MODERN FRENCH
This mixture of two décor styles works wonderfully: The wall and shutters in front of the window take you to the French countryside, but instead of the café-style metal table and chairs that you might expect, there are two modern, round chairs that invite you to curl up in them. The chairs are durable polythene and polypropylene and won t weather outdoors. A deck of light wood is the ideal base for a scene that you can colour in to your heart s content ‒ here done with simple yellow and green cushions and potplants in containers with interesting shapes. The little trees have been cut into perfect pompoms to echo the chairs. 28 IDEAS January/February 2022
