A pair of French doors leads into the grand entryway. Here you’ll find light neutral floors, a stunning staircase, a blue rug, and some delicate decorations in blue, black, and gold hues.

Thanks to the layout of the home, we can also see peek through an impressive gallery wall in the second floor foyer.
The chandelier adorns both spaces, tying the spaces together.

The elegant and welcoming living room has a distinctly French country character. A creamy rug serves as a neutral backdrop for a mix of patterns and colors.

Two accent lounge chairs in a striped navy blue fabric complement the crisp white sofas. Floral throw pillows, yellow details, and a mix of light and dark wood elements add contrast to the space.

Metallic accents, like the chandelier, mirror, and high-gloss countertops, help to reflect light, creating a luminous space.
