Muted and neutral colours Along with the right textures, aim for a soft palette—one with beiges, creams, pastels, whites, and greys. You can also add faded blues into this mix. Research areas such as Collonges-la-Rouge, Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, Bordeaux, or Provence. From these idyllic locations, you’ll gain a strong understanding of how to make colours work with a French Provincial design. Aim for natural, rustic mouldings Use natural materials in your living room design to help create a sense of homeliness, which is crucial to a social room like this.

Adorn the space with vintage furniture French Provincial living room furniture should focus on antiques and other rustic furnishing. This is an opportunity to peruse flea markets and charity shops to find authentic pieces. There’s a lot of room for variation here—consider old armchairs, cupboards showing their age, and heirloom china. The furniture should have simple, refined lines and a worn wood look. You want to create a sense of a lived-in atmosphere, even if you’ve only just created the space. French Provincial furniture in the living room is highly popular with Australian homeowners. Alongside recreating the feel of France, this style creates a sense of homeliness many people crave. There’s no need to break the bank A considerable positive is that a lot of the furniture you need is vintage, so finding cheap French Provincial living room furniture can be very cost-effective. A trip to a local charity shop or flea market can result in some impressive finds, all of which won’t be remotely near the price of new furniture. Better yet, there’s a strong chance these items will fully fit your creative bill. They will add a touch of classical charm, while layering up the timeless atmosphere you’re aiming for. Accesorise, but less is more Accessorising is an excellent opportunity to build on the feeling of a lived-in space, but you do need to keep it under control. It may be tempting to lavish a living room with many classic French accessories, but it does not take much to make a room too busy. There should be an element of minimalism to this type of interior style, so focus your design on iconic fittings such as: Chandeliers with crystal or wrought iron details Mirrors with gilded or distressed frames Decorative accents (vintage clocks, ceramic vases, eye-catching candle holders etc.) Experiment with these features and you can soon find the ideal balance, with a small number of accessories capable of adding an abundance of sophistication to any space. Consider a modern touch A modern French Provincial living room can include trendy additions. These can include an updated colour palette, which may include a bolder range (navy blue, emerald green, or charcoal). These can throw in a noticeable contrast to the more classical, timeless pieces in the room. To complement this further, you may want to think about adding sleek furniture. A modern coffee table is a great start, before embellishing your interior design with modern art or technology. To further fine-tune a contemporary French Provincial living room, you can introduce statement pieces. This may be a chandelier with a twist, one with sleeker lines and a matte finish. Pendant lights can add to a trendier atmosphere.
