After spending perhaps a little too long swooning over French cottages, we’ve fallen head over heels for the Vintage French Farmhouse style. There’s something so invitingly charming about it. But how do you bring the timeless style into your home? With our French Farmhouse Collection of course. But first, let’s get an understanding of what exactly is the Vintage French Farmhouse style.
Understanding the Vintage French Farmhouse Style
First of all, it’s important to understand what makes the Vintage French Farmhouse style so special. Imagine rustic elegance, with all the country charm, and a touch of french allure. The Vintage French Farmhouse is characterised by natural materials, soft yet rich colour palettes and a cohesive mix of vintage and new. The idea is to create a space that feels enticing and sophisticated, yet warm and welcoming.
The Heart of the Home: The Farmhouse Kitchen
The heart and soul of any farmhouse home is the kitchen. A farmhouse kitchen is the place that joins everyone together, over food, catch-ups and most importantly - a good cup of tea. So, your farmhouse kitchen must set the scene for these magical moments.
The Farmhouse Kitchen Foundations
Functional Styling Tips
Vintage inspired open shelving is both quintessentially french farmhouse, and effortlessly functional. The French Farmhouse Wooden Wall Shelf With Hooks is perfect for displaying rustic kitchenware, hanging kitchen utensils and displaying your favourite mugs and tea towels. When styling your farmhouse kitchen, or anywhere for that matter, always be sure to optimise space. Making the most of wall space promises a more organised, clean appearance, no matter the size of your space.
Creating a Welcoming Dining Space
Next up is the dining room, which must follow the same mantra as the kitchen. Warm, welcoming and inviting. Your farmhouse dining table will be the main focus of the room, so take your time, and invest in one that you truly love.
Farmhouse Dining Table Selection
When choosing a farmhouse dining table, consider size, shape and material. Think about how many people you frequently host; do you tend to have large parties or intimate gatherings? The French Farmhouse Reclaimed Wood Dining Table is the perfect size for something in between. It gives you the option to sit 6 or more comfortably, yet wouldn’t feel overwhelming for a party of 3. Reclaimed wooden dining tables fit perfectly within the Vintage French Farmhouse style, as they exude a beautiful, characterful feel. Your farmhouse dining table is your centrepiece, invest in high quality and it will remain the host of your dining for years to come.
Matching Together Your Farmhouse Table and Chairs
As with your dining table, when selecting the complementary farmhouse dining chairs, you should consider who you will have surrounding your lovely table. If you frequently have guests over, perhaps a wooden bench would be a more versatile choice to squeeze on extra guests. For a more formal, yet characterful feel, we like to mix different styles of wooden dining chairs. The French Farmhouse Wicker Dining Chair and the French Farmhouse Wooden Dining Chair beautifully complement each other, and fit perfectly within the Vintage French Farmhouse style.
Cosy and Calming French Farmhouse Living Room
The living room is the home of relaxation and rejuvenation. How do you unwind on a slow Sunday morning? Do you curl up on the sofa with a frothy cappuccino at arms reach? Or prop your feet up whilst reading or catching up on your favourite show? Do you simply sit and rest and embrace a clear space? All these answers will lead you to choose what you should prioritise in your living room.
Key Living Room Elements
For us, a sturdy coffee table is a must. It’s more than just a place to pop your coffee. It’s a charming focal point for your space, the glue that ties together the room. If selected well, it can be the epitome of both function and Vintage French Farmhouse flair. If you choose to have a coffee table as the focal point in your living room, choose something with character. The French Farmhouse Round Wooden Coffee Table is the perfect example of this, with a delicately aged patina finish that’s both soft and striking.
Striking Storage
They say a clean space is a calm space; utilise storage to keep the chaos at bay, and add extra Vintage French Farmhouse charm to your home. Choosing a piece like the French Farmhouse Large Armoire Cabinet allows a place to showcase your most treasured items thanks to its gorgeous glass panelling.
Enhancing Every Corner
Office Space With Character
If you’re working from home, why not curate a farmhouse-inspired office? It’s arguably one of the easier rooms to carry out since it’s comparatively smaller. The Vintage French Farmhouse style lies hand in hand with high quality, striking wooden furniture pieces. So, the key elements in styling a farmhouse inspired office space consist of a sturdy desk, and a French Farmhouse Wooden Office Chair. Having a well curated home office environment is key to your productivity, so spending time creating the french farmhouse office of your dreams will pay off in the long run.
Decorative Touches
Now for the fun part: decorating! Decorative touches are the final element to perfecting your VIntage French Farmhouse home. Vintage linens, rustic centrepieces, and farmhouse-inspired tableware add so much charm.
Mirrors are wonderful for adding light and a touch of vintage elegance, as well as creating a cohesive space if you choose matching materials throughout. If you’re opting for lighter, or white finished wooden pieces, the French Farmhouse Distressed Mirror is a truly gorgeous addition.
