French country living rooms can create the feeling of living in a French chateau-inspired space in any home, creating the look with just a few key features.
An essential feature in a French country living room, a well-stocked bar cart should contain your favorite beverages (Veuve Clicquot and San Pellegrino are popular options) along with fresh flowers for an inviting touch. If you're feeling particularly festive, adding Christmas trees or holiday decor may further complete the theme.
French country living rooms feature furniture and decor pieces with more decorative than clean-line designs than simple structural lines, such as cabriole legs on chairs or cabinets, wood carvings, ornate fringes, starburst mirrors/clocks/clocks, traditional fabrics such as toile patterns. Though these elements don't need to be found everywhere within every piece of furniture or decor, they add an element of country elegance into any space.
An essential element in creating a cozy French country living room is using natural materials like warm woods and stone for flooring, walls and countertops. These elements can be combined in various ways to form unique designs; for instance combining marble countertops with wood cabinets for a modern feel or pairing them both together to achieve eclectic styling are two examples of such combinations.
An ideal color scheme for a french country living room typically consists of neutrals or pastel shades such as blue, violet, green, pale yellow or pink. Opt for muted, soft hues that won't overwhelm your space but remember that French people take neutrals seriously so don't be afraid to experiment with bolder shades if something catches your eye!
