Enduring Country French Décor

The Ashley Furniture Bolanburg Two-Tone Dining Room Table combines an antiqued white finish with classic Country French details for a comfortable dining room.

Perhaps as a reaction to years of minimalistic interior design, Country French décor is now more popular than ever. Country French is inspired by the romantic Provence area of the French countryside. The name alone conjures up visions of rustic villages and fields of lavender. Country French décor blends traditional elements with the elegance of French design. The style also integrates comfortable accents that make for a welcoming home.

Country French inspired furniture is available from Ashley, the largest furniture manufacturer in the United States. Find discount Ashley Furniture collections online and at showrooms in central New Jersey.

Upholstered Comfort

Step away from the sleek lines and stark look of modern contemporary furnishing. The Country French style seeks to add a graceful feel with curved lines, carved wood and a low sheen finish. Country French chairs differ from rustic designs because of the comfortable upholstered seating. Chairs still provide the sturdy feeling of rustic and Farmhouse furniture with the addition of upholstery on the seat and sometimes the chair back as well.

Bedrooms with Refined Elegance

The Country French bedroom feels comforting and organic with light wood finishes and a timeless relaxed feeling. Create a homemade yet sophisticated environment by choosing matching pieces offset by accent furniture and decorations. Soft color schemes with neutral shades, pastels and sunny yellows enhance the look of a Country French bedroom. Note the traditional patterned rug over natural wood floors.

The two-tone dresser features drawer knob handles in a dark finish to offset the textured light wood veneer. French and English dovetail construction on the drawers and a fully finished interior insure durability and smooth protection for delicates.

Adding to the Country French Look

Vintage elements, patterns and antiques can provide interesting enhancements that add style to a home with a Country French ambiance. Think cotton draperies with gingham, plaid and toile patterns as well as natural materials like stone fireplaces and wood floors. Wrought iron accent tables and chairs along with prints of country scenes also create a Country French look. Use natural or painted wood objects such as roosters or sunflowers and include special touches like sprigs of lavender. Wall hangings and soft cushions and throws are also effective for creating Country French décor.

How to Furnish your Dining Room

With so many dining room collections to choose from, furnishing your dining room from scratch may seem overwhelming. Some people have a sizable space to accommodate a large table with seating for eight or ten, while others have a cozy nook off the kitchen. Whatever your space, you can find the right dining room furniture for family meals and to welcome your guests.

Here are some steps you can take to create an inviting and practical dining room:

Step 1: Choose a Style

Whether you love a formal look or more contemporary styling, the choice is yours when it comes to selecting dining room furniture. You may love the rustic farmhouse style that is trending right now, or dramatic dining room pieces with a flair reminiscent of Old Hollywood in the 1930s. People who live near the ocean often choose a breezy coastal look with light colors and casual styling. Whichever style you choose, make sure it will coordinate with the decor in the rest of your home.

Step 2: Measure your Space

Before you choose your dining room furniture, make sure to measure your space carefully so you pick the right pieces. As a rule of thumb, leave at least three feet of space between chairs and between the chairs and the wall. This is important so that people can get to their seat easily and pull out their chairs without a struggle.

Each person at the table will need around two feet of tabletop space, so keep that in mind when you choose a dining room table. You will also need a table that is proportionate to the dimensions of your dining room, whether it is rectangular, oval or round.

Step 3: Add Finishing Touches

Once you have your basic dining room set, add finishing touches like area rugs, lighting and accent pieces. Keep in mind that you should stick to a color palette to make sure that everything comes together for a beautiful look. Your area rug should extend 2 feet from this sides of the table to accommodate seated guests.

For most tables, an 8 x 10-foot area rug is sufficient. If you choose a chandelier or a series of pendants for lighting, remember that the bottom edge should be around 30 inches above the dining room tabletop if your room has an 8-foot high ceiling. When you choose dining room accent furniture like a buffet or a china cabinet, remember that while the style does not have to match exactly, it should coordinate well.
