Take a Look into the Charming French Country Project

Fratantoni Interior Designers • May 28, 2021

We couldn’t be more excited to share with you the interior design details of this gorgeous French Country Home. Traditionally this style tends to be more rustic, but we confidently chose to showcase simple elegancy in our favorite features. Check it out!

What is French Country?

 

French Country is an interior design style that was inspired by farmhouses and country homes in rural France. This style boasts of warmth and that welcoming feel everyone desires when you enter their home.  The style originated in the Provence region of France. Even though this is the inspiration behind the design, anyone has the flexibility to add their own personal touch. And that is the beauty of interior design styles.

 

Features of French Country

Should you choose to recreate this style, then it is essential to understand the significant features that characterize French Country design. First, you really can’t go wrong with such a wide color scheme. However, lighter neutral shades are often used with a mix of deep green and red shades. The flooring in French Country style is a significant feature as natural materials such as stone and wood are used. French Country is almost the exact opposite of the minimalist look making accessories a huge part of this design style. These are just a few of the main features that define the French Country design.

Kitchen Details

The real showpiece in this project would have to be the kitchen. Everyone is loving the flow that the open concept kitchen brings for entertaining and everyday life. The kitchen features a huge, Mediterranean, u-shaped layout. This design showcases multicolored marble floors. We used recessed-panel black cabinets with marble countertops on the perimeter and butcher block for the island countertop. Our clients wanted a large island with bar stool seating.

The back wall has a gorgeous marble backsplash that extends to the ceiling. This kitchen backsplash features a custom tile design above the stove with gold accents. In this kitchen design, we planned for an undermount sink and paneled appliances. Gold hardware surrounds the kitchen for a beautiful accent on those black cabinets. We included open shelving on both sides of the gas-burning stove as a unique element. Lastly, as the final touch, we added a floral loveseat under the window which adds the perfect pop of colors and comfort. Not to mention the loveseat is paired with a darling oval dining table.

Living Room Details

The open concept continues into the living room with the dark wood floors making a statement. The focal point of this French Country living room is a beige U-shaped sectional couch. The sectional is decorated with floral throw pillows to match the kitchen loveseat. At the center of the u-shaped sectional sits a glass coffee table. And a built-in stone fireplace acts as the focal point on the back wall. Above the stone fireplace sits a wall-mounted tv. Off to the side of the living room, there is a beautiful built-in bar with gray cabinets.

This custom bar features built-in shelving with two large wine coolers and a mirrored back bar shelf. For a nice place to sit and relax, we’ve added a bar table for two to sit in front of the built-ins. And for the cherry on top, this French Country bar opens to a charming courtyard patio with a built-in wall fountain.

Hallway Details

With French Country being big on natural materials, we had to include the detailed shots of this wood-designed door. We are proud to say that these gorgeous wood doors are custom-designed, only the best for our clients. Meanwhile, the hallway features a gold and black chandelier. Finally, the staircase features a custom stair runner with gold metal detailing.

Guest Bathroom Details

Now on to the luxurious French Country guest bathroom. Upon entry, I don’t know if the ornate vanity or the unique black and white flooring catches your eye first. This custom vanity features gold and marble which is everything you need for a luxurious bathroom design. Lastly, the shower door features a black grid door design.

Home Theatre Details

Without delay, let’s check out what the French Country home theatre has to offer. This cozy room features custom wall-to-wall black built-ins with a large TV screen. At the center of the room sits a cognac leather sectional for prime viewing. And for a chic touch, the windows are dressed in damask patterned curtains.

Bedroom Details

One of our favorite design details in this project is the floral wallpaper in the bedroom. The wallpaper is the perfect pop of color to draw you in and leave you wanting more. The floral feature wall is finished off with two single panel beige curtains on both sides. This French Country bedroom features a cozy bed with colorful throw pillows and white bedding. Additionally, two bronze nightstands sit on both sides of the bed and a black tufted bench rests at the end.

Master Bathroom Details

To end with, the mast bedroom is only fair. This French Country master bathroom features an outstanding shower with all white tile and a gold showerhead. The unique, floral-inspired shower tile is truly one of a kind. The shower door is hinged with matching gold accents. And we can’t forget the fabulous crystal chandelier that hangs from the center of the room. Our world-renowned designers covered every detail here.

With the holiday season officially upon us, the home naturally shifts from a private sanctuary into a bustling gathering place for family and friends. While an exquisite menu and great company are essential, the true art of the dinner party lies in the environment itself.  At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we know that a flawlessly executed evening feels effortless to guests, but that effortlessness requires meticulous architectural planning. A luxury dining room must balance grandeur with intimacy,creating a space where conversation flows as easily as the wine. Here is how we design high-end dining spaces built specifically for the art of entertaining.

For the avid oenophile, a world class wine collection is a lifelong pursuit that deserves to be celebrated. In today’s high end custom builds, the wine cellar has evolved from a purely functional storage closet into a breathtaking architectural centerpiece. Quick Answer for Custom Home Builders: Designing a luxury wine cellar requires far more than installing wine racks.To properly protect fine wine, the space must maintain a constant 55°F and 60-70% humidity. Achieving this requires structural framing for heavy vapor barriers, closed-cell foam insulation, and dedicated commercial grade HVAC systems.A true luxury wine cellar must be planned during the architectural blueprint phase, long before construction begins. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we specialize in transforming the traditional wine cellar into a bespoke, experiential tasting room. Here is how we craft custom wine architecture that protects your investment while serving as the ultimate entertaining space.

When walking through a high-end estate, the sense of luxury is often felt before it is consciously understood. While beautiful furniture and art play their part, the true hallmark of a bespoke home is its architectural permanence. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we believe that custom millwork is the ultimate differentiator between a standard custom build and a world-class luxury estate. Millwork encompasses all the custom woodwork built directly into the framework of your home, from expansive library shelving and intricate wall paneling to seamless kitchen cabinetry and dramatic ceiling treatments. Far beyond simple storage, bespoke millwork acts as the architectural furniture of the home. Here is why prioritizing custom woodwork is essential to achieving timeless luxury.

When designing a luxury custom home, it is easy to focus on exciting details like paint colors and furnishings. However,while a statement sofa can be swapped out over a weekend, architectural interior elements are permanent investments.  At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we help clients make the right foundational choices early in the process to prevent costly, time-consuming renovations later. Here are the five design decisions you need to get right the first time.

Luxury interior design should never feel temporary. Yet many homeowners have walked into a home they once loved only to realize it suddenly feels tied to a specific moment in time. A once-popular trend becomes outdated. Materials lose their appeal. Spaces that felt current begin to feel disconnected from how the family actually lives. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we believe true luxury isn't defined by what's trending today. It's defined by creating interiors that remain beautiful, functional, and relevant for years to come. The most successful luxury homes aren't designed around trends.  They're designed around timeless principles.

Many homeowners reach a moment when their home feels close to finished, yet something still feels missing. The architecture is beautiful, the furnishings are thoughtfully chosen, and the materials reflect quality, but the home does not yet feel whole. This is a feeling our clients describe often, and it is usually the moment they reach out to Fratantoni Interior Designers.  A luxury home becomes truly complete when every room speaks the same design language. This harmony is subtle but unmistakable. It shows up in the way colors flow from one space to the next, in the way lighting creates warmth and depth, and in the way furnishings feel tailored to the architecture rather than simply placed within it. When these elements come together, the home feels intentional, inviting, and beautifully finished.
