The rich simplicity of a French country nursery comes from colors taken from Provence, Champagne and other famous rural regions. The palette you choose for should reflect the fruits and vegetables found in a village market; the creamy goodness of butter, milk and cheese; and the yellows, greens and browns of the countryside itself. Choose soft tones of these colors for a gentle, romantic feel or bolder shades for something a little more dramatic.

A French country crib bed possesses a charming appearance that is rustic yet warm and inviting. As beautifully demonstrated by the Natart Verona Classic Crib in French White and Silver, the rattan panels are proof of how French country incorporates other materials into the design of furniture as opposed to more traditional tenet of using only wood. French country cribs typically have distressed finishes, pastoral motifs and carved, stenciled or embossed decorative accents. They can also have other kinds of decoration such as moldings, cabriole legs or scalloped aprons.

Whimsically capturing the spirit of French Country, the Maddie Boo Ava 3-piece Baby Crib Bedding Set possesses a balanced mix of solid colors and paisley patterns. The general effect is perfectly delightful, while adding color and texture to the room; it also has a pastoral motif that includes birds and farm animals.

A French country nursery is ideal for a baby girl nursery because it is an eclectic style, allowing you the freedom to be a laid-back or as formal as you want it to be. It’s easy to get that certain look that will make your girl nursery stand out. When accessorizing a French country nursery, follow these three basic French country decorating principles – mix and match second-hand store finds with antique-like furniture pieces; for window treatments, area rugs, lampshades, etc. use colors found in the French countryside; and include classic motifs like the rooster, orchard fruits or wildflowers. In no time at all, you’ll have a French country nursery your baby girl will be proud of.
