What is the french country style?
The French style is typical of the cottages and country houses of the north of France. It differs from the Provencal style for more sober and refined colors. French country is rustic and elegant, and soft colors and classic, aged furniture blend with padding and softness.

What is a French Country Bar Stool?
The French Country Accent Bar Stools echo the typical lines and materials of the French Country Accent Chairs that we saw in another article.
The soft lines, the soft colors, and the large padding express elegance and an invitation to relax. They have trusted companions around kitchen islands and can be adapted to various styles.
Which French country bar stool to buy?
There are bar stools both high and with a seat at chair height.
Their uses are obviously different; while the former serves as a connection point and to take advantage of the kitchen islands or the counters at the edge of the window, the latter are comfortable additional seats for the living room that requires little space or just to replace the chairs lunch, where space is limited.
To stay in style, choose a well-padded stool in soft colors. Below is our selection. What struck our imagination the most was the stool Engles. He has the right degree of padding for my tastes and enough backrest to allow me to sit for a long time without hunching my back. The colors and the style are obviously typical of the French country.
