Where the art comes into the equation is when creating the design elements of your kitchen. Whether it’s transitional, traditional, French Country, industrial, or contemporary, every kitchen design style has specific features that work together to define the style.
The Rustic Beauty of French Country Design
One design style living up to its name, more than almost any other, is French Country! Whether you’re in upstate New York, or Hollywood, California, when you walk into a classically designed French Country kitchen, you’re immediately transported deep into the heart of Provence. This style, when done well, feels effortless. However, the fact is, French Country design follows a specific formula to achieve its “imperfectly perfect” aesthetic.
At its core, French Country design exhibits a refined elegance with its neutral color palette and traditional details. Properly executed, a French Country design strikes a balance between rustic charm and sophisticated luxury. It’s a balance between beauty and comfort that feels lived in yet still welcoming. You can also integrate playful touches along with rustic charm, for example, botanical elements in art, fabric, and wall coverings.
