French Kitchen Designs: A Kitchen Nook Off the Patio Brings the Outside In on a Chilly Morning
This charming dining nook typifies French kitchen designs, with its detailed window frame moldings and multi-paned glass that draws the eye to the patio and yard outside. The soft, sunny paint choices of yellow and cream echo the shades of the French Riviera. And what could better create a comfortable, relaxed vacation feeling than the wicker dining chairs, here scaled appropriately for indoor use and adding a touch of whimsy with their unmatched colors?
The graceful, small-scaled chandelier adds some curving lines to the geometry of the windows, and the diagonal upper panes keep the nook sunny while creating interest by themselves when the view they frame isn't noteworthy. Go ahead, open those double-hung windows. Rural French kitchens like this let in bird songs and the morning breeze while you contemplate a leisurely afternoon outside.
