Create a French Country Kitchen
What characterizes French country design from other styles is the warm and rustic feel which typically characterizes the long wooden tables, chairs with ladder backs, table napkins, linens, and placemats reflecting natural patterns and various floral arrangements.
In French country homes, kitchens serve as the social gathering point for food and conversation among family and friends. Since French country homes are fairly small in size, the kitchens are also small and hence the kitchen cabinets have to be designed likewise.
The French home owners focus their imagination on warm, earthy colors to maximize space and to induce life into their kitchens. Warm and natural colors selected for kitchen cabinets include sunny yellows, gold, and rustic red, hunter green and azure blue. These colors render a countryside feel and warmth to the cabinets.
Walls are usually painted in a buttery yellow color to accentuate natural light. The floors and kitchen cabinet counters are usually laden with terra cotta tiles or tiles of any other natural sources like slate or natural stone which add to the earthy look of the French country side.
