Inspired by French Style

Master the art of creating sleek, elegant and chic French interiors with renowned author and designer Carolyn Westbrook.



‘French Inspired’ is Carolyn’s signature decorating style. Her stunning house in Texas, a sleek urban apartment and a classically elegant town house showcase a variety of interiors that will leave you enamoured with all that is French. Whether adding a distressed and gilded mirror or a faded rug that exudes rustic charm, her ideas are quintessentially French in their inspiration and execution. Taking cues from her childhood in the US, Carolyn infuses her earliest memories into everything she styles. From the chic elegance of New Orleans to the homey romance of a traditional farmhouse, Carolyn always creates a truly French-inspired interior. Priding herself on her classic and timeless interiors rather than reflecting the latest trends, she hopes they will spark a true romance with your own home. The French have perfected the art of this time-worn yet sophisticated style of living, and you too will fall in love with the colours, the textures and the inspiration of the French style. First Published in 2010, this is a new edition.
