Your color palette for for a french country décor is light but antiqued. A light (but not pale) blue or green can have a very french feel especially if it has an aged look to it. French country style also invokes images of hand painted furniture instead of raw wood.

Use hand painted furniture and other French style accents that will help bring out the french country in your bedroom. It is recommended to group your accessories in odd numbers rather than even numbers. Different heights and textures are also attractive. For example use different height and texture candles for a grouping.

You should decorate your bedroom walls with artwork that enhances your french country decor but make sure you hang them correctly. You should hang wall art and paintings so that the middle of the piece is at eye level. Art work can be used as a headboard if you have a large piece. Try leaning a tall mirror behind a bed as a head board for a dramatic look! These mirrors can be five to six feet tall. It has an amazing effect! Hang your french country themed pictures seven to ten inches above a table. Try to align pictures in different geometric shapes (vertical circular triangular or rectangular groupings) in various sizes for a different effect.

Lighting is an important element in accessorizing your bedroom. You can create a wonderful ambiance with the right lighting to compliment the french country theme you want to create. Go for more of a plain style lamp with perhaps a toile or printed shade.

You can also add interest to your bedroom with area rugs that match your theme. Resting furniture on the rug will help anchor it in the room. Remember to only use rugs that compliment your french country accessories.

Use many pillows on the bed as this can add a splash of color in a bedroom. Vary the colors and patterns of the pillows but always keep within the colors of your theme.
