French Country Living Room

By Darren Hartley


A French country living room can draw its inspiration from a romantic trip to France. From this inspiration, the look of a country French manor home can be gotten for the living room. A French country living room has a versatile look, carried out in a quaintly provincial manner.

The signature of a formal French country living room is a collected-over-time look. Its seating alcove can consists of waxed white spruce floors and throw pillows crafted from vintage fabrics to gently age a new sofa and linen armchairs.

There is a welcoming attitude behind a light, airy and romantic French country living room. Its European inspired interior can feature linen and velvet chaise, a cozy fireside and splendid outdoor views. Its relaxed neutral palette leaves the interesting antique pieces scattered around to speak for themselves.

The stylish serendipity of a French country living room beautifully combines seemingly disparate items in the room. Chairs slip covered in drop cloths are anchored by a new French needlepoint rug. A flat screen television is hidden behind new bookshelves.

There is sophistication in a French country living room defined by a pair of bergere chairs flanking a French side table in its central seating area. There are two primary reasons for the selection of a neutral palette. The first is the creation of a relaxed setting and the second is the placement of design emphasis on Parisian pieces and antiques.

The provencal panache of a French country living room incorporates warm wood panelling that gently envelopes the room. This gives it a library-like feel. A refined yet relaxed look comes from shades of blue-gray and green intermingled with crisp white. The furnishings, from a gray, curved back mohair sofa and a green glazed French-styled chair to a humble antique table and an unassuming club chair, carry over this look.
