Learn how to master the art of creating sleek, elegant and chic French interiors with Carolyn Westbrook’s The French-Inspired Home.“The French Inspired” has become Carolyn’s own signature style. Her stunning plantation house, a sleek urban apartment and a classically elegant town house showcase a variety of distinct styles that will leave you enamoured with all that is French. Whether she has used a distressed and gilded mirror that oozes elegance, or a faded and frayed rug that exudes rustic charm, her ideas are quintessentially “French” in their inspiration. Taking cues from her time growing up in the US, Carolyn infuses her earliest memories into everything she styles. From the chic elegance of New Orleans to the sweeping romance of southern plantation houses, Carolyn always produces the sense of a truly French-inspired interior.
