French Country Living Room

The yellow walls are repainted in a shade of tan that evokes the sun-baked color of stone, reminiscent of grand French buildings. Oyster-colored silk drapes in the living room and nearby kitchen cabinets contrast with the deep red sofa and accents. A geometric-patterned rug ties the tan, oyster and red together. Marina declares "The color is enveloping me. I feel I've come home."

Did You Know? Red is the traditional color of French nobility.
