  Florence de Dampierre's French Chic Living

Florence de Dampierre's French Chic Living

 
French houses just seem to ooze with charm—and their inhabitants, despite busy schedules, regularly entertain at home; something that I have long found most inspiring.
So, needless to say, I was super excited when I found out that my friend Florence de Dampierre was writing newest book French Chic Living (Rizzoli).
An esteemed interior designer and antiques expert, Florence is the author of several books including French Chic and Walls: The Best of Decorative Treatments. For most of her adult life the French-born de Dampierre has been sharing the secrets of French chic with close friends and clients; now, lucky for us, it’s all in one wonderful tome.
Florence is a natural to tackle this subject. Having had the privilege of being a guest at one of her signature poolside lunches (with ingredients fresh from the garden), it is both a chic and casual affair—always fun and very relaxing.
Packed with time-tested advice and conventional Gallic wisdom, French Chic Living offers suggestions for everything from setting up the bar and brewing the perfect cup of tea, to selecting a variety of cheeses for the well-balanced platter.
There are tips for polishing silver and repairing chipped porcelain, as well as simple concoctions for making your own all-natural beauty products and home remedies. From stocking the pantry, to washing and storing delicate linens to cleaning wooden and stone surfaces, this inventive hybrid (think “Heloise Helpful Hints” meets “Parisian Chic”) shares foolproof tips for creating a warm, well running and inviting home.

2016 Interior Design Ideas on a Budget



Interior design can be a hobby or a necessity depending on the space you are given to work with. The best part is that even if you're working with virtually nothing you can spice up your surroundings without breaking the bank. Nothing feels better than lounging in a room that has been freshened up with personal touches. Small changes can make the biggest difference so always be on the lookout for minor modifications that suit your budget!
Ever Versatile Molding
Molding can be bought on the cheap and can be used for an amazing variety of purposes. They can add vertical dimension to a room or make it look wider depending on the usage and colors. Molding can always be painted and bought with a variety of bevels and designs lending to the versatility of the material. It can even be used to clean up the edges of old furniture or add depth to a flat panel door.


 
Assign Double Duty
 The more purpose each piece of furniture serves the less of it you need. Ottomans are often designed as hidden storage compartments which can eliminate clutter while still serving a comfortable purpose. Different items, like tables and shelving units, can be moved from room to room for last minute multi-purpose redecorating.



Repurposed Rugs
 Local carpet stores often have scraps that they will give you for little to no cost. Check out the selection to find high-quality sections of flooring that may require absolutely no treatment to turn into an amazing area rug. Combining several smaller scraps can create a different look, and edging can easily be applied for a more customized integration with existing interior design. Rugs really do tie a room together if utilized properly. Changing the flooring in a simple way like this can change the entire vibe of a room.
Tackle the Lighting
Lighting seems to have the biggest impact on the emotional aspects of a room. By changing the position, direction, and number of lights it's possible to reinvent the ambiance of the space at will. Changing from direct light to soft and diffused light can make a world of difference without investing in much more than a new lampshade. Lighting fixtures offer such a range of options that you will literally never run out of ways to change your home's atmosphere.

 

Consider Paint
 Painting is one of the most low-cost ways to change the visual situation of a room. From small pieces of furniture to entire walls, color or the lack thereof can play an important role in how the entire room is perceived. Contact your local hardware store about painting unusual surfaces and you may have a whole new realm of design at your disposal. This is the cheapest, easiest, and quickest pick-up for any room or space.
There is nothing a DIY interior design fan can't do with a little elbow grease and a few good ideas. Your home is your canvas, and it's important to remember that even small changes can make a huge impact. Get creative: almost anything can be undone so don't let an unsuccessful trial get you down. Interior design isn't just for the professionals--anybody has the ability to create a personal reflection through home and surroundings even on a budget.
