Tips
French Country style design has emerged from the
scenic villages of the south of France to become one of the most
popular styles of interior design around the world. The look is
casual, inviting and fuss-free. The charm lies in the rustic feel
of the furniture and accessories and the easy, cheerful combination
of colors. French Country interior design can work for anyone,
on any kind of budget. Keep these tips in mind to turn relaxing
in your home into a daily vacation in Provence.
French Country Style Basics: Colors:
Color is important in any interior design plan you
have, and this is especially true of French Country style. The
colors most associated with this style are soft, foamy greens,
bright yellows and golds, rusty red and splashes of blues, pinks
and lavender. These colors create a bright and cheery environment
while allowing the natural rustic wood and rod iron features associated
with French furniture to shine through.
The main elements of Country French design call for a relaxed,
down-to-earth interior style. You can establish a room's rural
motif with rustic floors in wooden planks, stone, or ceramic tiles.
The overall color palette should be focused on colors inspired
by the French countryside's natural features. This includes yellow
golds, rich reds, and verdant greens along with blues and terracotta
tones.
When selecting French inspired home décor, keep things
simple but graceful. Sturdy, large scale wooden furniture is ideal
for this provincial design style. Painted furniture pieces are
also at the top of the list for an appealing French Country decorating
motif. Furniture silhouettes in this style are relatively unadorned,
but they usually feature soft lines which are clean and not too
fussy.
Classic design and whimsical details come together harmoniously
in French inspired home décor. There is something for everyone
to enjoy - from the charming style of the French countryside to
the timeless metropolitan beauty of Paris.
