moldings and folding wooden shutters typically play signature backdrop to Parisian apartments, this collection brings the City of Lights to you, wherever you are. Get the look by layering modern touches with vintage finds and mixing prints and patterns, like soft pastel stripes paired with delicate florals of varying scales.
A little attention to color palette goes a long way when living la vie française. Soft blues, pinks and corals pop against natural wood finishes and deep sage, which functions more like a neutral.
When it comes to layering linens, embrace the imperfection. (Read: No ironing necessary!)
