European-Inspired Home and Garden Gift Shop Coming To Edgefield
The French Garden Market is a European-inspired garden gift shop offering a curated selection of garden-inspired gifts for the home and garden.
This new shop will be located in a 106-year-old building in the town of Edgefield. Edgefield, South Carolina was able to revitalize this building through the Facade Rehabilitation Grant Program. The program is designed to approve the appearance of historic buildings. With this, they were able to use historic paint colors and appropriate fixtures to still give it the look it had in 1918.
How to give your home that European-inspired look?
When it comes to making your home feel like you are in a Bungalow nestled in Nice, France or a Villa tucked away in Italy – there are a few steps you must achieve.
When thinking of European homes, they are a mix of charm and comfort. To have a home with those characteristics many things have to be chosen carefully- from the colors and materials to the furniture and how it is laid out, the way the lighting is hitting the room, and so much more.
European interior has a lot of natural tones to give off that soft atmosphere. Colors like gray, taupe, and beige are perfect options when creating European like homes.
Go for natural materials to incorporate in the home such as wood and stone. It will continue to help exude warmth and softness.
European homes always have unique fortunate pieces that create a timeless aesthetic. An example is a stylish sofa bed, something that is different and serves more than one purpose.
Lighting can set the mood and tone in any room. When you are setting the atmosphere for a European-style home, consider chandeliers. Chandeliers can bring a bold look with their intricate detailing.
Other lighting that would be appropriate are pendant lights and wall sconces. Installing dimmers with all the lights is a great way to adjust your lighting and atmosphere at any moment.
