Rule the Roost

French country style, with its rustic, warm look, is the inspiration for Motif Design’s latest collection, Souleiado II.

Reminiscent of the Provence region in France, the rooster is classically French country design. The wallcovering presents a version of the rooster in a traditional woodblock print.

The wallcovering stands alone for its color appears intense, yet sun-drenched, which is emblematic of French country style.

The Souleiado II collection is available throughout the county at wallcovering stores, design centers or the Souleiado boutique in Los Angeles, 11969 San Vincente Blvd.
