Without restrictions, the charm of this style of decoration shines through the centuries, the smell of wood, the gray tone of the ashes in the andirons, the aroma of freshly baked bread left to cool on a marble countertop. This is the kind of love and vivacity that decorators want to capture and make part of your everyday life. No other scheme conveys ideas of love better than a French kitchen.
The dream of this theme comes to life with a magic that is warm and welcoming, it is a grandeur that you can feel and incorporates the mixture of old style with modern trends, or warm colors and bistro styles.
To capture the grandeur of this style, decorators must control color choices and create with discipline. To spice up your theme, start by decorating the walls or cabinets first. Consider using warm paint colors for the walls that are warm and inviting. The colors used in this style are like a splendid torch that is passed down through the generations and include warm yellows, rustic reds, cobalt blues, whites, and forest greens. The color chosen depends on the decorator’s choice.
Another idea is to use decorative tiles under cabinets and above the stove, consider black and white diamond designs or beige tiles.
Full involvement is necessary for a great French kitchen, so take the initiative to stain and strip your pine cabinets to create a rustic feel. With this scheme emphasize that the cabinets stand out. If you decide not to buy new cabinets or stain them, consider removing the cabinet doors and hiring a carpenter to engrave or add a pattern to the cabinet doors. Remember when staining that the cabinets should be very light, so that your decoration appears cheerful and welcoming. To help capture the desired effects in your kitchen, remember that there should be a good source of both natural and artificial lighting, this concept being that the light will help create a warm and cheerful home environment.
THE NATURAL ELEMENT
Modern and elegant designs are generally not included in this style.
Some other decorating ideas to create a great French kitchen include granite countertops, lavender flower arrangements, in the center of the kitchen use wrought iron chairs surrounding a dark wood kitchen island, wine racks, also consider canisters and decoration in the colors of forest green or sunny yellow or poppy red. (Kitchen islands include kitchen carts, butcher blocks, kitchen countertops, work tables, stainless steel tables and carts, utility carts, and also microwave carts.)
The wood gives greatness to this style and is used to make shelves and pantries, it is also used to make tools necessary for cooking such as cutting boards and islands. Wood is antimicrobial and makes an excellent surface for food preparation. Also use wood to liven up a color scheme, use wood countertops, island surfaces, wood furniture, and also safes and freestanding pastry racks.
The marble is used to make baking stations, perhaps just a portion of the counter in a strategic location out of direct sunlight and the marble will stay cool, preserving the dough used for baking.
In a large French kitchen, stone is used in the hearth of the fireplace to keep the heat in, and also a stone hearth is an excellent place to allow bread dough to rise. The stone gives a warm feeling and adds an old rustic look. If your home does not have a fireplace, it is possible to install a stone arch or build a border along the wall.
