#1 Add Some Home Accessories which has French Country Style Colors

 

Colors are such an essential issue in every part of interior design, and French Country is a style that you can use exiting colors.

Red, yellow, orange, pink, and purple, you can use the color wheel in maximum capacity.

However, I have some warnings for you;

  • If you already have bright colors in your kitchen, try to use subdued tones in your home accessories rather than adding other hues.
  • If you don’t have colors (neutral kitchen palette), you can add complementary colors in your home accessory.

What are those Home Accessories?

 

You already know that flowers are stars if you are a massive fan of French Country decor. Wildflower decor is inevitable.

One of the ideas for French Country kitchen that I want you to try is to use wildflowers and change the colors over time to find your perfect accent colors before you buy anything new.

Find a perfect accent color to your unique kitchen, and then you are good to go.

Another signature decor elements are cooking tools made of copper. Any copper pots and pans are known to use as a decor element in French Country kitchens.

Hang some copper pots by adding wrought iron hardware, or place them into your open shelves.

Light fixtures are always a way to strengthen interior design styles.

Plus, finding lighting in French Country style is so easy because it has a very distinctive fixture, it will instantly bring a French vibe in your kitchen.
