The Cool Way To Do French Country Decor

The French countryside conjures up images of quaint villages, charming cottages, and fields of Monet-like super blooms. We are here for all of it when it comes to our home decor. A simple color palette of warm, earthy tones on a clean canvas of white keeps French Country decor fresh and modern, while a mix of old and new (like an old farmhouse table topped with a modern chandelier) gives off an authentic, edgy vibe. Take the time to find pieces that you love to master this rustic, a bit romantic, and timeless decor style. We rounded up a few favorite pieces that will inspire your next vacation or decorating escape.
