French Country Chairs

We bet it won’t come as a surprise that the most typical French country palettes consist of the colors of nature and, more precisely, of the Provençal countryside: blue, green, yellow, pink, red, straw…

However, they aren’t usually bright and heavily saturated but rather delicate and pastel-colored.

Choosing an accent chair in one of these hues will immediately highlight your commitment to this style.

It’s rare to find leather in the most #pinteresting French country living rooms: fabric upholstered chairs are key with this style!

To further enhance your home’s connection to the countryside and the rural world, prioritize natural materials like linen, cotton, or the most iconic French toile chairs with patterns.

Alternatively, if you’d rather put budget and practicality first, synthetic materials like polyester offer a wide range of elegant-looking options, nowadays.

With French country style dating back to the 17th century, it’s only natural that an antique touch will be a natural match for your new armchair.

If you already own other opulent pieces of furniture, you could consider a Louis XV or XVI style with the most decorative solid wood design full of carvings and recognizable motifs.

Alternatively, you could just give a tasteful nod to this style’s origin by opting for a retro twist with harmonious lines and legs.
