The French have been significant purveyors of style in the world of fashion as well as interior design. And, just as we've incorporated their furnishings into our homes and corsets onto our figures, we've also welcomed les mots français into our vocabulary. Take this quiz to test your French décor vocabulary!

18/10. And I'm not a French teacher, I'm French. And I did'n't even get 10/10.
27/10 not so shabby!!
3Hi Gaellemj,
4Yes, the French spelling is "chaise longue," but "chaise lounge" is a well-established spelling in America, and can be found in dictionaries. But, as this is a French vocab quiz, I suppose I should give both spellings! Thanks!
6/10 and i dont know any French. Not too bad.
54/10, I need some work! But I learned a lot
67/10....I thought that I would do better!
7Hey, when did we start getting points for quizzes?!
I got 6/10. Not to bad. My interior design skills are getting rusty. I took lots of classes thinking I was going in that direction. I need to study I guess. Also, I took 3 years of french, and remember a little. If you don't use it, you lose it.
8That is pretty sweet I got 35 points.
I got 7/10. I speak a little
french, so that helped... and hindered at times too. lol.
9That actually wasn't too terrible. I took 3 years of high school French, one semester of college French and I'm majoring in interior design. I only got two wrong. I guess design comes naturally...
108/10... très bien.
11I am a French STUDENT and Interior Designer
125/10, and since I don't study French, I wasn't surprised I didn't do well. Oh well, I got points and learned a lot
13I'm French and I didn't get 10/10. That bureau was confusing.
14I'm French and I didn't get 10/10. That bureau was confusing.
157/10
169/10
17Not too shabby.
10/10 - /flex! That's what all those years of poring over antique catalogs and British Homes and Gardens can do for you!
And yes the "chaise" terminology can be confusing. Growing up in the USA we called it a "chaise lounge" but in Britain it is pronounced "chaise long", and is spelled "chaise longue", and even sometimes "lounge" the USA way, but is spoken like the word "Long".
Fun fun!
