Truly French Kitchens..Guest post Arcadian Home Decor

Hello everyone! I'm Jenn and I write for Arcadian Home Decor, which is an e-commerce website that follows top home decor trends around the world. I'm a home decor magazine and blog junkie, and I spend hours poring over beautiful sites every day. A personal fave: French Buttons, where the blogs are always inspiring (I think owner Pamela and I were cut from the same cloth). Thanks for letting me guest post here today Pamela!

Truly French kitchens follow a simple home decor mantra: keep it elegant and classic. Solid and stately furniture, rich colour palettes, and a bevy of traditional home accessories all come together to create kitchens that are reminiscent of Provence or Paris. Here are eight truly French kitchens.

A dated touch

The weathered kitchen cupboards in this truly French kitchen gives the space an overall dated feel, while the two-toned exposed ceiling beams are a very modern detail.

Wooded bliss

The melange of deep, dark woods in this kitchen give it French flare, while the raw light fixtures create an antiqued look.

A mod nod

The white and stainless steel of this kitchen complement one another beautifully, and the leather bar chairs update the whole style.

Oooh la la for organics

It would seem like there are rolling vineyards outside the door of this eatery because of the organic hues in this truly French kitchen, which is sunny and warm accented with wood.

Country chic

A kitchen in soft beiges and minimal patterns is tres chic, and the wood slat floor is especially pretty to break up the monochromatic colour scheme. Loving the silvery blue charger plate.

A chef's dream

There's no shortage of incredible details in this truly French kitchen, such as a deep farmhouse sink, mahogany cabinets and ceiling, and blue-painted accents.

A storage nook

This antique sideboard outfitted with drawers and a worktop becomes the perfect little nook in a truly French kitchen, ideal for storing fruits, veggies, and other ingredients.

It's all in the details

While the colour of this truly French kitchen is inviting and warm, it's the architectural details that give this space so much personality, like the floating class cabinetry and curvy table legs on the island. And look at those charger plates used as decorations!
