French Country Kitchen Decorating Ideas

Vintage French Country Kitchen Decorating Ideas - Shabby Chic Interior Design



French Country Kitchens are designed using an elegant mix of rustic, antique, floral and decorative elements.
For the wall color, the most commonly used are faux earthy finishes, mellow tones of yellow, beige or robin egg blue.

The kitchen cabinets can be  white or have distressed finish. Having glass door kitchen cabinets is a good idea, as you can display your china, glasses or vintage serving pieces.

While white appliances go well with the white cabinets, the stainless steel ones can add a modern note to the space.

Marble countertops can add a luxurious touch. Also, the butcher block, white laminate or quartz would look amazing.


For the kitchen island, you can use a vintage farm table as an affordable solution.

An antique chandelier would look amazing in a french country kitchen. If you purchase a new one, you can easily give it an antique finish.


As decorations, use copper molds, vintage ceramic roosters, ironstone pitchers filled with flower bouquets and brass candle holders.



Please let me know what style did you use or plan to use for your kitchen decor?

What a wonderful piece! Love all the beautiful photos, especially the first one of that amazing kitchen. I have that exact table in my kitchen . . . as for the amazing chandelier, I can only dream!

That first picture is absolutely stunning. Usually I'm on the fence about chandeliers in kitchens, but that one looks gorgeous.
