French Country (or Country French) decor is a cousin of shabby chic, but it doesn’t rely on an “old look.” It’s called “French Country” because it sets out to bring the warmth, earthiness, and rich colors of the French farm, garden, and countryside into your home.
CHARM AND COMFORT
French Country is an eclectic style that encourages accessories with substance and character; unique, comfortable, inviting furniture; and old-world elegance. Rustic pottery, farm animals, and stone hearths are all part of the French Country charm.
COLORS
There’s a lot going on in French Country fabrics — plaids, stripes, checks, pastoral scenes — and a wide range of colors with shades of lavender, country green, and sunshine gold or orange. In French Country wall art, you’ll often see a lush garden with vines working their way around arched windows and doors
DECORATING IDEAS
Roosters and sunflowers, grapes and geraniums are traditional ingredients for a Country French atmosphere. But it’s not necessary to buy all these pieces for your shelves, tables and countertops. Simply add Country French to your walls with framed prints and posters from posters.com. Vous l’aimerez !
