French Country Living Room Ideas

By Darren Hartley


A French country living room is made up of antique country French furniture, be it true vintage or reproductions, which make a statement. It showcases how to make country French decor work for a 21st century lifestyle, regardless of the look being rooted in antiquity with a tendency to be a bit formal.

A creamy French country living room is the epitome of elegance. The look of a French country living room weaves together the pastoral and the sophisticated, the rustic and the elegant through the play up of a patina of ornate antiques vis-a-vis the simplicity of humble hewn materials.

There is a welcoming attitude behind a light, airy and romantic French country living room. Its European inspired interior can feature linen and velvet chaise, a cozy fireside and splendid outdoor views. Its relaxed neutral palette leaves the interesting antique pieces scattered around to speak for themselves.

Joie de vivre is what a French country living room connotes. Its sun-drenched and spirited interior, comprising of all things French, depicts exuberance for life. To frame a 1930s poster advertisement for a Parisian dance hall star, yards of draped fabric may be placed along the window frames. To cozy up a matelasse sofa, vintage-style pillows may be placed on it.

The hearth and stone of a French country living room are upholstered yellow and cream striped armchairs serving as country classic bookends of a custom limestone mantel. The accommodation of European inspired casement windows and weighty limestone windowsills is handled by castle-keep styled niches.

The earthy simplicity of a French country living room can be gleamed from stones and bricks bringing a natural balance to the more formal heirloom sofa and English chest. Antique pieces are given a new breath of life by an upholsterer stitched canvas drop that cloths directly over the old yellowed fabric of the sofa.
