SHOP THIS COASTAL FRENCH LOOK:
- Berwick Sofa (customize in Banks Midnight) – rich velvet + navy blue = Coastal French
- Nolan Wingback Chair – all the French extra in utilitarian materials
- Cadiz Floor Lamp – an arc of roping capped with jute shade makes for understated drama
- Evelyn Glass Top Coffee Table – timeless brass and glass
- Jute and Wood Storage Ottoman – all the feels of 19th century French cargo

SIMILAR PIECES I’D CONSIDER:
- Joannes Velvet Rolled Arm Chesterfield – not as expensive, still has the look
- Yardley Sofa – the curve and deep blue is a nod to the French, the lack of frills honors coastal simplicity
- Cane Back Settee – flip the photo’s navy couch and neutral chair for this gorgeous cane/linen couch … pick a navy side chair or two and you’re set!
- Berkshire Chair – like the Nolan above, but in deep blue
- Myra Chair – tailored curves in sumptuous midnight or snow velvet. It’s 50/50 French and Coastal.
- Kipton Slim Arm Oversized Swivel Chair – this more coastal chair would pair well with blue toile curtains to strike a Coastal French balance
- Ebern Designs Arched Floor Lamp – like the Omari (above), without the steep price
