Ashley Furniture: How To Bring French Country Style To Your Home

The French country hints at hillside villages and picturesque landscapes. This feeling of freshness and old-world charm is one that many designers hope to recreate in interior design. Ashley Furniture shows us how to get it done with beautiful interior finishes to achieve the look.

With luxurious textures and hints of floral accents, we’re taking all the inspo from the French that we can get! Whether it’s your bedroom, dining room or living space, we’ve got you covered.

What’s so special about French country?

You might be thinking: Why would I want my home decor to be inspired by the French Countryside? Well, we can think of tons of reasons, but to name just one: The French are all about romantic and elegant touches, contrasted by rustic pieces with bold and distinguishing features. To us, home is a place that feels organic and comforting, while creating a sophisticated yet homey environment. We think the French Country-inspired rooms do just that!

Inspired Dining.

Let’s start with the dining room. Here, a statement table is an anchor in a French style room. However, your choice of accompanying furniture plays an integral part too. A beautiful server can act as the perfect piece! Light brown rustic wood creates a nice contrast with bright white walls and warm lighting accents, a pairing often seen in French Country-inspired spaces. Check out the Realyn Dining Room Server from Ashley Furniture for a real dose of French Country flair!

Living Like The French

Let’s move on to one of our favourite rooms of the house: the livingroom With lots of upholstered furniture and space for area rugs, this is a great place to play up the patterns! Why stick with solids when you can do as the French do and throw in a mix of colours and textures sure to make any space pop! Adding accent chairs is a great way to do this. Check out the Sembler Cobblestone Chair or Corvara Loveseat for an added elegance.

Another way that we’ve found to add French Country texture and warmth to a space is with curtains and area rugs! Window treatments and soft furnishings bring more comfort and personality to every space, and this is no exception! We think warm-toned patterned curtains will really do the trick.

Let’s not forget the bedroom

We actually think bedrooms are one of the best rooms to play up the French inspiration by using dramatic quilted headboards, elegant prints, and even some elements we’ve already touched on (like curtains and rugs)! If you want to bring the French Country into your bedroom, look no further than a beautiful rustic wooden bed set.

As you can see, there are so many ways to tie the essence of the French Country into your home. From beautiful curtains to rustic dining room sets, these accents are sure to make a statement, big or small!
