French Style in America

French influence in American interior design is everywhere... from the foyer to the bedroom, and everywhere in between. Even the vocabulary of design is saturated with French, my favorite being... chandelier and armoire... don't we all value antiques? Everyone already knows how I feel about toile from my previous post. Americans have always felt more sophisticated and fashionable with what comes out of France. After all Paris is still viewed as the fashion capitol of the world. As America developed it's interior design aesthetic it's no different.... All roads led from France....It's tres chic?
