Thinking about the French mood, one cannot but drool about the exotic lifestyle associated with the culture spanning from sparkling wine to perfume and décor to remember. If you are an ardent lover of the country style with a French touch, you have lots of pick up from. It is very easy to turn a room in your house into a French style room.

Go Natural

Simply accent the room with vine patterns as the country look brings in the patterns found in the landscapes of the region. The vine patterns replicate the beautiful vines in the area. In some country kitchens, vines can be made as subtle wall patterns too.

You can achieve this look by using a light color for the base of the wall, then using a stencil to create the vine pattern in a slightly darker shade of the same color. In any room, bringing in actual vine plants as decorative additions adds to the overall natural look.

Flora&Fauna
Try to bring the flowers of the outdoors inside your room. In addition to vines, French country decorating also focuses on blooming flowers. This can be used in the form of patterns on sofa fabrics as well as coloring the room with actual potted flowers.

Lavender flowers make a wonderful addition to French country decorating. Flowering herbs also bring in a rich variety of the French country style.

Colors Count

Try to use earth colors. Sunflower yellow, lavender, and deep reds are favorite colors used in French country decorating. Olive and grassy greens, browns, and soft sky blues also accentuate the country style, especially when used in fabrics. Pillows, blankets, and curtains get highlighted in these rich natural colors.

Wall Of A Time

Create interesting texture on the walls. Plaster and stucco are indicative of French country decorating. These materials give style and texture to the interior of your room. They bring in the natural, rustic look of the French country and show off a touch of the simplicity of the style. Any natural materials you can use will only accentuate the French country decorating look of your room.

Wood Touch

Talking about natural materials, French furniture in the room has to be wooden for an authentic French feeling.

French country decorating uses a lot of wooden furniture in its natural colors. This furniture style can range from natural wooden planks to carved wooden pieces, depending on the French country style you choose. The French style uses more simplistic furniture while the chateau style may have more expensive and exclusive looking pieces.

Iron Look

If you want to add a touch of elegance to your French country room, use a few pieces of iron decorations. This can be in the form of curtains rods, chandelier or a few candleholders in your bedroom.

To add drama to the room, put tissue curtains to complement the iron rods. The softer and yet elegant look can be achieved with an iron rod and tissue curtains combination. Iron plant holders attached to the wall also add a wonderful touch to your room.

The French country living space is all about juxtaposing drama and simplicity. Go ahead and get the French style right into your home.
