Founded in the Provence region of southeastern France, French Country decor is first of all colorful, with sunny yellow, golds, terracotta red, lavender, bright and dark greens and of course, French blue. 
The chandelier that hangs over the table is a rustic yet elegant iron, and there is a beautifully colorful area rug under the dining set to highlight the dining area.
