Five Ways to Bring French Country into Your Home
French country interior decor is one of the most popular decorating styles. Other than the obvious elegance it brings, there are other factors that make this design a popular choice. For one thing, it can be a very cost-friendly option, as it need not be expensive or difficult. You can easily and affordably create a romantic French countryside environment in your home by using a little creativity and an assortment of readily available French home accessories.
If you are considering a French countryside decorating style in your home, here are a few tips you can follow:
- One of the primary characteristics of French rural decor is the color. Find colors that make you think of sunlit meadows in full bloom with wildflowers, such as soft green, sunshine yellow, light blue, gold, red, and pink. You can even include floral designs in your room for a direct tie to that vision.
- Age your metal furniture by spraying a rust treatment on it. You can also create a perfect French countryside look by hanging an iron chandelier in your dining room, using iron towel racks in the bathroom, and using iron planters around the house.
- Use fabrics that are traditional French country, such as Toile. This classic fabric usually has a white or beige background that is adorned with repeating pictures that tell a story about historic events, mythical scenes, or the lifestyles of particular social classes.
- Tall wooden storage items or armoires are also very commonly used in French country designs. They can be attractive and efficient storage solutions that can help the room look and feel less cluttered. You can add vases with delicately arranged flowers on top of an armoire to add small beautiful detailing that ties in with the countryside theme.
- Add some accessories to complete the look. Accessorize by stacking old suitcases of different sizes on the floor or using white ceramic photo frames on your tables. You can also add a desk lamp with fringe placed around the bottom edge of the lampshade.
