I have a great admiration for French home decorating styles. The French just have a way of blending the old with the new; they come out looking so beautiful together, it’s like a match made in heaven! There’s a chair style made popular during the reign of Louis XVI, an era known for its neo-classical design style. I’ve always admired this chair design and would love to have it in my home. A Louis XVI chair is easily recognized because it has fluted leg and an angular shape. Its frame is molded or carved with motifs, such as rosettes, garlands, or wreaths.
I’ve put together some images that will give you an idea why this chair could be an enhancement to your space. It exudes elegance and sophistication, whether its fabric has patterns or a solid color. It’s a gorgeous chair!
In a dining room decorated in a modern style, the chair provides a blue-gray elegance. C’est chic!
