Bringing European Style to French Country Homes
Romantic Mediterranean French Country Style in French Bathroom Decorating
French Country bathrooms and bedrooms can be rustic, sophisticated or luxurious. Create a striking focal point with the look of a centuries-old water feature or by combining an antique buffet with a stylish sink. Enhance French Country décor with rustic wall finishes, arched window styles and stone flooring.
Include accents of iron, marble, tile and even fine art tapestry in your French Country bathroom design and decorating theme. Art compliments bath basics by going beyond attention to functionality. Designers in the bath fixture industry create functional art by studying the use of color and natural shapes. Bath fixture shapes are curved and soft. Fixture design is artistically pleasing to the eye. Art in the bath can take many forms. The artistically designed French Country bathroom is the ideal location for soft secondary lighting, scrolled wrought iron wall decor and sculptured metal urns.

Terra cotta vessels, hand-painted ceramics and glass containers clustered together, are Mediterranean French Country accents that give the bathroom an old world look.
Glass bath cruets add a touch of refinement to the basic necessities of the bath and are perfect for holding bath salts, oils and soaps. Consider a scrolled iron and leather stool in your dressing area and soft, luxurious chenille bedding in your bedroom.
Natural stone, glass, terra cotta, leather and wrought iron accessories have been decorating basics for centuries and are ideal materials for the Mediterranean French Country bedroom and bath. Metal framed mirrors, French Country theme wall tapestry and iron wall art are ideal choices for French Country wall decor.

French Country Style Decorating Colors
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.
A favorite French Country color combination is blue and yellow, but many interior designers think outside the norm and embellish French Country style rooms with a multitude of ideal French color palettes. Consider coral, gold and aqua in your French Country decor. Opt for bright or subdued color combinations. Blue and green are serene in a French bedroom and the shades of this color scheme are endless.

When decorating French Country, consider a combination of red and yellow in your decorating theme.
Yellow can take on many shades, depths and hues in French decorating. Yellow may be buttery, brilliant and even a dark golden mustard. Red may be bright or may be russet in hue, but the combination of red and yellow represents a classic French duo.
Red and yellow wake up a room. Used as accent colors in accessories or as dominant colors in a favorite upholstered chair, red and yellow pump vitality into a room's design. Red and yellow are a traditional French color combination.
