A carefully conceived colour palette of charcoal, powdery whites and soft greys keep this stone-built cottage in rural France effortlessly cool. Despite its black and white colour scheme, there’s a warmth to this old stone cottage, thanks to the faded reddish hues of the rustic terracotta that runs throughout the ground floor, the honey coloured timber flooring upstairs, and the areas of exposed stone, both up and down, which provide soft yellow tones.
