French country style is a beautiful mix of vintage, shabby chic and rustic styles and the good news is that you can create it yourself without any designers – all you need for that is already at hand or can be bought for cheap. This is a style with effortless French chic and refined yet shabby furniture, and I can’t imagine a more soothing décor style ever. It’s not modern at all but who needs modernity when we have such vintage charm around? Let’s see how to rock this style in your dining space.
Colors
The colors of this style are neutrals and soft pastels, nothing bold or colorful. Keep it all simple and maybe add some floral prints here and there to make the space more charming. You can keep it al-white or off-white with some floral accents for a Provence feel.

Furniture
Furniture defines the space, and you should choose it carefully to create a great soothing and peaceful space.
