French country style is undeniably charming. Inspired by the idyllic homes in Provence, France — a picturesque region complete with rolling hills and lavender fields — this style marries fanciful, feminine details with classic, country elements. The result is the ultimate blend of beauty and comfort. Ahead: Recreate the romantic look in your own home with a little help from some of our favorite designers and HGTV stars.

Designer and Restored by the Fords star Leanne Ford created the perfect place to display fun trinkets and whimsical dishes in her Pennsylvania cottage: open shelves. Extra French-country points if your shelves boast cute iron brackets like the ones in Leanne’s kitchen.

The best French country designs come down to the details. In this kitchen, Leanne Ford filled the open shelves with dishware, dried flowers and homey accessories. When decorating your own shelves, use items with a mix of shapes. A crock with cooking utensils or a vase with flowers adds height, while small bowls or a stack of dishcloths fill in the spaces below. And don't forget your classic French-Country staples: pops of blue, ceramic vases and bold pattern.

Neutral colors and layered bedding, like in this bedroom designed by Good Bones host Mina Starsiak Hawk, are two keystones of French country design. Start with a solid base for the duvet, then layer blankets and pillows with a subtle pattern (preferably floral) on top. A weathered wood bench, turned wood bedframe and brass chandelier bring in vintage texture.
