Irresistibly Charming French Country Style Interiors
France has long been a great leader and influence in fashion and interior design since the 17th century. So, it’s no wonder the simple gorgeous homes of old rural France have shaped the French country style in interior design, worldwide. Projecting this style from the sunny vineyards of France to your own home translates into elegant and practical chicness.
Ideally, the color hue of such an interior resembles those found in French landscape; Mediterranean blues, brick (terra cotta) reds, and sunny yellows.
Natural and rustic elements are the backbone for this style from limestone flooring and fireplace mantels, wrought iron, weathered furniture and wood.
This post focuses on the architectural stone elements; mainly limestone; that contribute to both the practicality and sophistication of a French country interior.
