French style homes are characterised by warm, earthy tones and engraved decorative items. The trick to achieving this look in Australia is to combine a warm, antique look, that looks natural in a more modern home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The French accent style style has come along way since it\u2019s roots in the 1770\u2019s. While still incorporating elements of antique furniture and over-the-top furnishings, nowadays we don\u2019t have to be so extravagant to create a French accent style. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you want to create a simple and modern French look or you are opting for the traditional, all-out style, these are our top 10 tipsL<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">1. French walls<\/span> <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The colours of your wall will determine the decorations and upholstery for the rest of the room. Try spilt coloured walls, such as: the upper half painted grey or white and the lower half (chair rail height) painted a darker red or blue. When choosing whites, stick to warmer tones such as cream, ivory and stone. As for blues, use aqua, cornflower or midnight blue. Choose a dominant colour such as red, that can be used to highlight aspects of the room. The style is inspired by the rolling French hills, so sunshine yellow is also an option for an accent colour. For a more traditional French style, incorporate timber work into the upper half of the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6884 size-large lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"French accent style walls\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-450x676.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-225x338.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-900x1352.jpg 900w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-walls-570x856.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sehomes.tumblr.com\/post\/149332466095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2.

Floral upholstery is a large part of the style, and this can be incorporated into anything, from couches to curtains to rugs. Red and blue stripes are a recognisable French feature and can be used in curtains and upholstery. In the kitchen, emphasise visual depth through your tiles and cupboards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6881 size-large lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"French accent style pink floral patterns\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-225x337.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-900x1349.jpg 900w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns-570x855.jpg 570w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-pink-floral-patterns.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thepapermulberry.blogspot.com.au\/2011\/05\/romantic-french-fabrics-blush-pink.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6876 size-large lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"French accent style bedroom\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-225x337.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-900x1349.jpg 900w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom-570x855.jpg 570w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-bedroom.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/leecarolineart.blogspot.com.au\/2014\/09\/french-country-cottage-appeal-with.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+BloomingArt+(Lee+Caroline+-+A+World+of+Inspiration)&amp;m=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">3.

These items will stick out like a sore thumb. French style homes prefer a weathered look. A look that represents ware and tare from past generations. This doesn&#8217;t mean you have to have an antique leather couch that has been passed down from generation to generation, it just means you have to shop for the right materials. Search for wrought iron, bronze and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brown leather couches<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, tables and chairs. Also consider natural materials like timber and stone, but make sure they match the warm colour scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6906 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings.jpg\" alt=\"French accent style vintage leather furnishings\" width=\"682\" height=\"850\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings.jpg 682w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings-450x561.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings-20x25.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings-225x280.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/vintage-leather-furnishings-570x710.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.countryliving.com\/home-design\/g4394\/brown-interior-design-trend\/?zoomable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may sound strange, but avoid matching furniture. Create a collected look with different shapes, sizes and colours of furniture and accessories. Mix a variety of finishes from natural woods to metals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">5. <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2 in 1 Decorations<\/span> <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While French accent is often known for an abundance of decorations, each decorative piece often has a functional use. The large clocks are for reading the time, the open kitchen shelving for easy access and the hanging pots and plates are for use in dinner parties. Extravagant candle holders once functioned as the only source of lighting but today they are more functional for nice smelling candles. Use gold as a main accessory colour, to reflect light around the room. Beautifully patterned plates can be hung in place of artwork. If using artwork, choose one large antique piece as opposed to smaller pieces and don\u2019t forget to add mirrors where possible. If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace, this is the perfect spot for decorative <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gold mirrors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or large artworks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6879 size-large lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"French accent style gold mirror above fireplace\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-225x338.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-900x1350.jpg 900w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace-570x855.jpg 570w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/french-accent-style-gold-mirror-above-fireplace.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/6-secrets-to-french-style-220709\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6882  lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"French accent style plate wall hangings\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-225x338.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-900x1350.jpg 900w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings-570x855.jpg 570w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-plate-wall-hangings.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theglitterguide.com\/2017\/04\/11\/luxurious-bright-home-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>6.

Use light blues, warm whites or pastel yellows for your walls and combine this with gold accessories and large mirrors. Incorporate wood furniture which is modern yet still fits with the French accent style. Less is more, so choose one piece of artwork or one feature piece in the room such as a decorated fireplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6878 size-large lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"French accent style fireplace\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-225x338.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-900x1351.jpg 900w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace-570x855.jpg 570w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/French-accent-style-fireplace.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/6-secrets-to-french-style-220709\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">8.

It\u2019s all about emphasising the structure of the building, even if it\u2019s a plain square room, curtains can dress up anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
