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.

french country decor 2The reuse of old shutters, doors and window frames are key design options for French country decor. 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)

Bucks County Homes – Chic French Style

french linen and mirrorBucks County Homes – Chic French Style. Discover the French aesthetic for your new living space by using these creative ideas to bring a chic, romantic style to your Bucks County Homes.

One key to French style decor in your Bucks County Apartments or Bucks County Homes is to incorporate an element of being un-done. A lovely French room rarely looks finished, is a bit tossed and lived in, looks a bit shabby – yet chic. Wrinkled linen pillows and chipped vintage framed mirrors or artworks are nice touches for  Bucks County Homes living rooms.
