Country, French country and primitive country are all styles of country furniture, each with specific elements that define the styles. Primitive country is rustic and simple with furniture made from twigs and pine. Country style furniture takes the simple, serviceable designs of primitive country and refines them to include polished pine and oak furniture with few, if any, frills. French country furniture styles combine the rustic designs of primitive with the more polished look of country with more frills like wood carvings and design patterns.
