Compared with American pastoral style and British pastoral style, French pastoral style is more refined.

Furniture French country-style furniture follows the elegance of French furniture, with streamlined patterns and exquisite details. A wooden armchair with thin curved legs and cream striped fabric is the most typical French furniture.
Restaurant and Kitchen As we all know, France is a country of good food and fine wine. Dining with family and friends under the sunshine in the courtyard is a very important part of French life.
Therefore, the focus of French country style home decoration is the dining room and kitchen, not the bedroom.
A French country-style dining room must have a large china cabinet, displaying the owner's exquisite tableware and tea sets.
Rough clay pots, hand-painted bowls, polished copper pots and thin wire woven baskets are essential utensils in the kitchen. Of course, you'd better have a few pots of fresh herb plants on the windowsill, or on the wall,
Hang a few bunches of dried herb sprigs under the window sill.
The walls are generally very simple, without too many lines. The white plaster walls and white ceilings with horizontal log beams show the most authentic French rural characteristics.
Fabrics Like country styles in all regions, natural cotton and linen fabrics cover the seats, windows, and beds of French country homes.
Accessories are unique in the patterns with local characteristics. In addition to the familiar French rooster, lavender, sunflower and other iconic patterns, the patterns of olive trees and cicadas are generally printed on tablecloths, curtains and sofa cushions.
Wrought iron chandeliers and wrought iron candlesticks decorate the French country style dining room.
Matching Colors Like the abundant local sunshine, the main color of a French country-style home should also be bright, embellished with the colorful colors of nature, such as the purple of lavender, the golden yellow of sunflowers, the green of olive trees, etc.
Although it is a country style, the French pastoral style reveals delicacy and romance in the seemingly random decoration, which is a reflection of the pursuit of leisurely life.
