French Country Living Room Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a french country living room — plus the pieces that make the look work.
Designing a french country living room
A french country living room blends the french country look — provincial + graceful, limestone, lime plaster, fruitwood, linen — with layouts and details that suit a living room. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
French Country living room palette
Let chalk and limestone occupy most of the room, then use blue-grey on one furniture volume. Add ochre or indigo only through a narrow textile or painted detail.
Color roles
Warm mineral background for walls and large architectural surfaces.
Defines one armoire, cabinet bank or textile without turning coastal.
Adds sun-warmed depth through plaster, stripes or small upholstery.
Grounds pale stone through curved tables, desks and beds.
A restrained pattern color for toile and block-printed linen.
