Creating a French Country Look

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 to the right, the color palette is soft shades of blue and green. In this French country bedroom soft blue and green are chosen for their serene, natural qualities. Robin's egg blue sets the backdrop for the large wood cabinet and the oversized accessories used to fill tall wall space. The blue wall is complimented by a soft sage green on adjacent walls and the area rug. The furniture and accessories are to scale with the 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 decorative accessories, common to French country decor, are ideal for large expansive spaces.

UPDATE YOUR RUSTIC FRENCH COUNTRY KITCHEN WITH THE TEXTURES OF IRON AND COPPER

French Country Kitchen Iron, Ceramics and Copper

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.

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.
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.

Consider red and when decorating a French country kitchen and dining room.
