- 1). French Country Builds on the Strength of White
Typical French country bedrooms make use of color combinations that include yellow and white, blue and white, and even green and white. However, this motif can still be maintained while adding a deeper and more modern hue to the room. That new addition is the color brown. Even though brown is considered to be a more subtle and natural color, when it is paired with white, a whole new era of French country emerges. The appeal is both romantic and distinguished. Casual elegance no longer requires the abolishment of the color white, but rather builds on its strengths. - 2). French Country Encourages Drama in the Bedroom
The pure mass of a single item in a French country bedroom can bring drama and perspective to the room. For the best overall appeal, choose either a bed or a wardrobe that is largely oversized and complements the color brown. This massive piece of furniture can be plain and simple or it can be ornately designed. To stick with the French country motif, only choose one large piece of furniture and use smaller pieces to accent the room. Often, drama in a French country bedroom comes from the focal point that is created either by the bed itself or by a fabulously designed wardrobe. - 3). French Country Stresses Old World Details
The addition of the color brown to your French country bedroom is the modern element for the room design. The rest of your bedroom needs to remain reminiscent of the Old World. The accent pieces and decorative fabrics need to stay true to the Old World detail that so often accompanies the French country motif. In your mind, imagine an Old World French chateau and search for delicate finishing touches to add to the room. A small amount of traditional white lace and delicate linen details will remind you of the cozy and subtle elements of a chateau. The warmth and depth of a brown comforter or a brown piece of furniture will add character and a modern touch to the French country bedroom.
