Add a French country flair to your kitchen by decorating with red toile items. Cover your walls with toile-printed wallpaper, and coordinate with red kitchen towels and appliances. Since toile has an etched appearance, the pattern delicately enhances porcelain dishes; the plates are too pretty to hide, so display them in a glass-paneled cabinet.

Decorate your dining room with red toile prints. Place toile-patterned cushions on chairs, and use a coordinating table cloth or runner. Embrace French country style by choosing a rough-hewn wood dinner table, and install rustic, rusted metal lighting fixtures to give your dining room a warm glow. Natural stone tiles will complete the elegantly natural look.
