French country design is a popular look that won’t be going out of style any time soon, if ever. Its classic and unfussy appeal has lasted through the centuries and inspired many beautiful spaces. There is a comfortable elegance to the French Country look that makes it a great style to incorporate into a home, especially for a family. It is full of character and charm that makes it one of the most recognizable styles.
The versatility of French country can take it in many different directions, from clean and sophisticated to cozy and casual, and can be molded to fit your needs and personal taste. Here are some inspiring spaces that have a French country flair to give you some ideas on how to work with this style.
This French country kitchen is full of natural materials that are a staple of the style, from the rich woods on the flooring, cabinets, and counter tops to that amazing brick ceiling and fireplace.
The sophisticated side of French country is captured here with luxurious textures and classic patterns. You’ll find checkered fabrics and gold frames in a lot of French country design.
Crisp neutrals and antique shapes fill this bedroom with a clean look that is very elegant and very French.
Casual and elegant elements meet in this bedroom to capture both sides of the style. The rough textures such as wood, burlap, and the wall finish bring the casual appeal, while chandelier, headboard, and linens supply the elegance.
The aged soft green walls are a popular look in French country design. Like the previous bedroom, this dining room mixes both the casual (the dining chairs) and the elegant (the chandelier).
This eclectic space brings together many different styles, but has a strong French country influence in the color palette, aged green coffee table, and rich textures.
The French country vibe in this bathroom is subtle, but definitely shows itself in the mirror above the sink and unique chest of drawers.
Little decor is needed when an architectural element like the detailed molding around the doors exists in a space.
Nothing says French country like a gorgeous farm table in the kitchen. Its rustic appeal juxtaposes nicely with the crisp white cabinetry.
In this kitchen, the farm table serves as more than just a dining space: it is also an island and the spot for the sink, turning it into a fabulous focal point.
French country is one of my favorite design styles, mostly for the rich history and character it can bring to a space.
