French country is all about old world charm and with just a few suggestions you will achieve the look in your kitchen.

1. Less is More
You want the colors in your room to create a feeling of warmth and make you feel welcome into the room. When it comes to achieving this you need to remember less is more. Choose soft colors like off white, taupe, or beige. Try colors like smoked oyster, popped corn, flint smoke or malt. No bold colors! Your accent colors should be light yellows, pale blues, or rose colors. Try colors like toasted wheat, peach fade, brook trout, or harmonic tan.

Two colors gives the best presentation. Two and two for walls. Other wise you can do the walls in one color and then do trim and accents in the second color.

2. Get Basic
Try to use rustic pieces that will add warmth and sophistication to your room. Your table is a great place to start. It's an important piece in your room's home décor. Make sure you have plenty of storage and avoid clutter.

Your countertops should be simple with no distractions. Your window dressings should be light and airy and very country. Sheers or lace always look great.

3. French Living
Your French kitchen isn't just a look it's a lifestyle where families gather to prepare and enjoy a meal. There is never one cook in the meal preparation. Everyone participates and plenty of space is key. That means you should have lots of open countertop, perhaps even an island. And floor space is very helpful too.

4. Dining Table
Your table is an important element in your décor. It will quickly add ambiance to your room. Add the right accents to the table for the finishing touches you need. Choose a beautiful wood table. Traditional styling or the new trendy countertop height table - both will look great!

5. Odd Man Out
Remember your décor doesn't have to be from the kitchen. Add that wonderful old bookcase or an antique vase. Any item that adds to the room's style is welcome.

These five simple steps will get you started on creating a French Country kitchen. It's an atmosphere that's warm and inviting. In fact it produces one of the best kitchen decors around.

There is nothing quite like old world charm. It sets a tone that can't be created with any other décor. Not only does it look great when you enter the room you instantly feel warm and welcome. What's not to like about that?

Then all that is left to do is start cooking up some terrific French cuisine for friends and family. Before you know it you'll all be enjoying a great meal and great conversation around the table. So is your dining table French Country?
