Think little French cottage or farmhouse meets stately manor as this style originated in rural France by people of more modest means.

  • Combine chic European touches with natural comforting materials on furniture. For example, a formal settee with a distressed wood frame upholstered casually in soft linen would fit beautifully in a French provincial décor.
  • Choose soft colors for a truly authentic feel like pale pink, sage green, chocolate brown and soft gray. Paint walls a neutral such as ivory or gray to create a canvas by which to bring in the other muted colors on windows, furnishings and accessories.
  • Bring in rustic elements such as chipped and faded paint, rusted metals and distressed or whitewashed wood.
  • Lay muted or faded lightly colored rugs with floral motifs in one or all rooms.
  • Hang one large ornately etched and beveled mirror or many small ones in the living room, dining room or bedroom.
  • Place armoires with carved detailing and ornate hinges and hardware in the living room or bedroom for extra storage.
  • Use embroidery on draperies, napkins and bed linens for a true French touch.

For those that like more than just a hint of elegant French décor, a popular trend today is to mix in lavish touches such as a crystal chandelier, mirrored finish dresser or rich sumptuous velvets with the more casual style. A French provincial décor is very forgiving, so don’t fret too much over your choices; go with what you love for a décor all your own.
