Designer Betty Lou Phillips, author of fourteen books on French and Italian design, presents her newest collection of work that features magnificent rooms rooted in chic simplicity.
In French Refreshed, readers can immerse themselves in the rich history and lasting appeal of French design while gazing at luxurious details and exquisite craftsmanship. Far removed from the extravagant and stuffy spaces associated with French royalty, Phillips brings together glamour and comfort that can be seen through the book’s beautiful photography and prose.
It is Phillips’ belief that the “more is more” approach to dressing a space no longer works, and her designs prove that French furnishings and accessories can enhance a home while remaining harmonious with daily life. By using attention to detail and balanced proportions, classic French and contemporary styles can be used to create elegant, functional spaces that meet the needs of a modern homeowner.
