Do serene, tone on tone, Scandi-style romantic and decidedly spare interiors pull at your heartstrings? PREPARE for LOVELYLAND. French Nordic Living Decor: Creatives to Discover on Instagram inspires with fresh and simple #frenchnordicliving. Admiration for: vintage treasures, romance, and a white palette is a common thread.

French Nordic Living Decorators to Discover on Instagram

1. Villa Jenal

The beauty of an aesthetic like Nordic French is that we can create it wherever we call home. This mom of five in Thurgau, Switzerland certainly knows her way around romantic decor…can you imagine a garden with this perch below?

I so love to study white on white compositions like this hall outfitted with shallow storage and a mirror I’d love to snatch!

What is it that makes my heart skip a beat at the sight of #frenchnordicliving interiors like this one below?

There’s no modern art to render the space more edgy. And just enough contrast. Tons of texture and lovely geometric voodoo work their magic. And then there’s the ORDER of those collected tureens!

Life beyond home is complicated and chaotic enough. Why not welcome a truly serene tureen dream?

3. La Maison Blanche

This talented stylist (and mother to five!) pursues the beauty of imperfection as a seller of brocante and refurbished furniture. She hopes to move to France someday soon, and I can only imagine the enchanting nest she will make.

So much soulful simplicity and “undone” rustic Nordic French style makes me smile and reminds me of everyday magic that exists in the mundane.

    Most of our home is tone on tone/white on white too. This is the kind of post that makes my heart sing! The rooms you’ve shown are as close to perfection as I can imagine.

    This post is definitely one to bookmark so as to easily find it often. 🙂

    I’m a first-time reader of your post, downsizing into an RV & updating it. You’ve just shown me the style I’ve been trying to find! Thanks! Love your work.

      YES. Living in fear waiting for the other shoe to drop or for the sky to fall is one way to live…and thank the Lord it is not the only way. Healthy mindsets shape our lens and how we look out into the world has consequences. Why not become a permeable, willing, open receptacle of wonder and wonderful-ness?

    Soothing post to read and pictures to admire! The one w/ the lovely tureens reminds me why I love my shiplap SO much. It adds texture & interest even if nothing or barely anything is hanging on the walls! I came across a horse that looked just like the one in your post…same size too. I thought it was so cool & unique & walked around and around it trying to imagine how I could use it, but ultimately passed on it. Now I kinda wished I hadn’t! Haha! Also, love all the hooks across the wall in that kitchen pic! I’m about to hang some in my side entry way & want to do something similar somewhere in my kitchen…I love that look of useful/beautiful things hanging on the ready and yet also such interest to your decor! Thanks for your endless inspiration, Michele! Enjoyed quick video of your new kitchen…can’t wait for more before & after pics!

      Isn’t that annoying when an inspiring photo reminds us of a treasure we passed up that we should have snagged!?! hahahahaha. Happens way too much to me with all the design I see! Thanks for sharing what especially resonated from this post. I am needing these inspiring interiors more than ever with all of the decisions for the new place. Looking forward to sharing more behind the scenes glimpses soon, but it is not at all easy to do the work AND chronicle it! 🙂
