Christophe Decarpentrie is one of our Belgian classical designers. Today I show you some pictures of a house in Belgium, in the neighbourhood of Ghent, of which he designed the interior a few years ago.
The house, in fact it is a little castle, was built at the end of the 18th century in the neoclassical English Regency style. It was totally renovated some years ago.

The entry hall was completely restored. The floor was removed and replaced after restoration!
The antique lacquered screen is in perfect harmony with the black painted Regency chairs at the entrance hall (see picture above).
Detail of the floor.
In the round shaped living room the decorator had chosen for a floordesign that is as an "oversize" design of this in the entrance hall.An antique Dutch cabinet in Empire style.
In the living room all tones of blue and grey. Notice the beautiful curtains! The sofas are all made-to-measure after an antique Napoleon III canapé.
The decorator is not afraid to bring in contemporary elements as this coffee table.
Wallpainting and furniture in blue and grey tones.
