What type of home interior do you envision when you close your eyes?

If you see a colorful, casually graceful, naturally rustic, relaxed and welcoming environment, you've been visualizing French Country decorating!

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.

This color palette is mixed and matched on fabrics, accents and walls, creating a cheerful, friendly and welcoming French County style home. (I feel better already!)

Add to this bright and bold colors accents of black and gray, and you are on your way to creating a beautiful decor.

But there is much more to French County style than color. The rustic charm is enhanced by the natural materials that are selected for floors, walls, furniture and case goods.

You'll find rough plaster walls, natural wood or stone floors, beamed ceilings, iron accents throughout, and, don't be surprised to find a gracefully curved piece of furniture as well to offset the rustic tones of the other materials.

French Country decorating style also presents a casually organized look, with each piece having a place as part of the entire look.

It's not cluttered or thrown together, but a loving blend of old and new, patterns and colors within the French Country palette, iron and wood, rustic and elegant, casual and welcoming.
