Rustic French Country Decorating

Rustic French country interiors are at once sophisticated and rustic, elegant and eclectic. When choosing rustic French country furnishings, you'll quickly discover that almost anything goes. The look is a beautifully versatile one, as appealing in contemporary interiors as it is in more traditional settings. Because the rustic French country look and similar ones allow for dressing up or down, they have been popular for decades. With just a little inspiration and a few key pieces, you can easily transform your space, creating a rustic, French country inspired retreat all your own.

The rustic French country look can be wonderfully edgy, with just the right amount of sophisticated flair. Pair luxurious upholstered pieces with French-inspired mirrors, a table made with reclaimed plank wood, and botanical accents to create a warm, inviting space.

An eclectic mix of rustic French dining chairs, a sisal rug, and a casually draped tablecloth provides the traditional French country dining room with an effortless looking update. Though your surroundings may not be rustic in the classic sense, this clean, uncomplicated style is a good fit for most interiors.
Vintage-inspired chairs add welcoming warmth.
Distressed pieces are key to creating the rustic French country look. Just one or two will do; strategically placed and paired with weathered wood, botanicals, wicker, or baskets, they offer timeworn appeal while offering visual interest and textural presence.

Just as rustic French country furnishings can impart a feeling of casual comfort, they can work wonders in a more formal setting. An elegant mantel and gilded wall art add a forma element, while an aged iron chandelier, weathered cane back chairs, and a rustic farmhouse table provide a feeling of timeless comfort.

Rustic French country is all about using your favorite style. Take your penchant for chippy, weathered furnishings and toss in a touch of glamour, such as a fabulous crystal chandelier that presides over the entire setting in a wholly splendid way. The look is relevant, personal, and unique. Some pieces may be new, some may be antiques, and some may simply take their inspiration from vintage furnishings. Bring the outside in, avoid matchy-matchy furniture sets, and layer colors, textures, patterns, and finishes. By following these three simple tips, you can easily create a rustic French country hideaway that's all your own.
