Buying Guide
Emily is a young, talented designer, whose professional interests gravitate towards kitchen and dining spaces. She prides herself on her attention to detail, obsession with functionality, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
Choosing the perfect country French kitchen chairs requires you to think in terms of a quaint yet upscale European estate home, with a focus on ornate detailing, curved lines, and a classic flair. The French country style uses light, pastel colors in combination with distressed cabinetry and furniture to create a bright, charming aesthetic you’ll love to have in your home.
To determine the best chairs for your kitchen, examine the design elements they must accentuate. Do you have a light wood dining table with either a trestle base or elaborately turned legs? Or a tabletop that possesses rustic character with artfully chipped paint? Opt for chairs that contrast the color of your table to create a dynamic look in the space.
These chairs can be vintage style with elaborate ladder backs or circular back upholstered chairs with nail back trimming. If you have patterns in the kitchen, on the curtains, or in a floor rug, incorporate those colors into the upholstery you select for your French country chairs. A light background with a colorful floral pastel pattern is perfect for any French country style home.
Mismatched country French kitchen chairs are a great way to add visual interest to your dining room. However, you should aim to keep a cohesive aesthetic, and there are several specific techniques you can use to coordinate rather than match your chairs to your dining table.
Choose dining chairs that are the same material as your dining table but in a contrasting shade. For example, choose a natural oak dining chair to go with your distressed white oak table.
Alternatively, your table and chair colors can match but have different design features or be made from different materials. Try a natural cherry wood round pedestal table with cherry wood Windsor back chairs with turned legs.
Country French kitchen chairs are most usually made out of wood—a light wood, generally speaking, such as walnut or birch.
Some traditional styles may call for a darker wood, such as mahogany. In some cases, these chairs are painted—but usually a light pastel color, as in farmhouse-chic aesthetics.
