Village life, simplicity, convenience and ethnic flavor are the main features of the original country style. The room, decorated in this style, combines convenience, comfort and coziness and bears the trace of national traditions.
The very name "country", translated from English meaning "village", emphasizes these peculiar features. This is a friendly and welcoming style, not at all without grace and attractiveness, filled with interesting features and memorable details.
It is rural life that inspires fans of this style to create original interiors. Despite the fact that the American ranch is traditionally considered the basis of the country style, designers use it around the world, introducing the motives and national characteristics of their countries. This simple, somewhat naive style will surely appeal to lovers of home comfort and tranquility.
Ethnic flavor
The central part of the room, decorated in country style, you can make a table with chairs located around it. It is best to place them on a carpet that leaves part of the floor open. Instead of chairs, you can put soft chairs or make a large sofa the central element.
Natural motifs are dominant in the decor of this style, emphasizing its ethnic component. Indoor plants and dried flowers, as well as all kinds of ethnic crafts, will ideally serve to decorate the room. To diversify the space of the room, curtains made of natural fabrics (linen or cotton), sofa pillows, pencil or watercolor sketches on the walls will help. All elements must be simple and man-made, consisting of natural materials.
In such an interior, it is pleasant to spend evenings with your family, and therefore family photos in wooden frames will serve as an ideal complement to the decor.
Color and light
The color palette of country style should be light in order to emphasize its warmth and homeliness. Elements made of natural materials must be processed in such a way as to preserve their natural appearance, for example, wood texture on various surfaces will be very appropriate.
Solid color options are not usually used in this style, but bright, flashy tones are also inappropriate. The best option would be a floral motif and checkered colors. In this case, you can combine variations of checkered fabrics of different colors, while maintaining a balance of color harmony. To select a color palette, you should focus on the natural gamut and natural color combinations.
As lighting, a dim dim light is suitable. You can combine light sources using a chandelier, floor lamps and table lamps to create the right mood.
Using texture and texture
The materials used to create the interior in a country style must certainly be natural - this is a prerequisite. At the same time, their texture should be maintained and emphasized.
A good choice will be wallpaper stylized as fabric, decorative elements in the form of wooden beams, brick inserts. It is better to avoid the use of plastic and metal as far as possible - such materials do not harmonize with this style at all.
Country style can be used both for the design of a country house, and a city apartment - only your imagination can serve as a limitation for its use. It will look most harmoniously in the dining room or bedroom - the rooms, where it is possible to minimize the availability of equipment that destroys the country’s style basis.
In general, this friendly style is ideal for creating a cozy home atmosphere filled with warm memories and kindness.
