Modern Country French Kitchen With White Oak

Such a lovely renovated modern country French kitchen with understated, unfussy charm imagined by Joanna Gaines! We’ll peek at the design details and adjacent sunroom within this French country Texas home which received a whole house makeover. Known as The Club House, the kitchen went from forgettable and cramped to luxe and lofty. If you are a fan of French country and saw the episode (HGTV’s Fixer Upper Season 5, Episode 11), you may admire the resources and ideas supplied here.

Modern Country French Kitchen With White Oak

White Country French Kitchen With Rustic Elegance

What a difference came when Joanna Gaines vaulted the ceiling to increase the feeling of spaciousness. The white oak beams and hardwood flooring keep things warm, natural, and traditional.

Further distinguishing the identity of the modern country French style (or Modern French depending on your perspective), antiques and various rustically elegant features were added. The chandelier, for example, sets a very French country tone.

If you’re a fan of HGTV’s Fixer Upper kitchens, you’re aware how many of them include white subway tile and shiplap. But none here! In fact, there aren’t the usual modern farmhouse floating shelves either. I personally love the symmetry of the doors flanking the range and breathtaking custom hood.

Andrea Gibson open heart quote. #heartquotes #andreagibsonquotes #andreagibsonpoetry

This timeless kitchen’s color story is quite muted and pale. The contrast of light stained wood doors (and cremone bolts!) on the unique hutch with glass doors plays a starring role. All of the glass in the piece allows natural light to stream into the kitchen. If you watch Chip and Joanna then you know they creatively usher more light into spaces.

Need permission to vary your flooring from room to room? You can’t miss the stone (reclaimed from a French Chateau) within the sun room which adds a sense of age and history.

Rustic elements include texture from natural wood on the island, hardwood flooring, and stools. The distressed whitechandelier and vaulted ceiling beams also keep the less fussy and informal vibe vibing. However, this white modern country French kitchen still feels elegant and serene with custom details and a restrained palette.

Interested in scoring a similar look? I looked for pieces that felt French inspired with friendly prices, and here’s what I landed on:

Kitchen Backsplash Tile Idea

If you’re building or renovating and know for certain you’ll be adding a tile backsplash to your kitchen, I highly recommend letting your choice inspire the balance of the design elements. This charming tile, for example, could be the inspiration to choose paint colors, cabinets, and more.

Whimsical & French Inspired Light Fixtures

You can also allow your lighting choice to make a statement about your style direction. For an informal, country kitchen, a candle-style chandelier sets a homey tone.

If you’re lucky enough to find vintage fixtures to rewire, what a blessing! But if not, there are plenty of gorgeous reproductions.

Don’t these choices add instant age and character?

Can you mix metals?

It depends. It’s absolutely okay to mix them. But I think it depends on your tolerance. If you are the type who would be bothered by the mix, maybe just limit the mix to silver tones (polished nickel, chrome, pewter) or gold tones (gilded iron, brass, antique brass, etc.).

The Club House Kitchen: White Oak Flooring

There are options beyond natural wood to get that white oak look if you’re open to LVP.

This particular LVP is almost identical to the vinyl plank we put in our own renovated kitchen:

Bridge Faucet Idea for a Traditional Look

Even though the faucet incorporated into The Club House kitchen design is more of a modern option, my vision for a white modern country French kitchen includes a bridge faucet. The option below is affordable and also comes in brushed nickel.

French Style Bread Boards

These beautiful rustic boards could fit nicely with the rest of the decor and fixtures in The Club House kitchen. You actually find them in the sun room attached to this space.

Gorgeous and rustic, these vintage French bread boards will add authentic character and decor to your French farmhouse, country French, or European country inspired space!

Breakfast Bar & Island Stool Ideas

There are so many options to get the look of this inspiring Fixer Upper kitchen. Since there is no need to copy the exact stools, you’ll notice I found these are in the same spirit.

I actually favor these options more than our inspiration stools!

Natural Woven Rug

In the inspiration kitchen, there are multiple moments with natural wood finishes, and another way to introduce natural texture is with a jute rug or runner.

These muted gray and natural towels remind me of those seen in our inspiration kitchen, and they may work with any number of designs.

Inspiration from The Club House Sun Room

The sun room in the French country renovation is my favorite room from this whole project!

Warm terracotta floors, a gorgeously rustic fireplace, deconstructed linen upholstered chairs, vintage accessories, and a casual dining table and chairs add up to a warm place to snuggle or have breakfast.

    I just have to comment. Trying to decide on a white color for my bedroom so I thought I would look at your blog, which I reference so often, thank you so very much. I was just going to take a minute as I planned to start getting busy. Thought I would just grab my coffee to look for “just a sec”. That’s a joke, of course I got carried away with your site. I actually laughed out loud at your quote about the coffee telling me lies about how much I would get done today!!!!! So true! Anyway I had to tell you how much I love your blog. It is full of beautiful decorating tips, but also so inspirational and comical!!! You do a fantastic job and are so very positve dealing with adversity. l wish you could come over and have coffee with me right now. Thank you again, Lee

      Hahahaha – I know just what you mean about going down the rabbit hole, and I’m happy it’s my site calling you forth! Thanks for being here, and I’d love to have coffee with you. Do you add collagen to yours as I do? Needing to caffeinate this minute. Good gracious. What is it about overcast, drizzly days that makes it impossible to move my muscles. LOL.
