How the French style is created

The French style here is the more classical branch: fuller French elements - door head panels, dado mouldings, carved cornices, column orders - suited to homes with generous ceiling height that want a sense of ceremony.

CMITAL recommends subtracting for this style: build full French elevations only in the living room and master bedroom and let other spaces shift to modern French, so the house is not over-decorated.

FAQ

About this style

My ceiling is only 2.7 m - is that enough?

A simplified version works: drop the door head panels and columns, keep the mullion doors and corner mouldings, and narrow the frame width to 50 mm so the visual height is not compressed.

How do the French and cream styles relate?

The cream style can be understood as French with the ornament removed: curves and warm white kept, carving dropped. The two are often mixed in the same home.
