GOING BELGIAN

I love Belgian style interiors- and to be honest I didnt know it had a name until recently- I just knew I loved it.  So what exactly is Belgian Style?  Nancy Robinson from HomeFurnishings described it as this:

Excerpt taken from HomeFurnishings.com you can read the entire article  HERE

Joni from Cote De Texas (who always knows whats hot in the design world) did a post about it HERE.

Ok! so enough with all the words and definitions- if your like me you want to see pictures!!  so lets see some eye candy!!

Restoration Hardware also has a line of paints that take on the Belgian hue- you can order their paint swatch book HERE
I have used several of their paint colors in my home and in homes of my clients.

So what are your thoughts on the Belgian style?  like it? love it? leave it?

  3. I am Belgian and it's true: this style of interior is very popular here. But we call it 'Rustic Flemish'.

  4. Ooh, love this post! I'm obsessed with neutrals and not because I'm afraid of color, but because I love the calming effect! My friends tease me that my favorite color is taupe. Oh, taupe. But I also love a good gray. I'm WILD, I know.
    Love these pics.

  5. Neat inspiration pics. There's another blogger who has written some about Belgian style in her home, and I loved reading an actual definition of the style here. Loved the Wisteria shots!

    Thank you so much for joining my Weekend Bloggy Reading party (and for linking back-I appreciate that!). Hope you'll stop by Serenity Now again soon. :)
