With the arrival of spring, the country home comes back to life. We open the windows, let in the fresh air and soft seasonal light, and rethink the decor to create a setting that is as warm as it is soothing. It's the perfect time to adopt or reaffirm the aesthetic of the flamingo style, which conjugates classic elegance, natural materials and contemporary touches.
In a country house, this style naturally finds its place. It enhances the history of the place without freezing it, and gives it a serene atmosphere, conducive to rest and conviviality. The Flemish style invites a subtle balance between rustic authenticity and sober modernity, perfectly in keeping with the spring season.
Here's how to incorporate this style into every room of a country house, focusing on light, simplicity, softness of materials and discreet charm.

Off-white, ecru, linen, light beige : perfect for illuminating walls or upholstery.
Pearl gray, soft taupe, sand : to be used for painted furniture or accessories.
Sage green, light khaki, grayish blue : for a plant touch in harmony with the exterior.
