If the recent homes we have visited are anything to go by, French-inspired interiors are fast becoming an a la mode fixture in Singapore homes. It isn’t difficult to guess why - be it admiring the spectacular and sublime scenery, revelling in the vibrant city life, or simply enjoying a romantic stroll along its various beautiful boulevards, France has something to offer everyone.
Likewise, the rich culture of Parisian living instantly sets itself apart too, with grand chandeliers, wainscoting panels and elegant fabric furniture. Trust the French for a classy and timeless way of life, right in your very own home. We suss out some of the best French homes that we have laid our eyes on.

Black and white pictures of French architecture and scenery don the walls of the living room, providing a worthy conversation starter. Style and substance, don’t you think?
