Designer Jon Jahr has designed a colorful and inviting family room using French-inspired fabrics and antiques. Jahr also likes to mix English and Italian furnishings with the French, as well as adding touches of Chinoiserie (the introduction of Oriental influences into European design). And what's especially charming is that these various European influences provide a wonderful background for the family's treasured collectibles .
French Deco Home
Most of us are familiar with art deco, the streamlined style of the 30's-but French deco? In this segment, the viewers will see show Pamela Volante designed a French deco look for her own home with interesting furnishings and fabrics typical of that period. French deco and American art deco are different, as host Kitty Bartholomew and Volante will visually point out. It's surprising how a look that was popular 60-plus years ago might work wonderfully today!
