Creating a French Country Look with Rustic Farmhouse Furniture

The French country look can be rustic or refined. Most residences with neutral walls and flooring can take on charming French accents. In the picture below, the predominate color is soft gold. In this French country breakfast room the furniture and accessories are to scale with the ten foot tall ceilings. Common to today's residential construction are tall ceilings that create large walls. Expansive walls often swallow wall décor and furniture. Large oversized furniture, wall decor and large decorative accessories, common to French country decor, are ideal for large expansive spaces.

French Country Furniture

Hand Painted Furniture

One piece of handpainted furniture can make a bold French country design statement. When paint is applied by a master artisan, paint adds more than color. It alters the very nature of the piece, often evoking another time and another place. Professional and experienced craftsmen acquire the look of French country antiques in hours, not years.
Adding to the appeal of the French country handpainted furniture offered by Accents of Salado is the manufacturer's commitment to producing furniture that is environmentally friendly. Each piece is constructed of 200-300 year-old recycled woods. Another plus is that each piece is hand painted inside and out including the inside of drawers and storage areas.

Artistic designs include bountiful fruit, elaborate medallions, classic scroll and dramatic floral designs as seen in the French country handpainted sideboard picture below.

Since humans first walked the earth thousands of years ago, there has been a need to transport, store and protect food and water. Through archaeology, remnants have been unearthed that have helped shape our understanding of human development. It is no surprise that among these historical relics we find earthenware jugs and vases and copper storage, cooking and carrying vessels which are often cited as examples of human advancement, evolution and sophistication.

Decorative metal urns, oversized platters and rustic copper vessels make a dramatic statement in the old world kitchen. Whether your decorating style is French country, Tuscan, or traditional, the addition of metal urns,a rustic iron hanging pot rack, aged copper wares or decorative iron wall decor can pull a Mediterranean kitchen's design elements together by creating a dramatic focal point.

ORGANICS IN THE RUSTIC KITCHEN
Organics are important decorating elements in the French Country kitchen. Organics add color and texture to the natural rustic look of the kitchen and soften hard surfaces like granite, metal and ceramic. Accessories that soften include natural fabrics like cotton, sisal and burlap. Include faux fruits and vegetables, floral and woven baskets in your list of accessories that will soften hard surfaces and at the same time add French Country color and a variety of natural textures.
French Country Style Color Combinations
French colors are drawn from nature. French decorating colors and themes include vines, grapes, wine and vineyards, hillside flowers, farm and country life and glorious seaside chateaus. Think golden sunflowers, creamy stucco walls in an old French chateau, luscious green and red veggies, a clear turquoise lake or the rich burgundy of aged wine and you have some possibilities for French decorating colors.
Decorating with Red and Yellow in the French Country Style Kitchen and Dining Room

Shades of red are dramatic in the French country home. Pair brilliant red with sunflower gold. Team cranberry red with mustard yellow. Burnt orange and copper are shades of red found in dark wood, granite countertops, copper cookware, leather and iron accessories.

Decorating Intimate Spaces

Add another dimension to interior design by choosing decorating accessories that compliment rustic French country style homes.

If your goal for a luxury bathroom is a warm and cozy ambiance, a bathroom fireplace is the ultimate space heater. A natural stone fireplace compliments a French country style bathroom by casting soft light throughout this intimate space. If a fireplace is not a possibility, romantic candlelight is a close second for washing a bathroom with warmth and romance.

In a French country bathroom, consider rustic earthenware urns. Classic urns date back to the days when water was carried to the bathing area.

Rustic accessories combined with candlelight, set a dreamy, restful and romantic mood. French artwork is a finishing touch often overlooked in bathroom decorating. What could be more restful than viewing a French country landscape that evokes memories of a favorite vacation?

Complete a French country look with natural greenery and luxurious bath towels.
