It is easy to introduce touches of the French country style without changing your entire decorating scheme.

Modern English Country Living Room
The overall design was meant to harken to the classic interiors found in the English country house of a century ago–rooms filled with antiques, sculptural furniture pieces, and botanical patterns and prints on the walls. John and Jason reinterpreted the look, however, by introducing some decidedly offbeat pieces, including silver scallop sconces, giraffe print pillows, and a tropical-inspired chandelier.
