Classic French Kitchens

Hello! I’m Jessica, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, a website and blog with a wonderful selection of affordable lighting fixtures and interior design inspirations every day! I’m delighted to be guest posting for Terry today because I'm going to be sharing a collection of classic French kitchens. I hope you find them as inspiring as I do! Amusez-vous bien!

A beautiful combination of rustic details and perfectly chic design elements make this kitchen a dream come true for any chef. The wide open doors let in the fresh air and the wooden table and benches are so inviting.

The rustic French farmhouse quality of this kitchen is so cozy and charming. Oak cabinets and the exposed wood beam ceiling add plenty of natural texture and beauty to the room.

The vintage French cane chairs add a wonderful, elegant cafe atmosphere to this airy kitchen. The glass roof and low hanging pendant lights ensure plenty of light, no matter what time of day.

Luxurious armchairs at the kitchen table are so cozy and sophisticated. Perfect symmetry and a crisp white and black color palette make this kitchen absolutely magnifique!

I love all the lush greenery in this spacious kitchen. The sparkling inverted pendant lights add a certain je ne sais quoi that is at once elegant and whimsical.

This cozy country kitchen feature classic French floral patterns and charming rustic details. The bright red stove and matching red clock face are wonderful accents, while these types of iron wrought chandeliers give the room a bold character.

The intricate moldings and cabriolet legs on the cabinets and kitchen island are classic French details. The powder blue and cream-white colors are very traditional, as well.

A classic black and white color palette is always chic. This airy French kitchen emphasizes form and function in a stylish, sophisticated way. Images 1| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
