French Country Decor

french country decor 4French country decor is a luxuriously comfortable design option when looking to update your present living space or moving to a new one. French country decor’s design keys are a slightly shabby or rustic looks interlaced with soft, plush linen furniture and pillows. White or soft soft pale color choices and natural wood finished combines to make a French country decor space fresh and beautiful, and always welcoming.

For do it yourself people, sand off or remove old paint from doors or window frames and refinish with a soft white wash, leaving an unfinished or shabby look. Dried hydrangea flowers in white vases or pitchers add a nice touch. Not crazy about dried flowers (like me)? Opt for real looking silk flowers from local art and craft supply stores. Baskets and pillows in soft pale shades complete the French country decor set perfectly. (see below)

Country Kitchen Design

My love for the country style kitchen knows no bounds…Unique ideas for creating a comfy, welcoming country space can be found all over.  Implementing a few creative decor features can change up a dull kitchen and bring it to life.  Keeping it simple, as always, is key.  Using fresh pale colors, like this House of Turquoise country kitchen, makes this space feel clean and at ease all the time.
