As for the rest of the kitchen, opt for natural stone or wood countertops. These are beautiful, durable, and found in a classic French country home. Place your countertops on top of cabinets with lots of elegant trim. Then pair your ornate and elegant cabinets with more rustic kitchen features.

While most of your home has clean, white plaster walls, in the kitchen, you might consider creating an accent wall. Use recycled brick or stone. It will have the perfect aged look for a country cottage kitchen.

You’ll also commonly find wood beams, exposed and stretching across the ceiling in French country decor. You can create this look by creating fake support beams by building a box from reclaimed wood and mounting it to the ceiling.

The elegance of the cabinets will balance nicely with the rustic touches of the brick and wood beams.

Vintage-inspired gas stoves are on-trend right now. This is perfect for your French country interior design. Pair it with a French-style hood that matches your cabinet trim work, and you can have a complete look.

Your next step is to find the ideal table and chairs. Start by deciding what size table will fit the space. You need enough room to get up and move about.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match your set. It’s commonplace in country French decor to see a modern table with vintage chairs, or the other way around. The trick to making it work is to stick with the rusticly-elegant theme.
