Bright sunshine and fields of lavender no doubt make you think of a French Countryside. The idea of decorating your home in a French Country Décor will result in comfort and old world welcome.

Colors for French Country décor are many, and cover the full spectrum of the color wheel. Yellow, red, burnt rust, bright green, soft ocean tones, and many more are found in French Country homes.

Whether you live in a rural area, or in one of the biggest metropolis’, country home décor is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to decorate or redecorate a home. Peaceful, serene, family oriented, are just a few ways to describe the feelings from a home decorated in country colors and schemes.

Colors vary in shades, but two very prominent ones seem to be Country Blue and Country Rose. These two colors are friendly and inviting, and will make guests in your home feel comfortable at once. Furniture in a country decorated home normally maintains its natural wood tones, such as pine or oak. Hard wood floors are a very popular aspect of this decorating technique. Adding a braided or hook rug to a hard wood floor instantly adds warmth and old world style beauty.
