Pro Tips:

It is much more important to internally feel free from the currents of fashion, to strive to create something of your own, unique. The style will appeal to lovers of wooden houses, tradition, as well as those who like to work with their hands and decorate the house on their own.

2. Handmade furniture, as well as embroidered towels and napkins, patchwork quilts, wicker rugs "from a grandmother's chest" are especially appreciated in country style. The interior will be pleasantly complemented by woodcarving or hand-made furniture, of course, if you are happy about it.

3. A distinctive feature of the country style in the interior is its low budget. Often a country house in country style becomes the abode of familiar and familiar things that once stood in a city apartment. In a country house you will never find exquisite antique furniture, monumental expensive armchairs and gilded candelabra. At the same time, not all Soviet furniture is suitable for country music, be more selective, giving preference to natural wooden furniture.

4. The country style in the interior is characterized by multicolor, but not bright, but rather thick, juicy, slightly muted. The color scheme is dominated by natural, often light and pastel colors.

5. In the design of walls, floors, windows, combined fabrics or fabrics with a similar texture, but different in pattern, can be used. When decorating a window, it is necessary to abandon complex draperies, they are completely compensated by the pattern and texture of the fabric - simple curtains with a minimum of folds.

6. A warm note of the country style interior will be a fireplace or a Russian stove. Emphasize the naturalness of the fireplace or stove, forgetting about the elite decor. The crackle of the fire, the rocking chair, the skin underfoot, the playful and romantic light from the fireplace - this is the simple formula of true country music.

Historical reference:

Country (eng. Country - country, locality) - an interior style that appeared in the middle of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century. It is impossible to call the style new, even at that time, since it combines objects from previous eras and styles. This style served as a stop for people, a rest from the rushing progress in a cozy interior familiar from childhood. In terms of meaning, the term country can be translated as "suburban, rural." Country implies a departure from any stereotypes and a journey into the past.

The second distribution of the term country (mainly in the USA and Canada) is "country music" (rural music) the most popular variety of North American folk music, not inferior to pop music.

Often, the country style in the interior is classified as one of the subspecies of romanticism, along with such styles as eco-design, marine and ethnic style. Against the backdrop of general progress, mass urban development and damage to the environment, there is an understandable desire for outdoor recreation away from the dusty city and gray buildings of the same type. It was then, in the middle of the twentieth century, that in the USSR and other countries of Europe and America it became fashionable to spend weekends in a summer house with the family.

The country-style interior is an image of a rural house in the style of the country in which it is located. In addition, the taste preferences of the owner of the premises can influence the style. A country-style house or apartment can be designed as an American ranch, a Swiss chalet, a Russian hut, as well as an English cottage and much more. Country still continues to attract people with its sincerity of the interior.

Nowadays, the country-style interior has said goodbye to rough rustic simplicity and has become more sophisticated, refined and modern, while retaining its main advantages - softness, lyricism, closeness to nature.
