Nothing in home decor says French country more than blues and yellows. They even look great peppered with red accents. Welcoming and quaint, geometrical and calico fabrics flow abundant covering soft pillows and windows frames.
Add bunches of red or yellow flowers to suggest the countryside is right outside. In sideboard vignettes, add a favorite Impressionist's print, a pot of flowers, books, and a few pieces of fresh fruit. It flower petals drop, leave them for a day or two.
In the kitchen or entry hall, a red bench with more yellow flowers is a good start. Choose either blue or black as the second color and add throw pillows in a rooster theme, perfect French decor.
The options for French country are fun, festive, and inviting.

Those pictures look just like my mother´s house- such a nice memory as she is on the other side of the world.

I love the lattice-like decoration on that flower pot with the yellow flowers. I see a diy project in my future.~Tracy
