French Farmhouse Kitchen Decorating Ideas

 The simplicity and warmth of the French farmhouse decorating style reminds me of my grandmother's house. Her house was filled with items which were passed on from generation to generation and had a rustic charm to them.

Some of the signature French farmhouse kitchen pieces are: ironstone serveware, ceramic pitcherscopper cookware and wicker baskets for storage.  
You can display these items on distressed wood wall shelves or in antique cupboards.

For the wall decor, choose still life paintings or serene bucolic landscapes.

Burlap, striped or plaid fabrics can be used for chair covers and curtains. 

For the color palette,  the most popular choices are earthy tones like: cinnamon, autumn leaves and caramel inspired hues, neutrals like antique, tulip and vanilla blush whites and warm colors like honey, pumpkin and lemon hues.
