Château de Groussay From The Peak Of Chic Blog
When I first saw this picture of the Château de Groussay featured On The Peak Of Chic Blog I thought this room was incredibly dated. I scrolled on forward to Jennifer's endless beautiful pictures, and found myself going back to the photo I just judged so harshly. I found myself mesmerized by the rooms amazing floors!! Stark white is often a color you see in Empire furniture, and it looks absolutely wonderful paired with white based fabrics that have a punch of color. Empire decorating is known for the really vibrant colors, which is often seen in upholstered Empire furniture.
This picture reminds me of the very sought after Biedermeier styled furniture that is based on the lighter woods such as blond woods and birch which were found around the Scandinavian areas. Biedermeier furniture stretched forth from Stockholm, Sweden and and encompassed Germany, Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The floor in this photo would be absolutely stunning if it was combined with the lighter colored Biedermeier furniture. The floor combines the perfect combination of wood, and painted features that look much like the geometrical pattern that we so commonly find in Empire decorating.

Now if you look at this picture and the picture above of the Château de Groussay, you will see, they are almost identical. The grid of the white and black is much larger in the Château de Groussay compared to the pattern in this picture that was featured in Elle Decor. Both floors are amazing, but if I were to choose, I do think the added detail of the natural wood really adds to the overall look, and the overall width of the box pattern looks better larger.
