Designer Advice:

Because most French country furniture comes in neutral shades, they make a great canvas for all kinds of pops of colors. While they pair beautifully with earthy tones like moss green, they also complement bright shades, such as red and blue. If you’re unsure of which color palette to choose for your bedroom remodel, try playing it safe with beige, gray, or pale pastel accessories.

Designer Advice:

Although French country bedroom sets in light finishes are ideal for brightening up a small room, dark wood furniture comes with its own set of benefits as well. For one, it adds drama to the setting without looking too over the top. Other than that, it can visually shrink a spacious room, creating a more intimate and cozy atmosphere.

Buying Guide

French country designs use flowing lines, warm neutral colors and the romantic characteristics of Southern France. Historical ornate wood and fluffy pillows are used to make a bedroom set feel warm and cozy. Traditionally antique white with gold trim, French country has emerged with new colors and updated styles to fit the modern decors without losing the elegant features.

What materials are typical for French country bedroom furniture?

Quality materials are a sign of French country bedroom sets with hand-carved swirls and masterful wood trim. Details, such as tall bun feet and door fronts with raised wood inserts, announce the integrity that is put into each piece.

Painted Wood - Antique white is always an option, however, French country painted midnight blue or black are beginning to make a statement in today's color schemes.
Natural Hardwood - Oak, cherry or walnut are woods that changing the presence of French country. Using the same craftsmanship with dovetails and sweeping curves, natural wood delivers a majestic look.
Upholstery - Soft tufted velvet or faux leather is used as an insert on headboards to add more charm to an already sophisticated set. Chenille on a flattering sleigh bed with distressed wood can show how much French country has changed.
Metal - Wrought iron with scrolls and spindles qualifies many metal designs as Shabby Chic French Country. Coated with dark bronze or pewter, beds are able to use natural wood dressers and tables for accent.
Hardware - Hardware is everything to French country. Accented dressers with satin metal handles or knobs keeps the warm glow of tradition while matching new styles.

hat are the characteristics of French country style furniture?

French country has evolved into the use of new colors, materials and accents, but the general outline will never change. For example, beaded headboards have been added, but still within the swooping confines of the style. Canopies for majesty and distressed wood wrapped around soft tuffs are other features that make French country more versatile in options. Small additions, such as USB ports in bedside tables, lets you know that this is the design of today. Elegant scrolled mirrors, fluffy comforters and lots of pillows bring the style home.

What sized do French Country bedroom sets come in?

French country bedroom sets come in a variety of sizes. Everything from twin to king-sized frames is available with corresponding tables and dressers. Tall ceilings can be accepting to canopies or raised headboards and freestanding closets. 8' ceilings are better matched for lower headboards and dressers no higher than the matching headboard. Consider skinny wall mounted mirrors as opposed to massive dresser mirrors when space is limited to balance the room.

How to care for French country bedroom sets?

Wood and metal bed frames are covered with protective coatings for easy care with a dry or damp cloth. Never place sweating glasses on tables or dressers to avoid rings. Keep wood surfaces polished with an oil-based product to keep a natural sheen.
