French Country As A Decor Style
In our previous post – “What Is French Country Decor?“, we defined French Country as “A super close cousin to Shabby Chic decor, French Country decor is all about the beauty of aged furniture. French country decor is a little more toned down than something like Victorian style, but much more feminine than rustic or primitive decor. French country decor features lots of big furniture pieces and invokes a cottage-y feel to any home. The main background is often white, or a muted color, with pops of bright colors in the decorations.“
