It is not surprising that country style has found its place in the hearts of Europeans, who decorate not only their country houses, but even city apartments in this style. And yet - what does country-style design look like?

Authentic American country style is first and foremost comfortable seating furniture. This includes a rocking chair in a traditional shaker style, upholstered furniture with numerous pillows and bedspreads. Striped or plaid upholstery is especially loved, but floral motifs are also common in American living rooms.

Very typical for country style wooden furniture, often having vintage look, as if it had been used by at least three generations of the family.

An amazing feature: it is not necessary that country-style interior items fit perfectly together. A dining table with four different chairs and two multi-colored armchairs gives the dining room a casual and warmer feel.

Different chairs around the dining table - why not?

The heart of the American living room is considered fireplace with a large shelf on top, in old American houses traditionally decorated with all sorts of trinkets. It does not matter if it is impossible to install a fireplace in your living room. A decorative wooden fireplace can become the centerpiece of the living room, additionally performing, for example, the function of a bookshelf.

The fireplace complements the interior in country style

A warm homely atmosphere in country style is created by colors such as red, brown, green, yellow. Accessories bring a touch of romance: traditional lamps, patchwork fabrics, carved wood, chests of drawers with small drawers - there is no limit to fantasy.

American bedroom furniture is also made of wood, although the bed may be metal, like a grandmother in the countryside. A shabby bedside table, a colonial-style chest of drawers, a cozy armchair and a kilt-patterned plaid - and the country-style bedroom is ready.

In the 21st century, however, neither the development of technology, nor the Internet, nor constantly emerging innovative materials have discouraged people from striving for home comfort, family hearth, nature, simplicity and naturalness. The embodiment of all this in the interior, without a doubt, is the so-called rustic style. However, when it comes to practical aspects, it turns out that despite the common features: the abundance of natural wood, floral ornaments and a little naive, rustic decor, there are a lot of varieties of rustic style. We invite you to consider the most characteristic features that distinguish American and English country from Provence or Russian country style in order to choose the option that is best for you.

The emergence and characteristics of the rustic interior style

Any country-style interior is an attempt to recreate the cozy country house of your grandparents, the decoration of which will be very different depending on which country we are talking about. Interest in this kind of decor arose at the beginning of the 20th century, when acquiring country mansions and summer cottages, many people around the world began to strive to recreate in them the comfort familiar from childhood, to become simpler and closer to nature.

Most often, this style is used to design a country house, but it may also be appropriate in a city apartment. The main thing is to immediately decide which rustic style of which country is closer to you. All rooms are usually decorated in a single style, but country style is especially popular in kitchen decor, where it seems especially homely and inviting.

General characteristics of country-style interiors:

  • simple, sometimes a bit rough wall and floor decoration
  • use only natural materials: wood, stone, natural fabrics. Plastic, chrome, sparkling metal and synthetic fabrics will be completely out of place.
  • forged furniture, aged brass and copper are acceptable in the decor
  • natural colors without bright color spots
  • furniture is usually made of solid wood, simple outlines without excessive decoration
  • attention to textiles: numerous curtains, tablecloths, rugs, blankets and napkins will be appropriate in any country style
  • characterized by small floral ornaments, a cage and small polka dots
  • love for handicrafts, crafts and unique, non-factory accessories

English country

The most strict and restrained variety of rustic style is the English country style. The English style assumes a rich color scheme mainly in dark colors, with a predominance of shades of dark green, red and brown. The furniture in the English country house is massive, solid, made of natural wood in dark colors, such as cherry or mahogany. A solid leather sofa, and a Scottish cage in the form of a pattern of blankets, curtains, tablecloths and small floral ornaments would be appropriate here. In general, English country pays close attention to textiles, from furniture upholstery to fabric wallpaper with appropriate ornaments. At the same time, simple painted walls are not typical for this style.

As accessories for the interior in the English country, you can choose lamps and utensils made of aged brass, porcelain, paintings with hunting scenes and landscapes, and a variety of antiques. This interior does not imply minimalism and perfect order, so an abundance of cute souvenirs, slightly worn leather upholstery, a lot of paintings and photographs on the walls will only give it an atmosphere of comfort, because your comfort is at the forefront here.

The American country-style interior is also distinguished by its solid solidity, however, it is devoid of any embellishment and pretentiousness, it is rather not an elegant cottage in the outback, but a solid hunter's forest ranch. Along with natural wood, such wood is characterized by the use of rough, textured stone in the decoration of walls and fireplaces, which are an almost indispensable element of the American country interior. Another characteristic element of such an interior is wooden ceiling beams, which can play an exclusively decorative role.

The color scheme of the American version of the country is much lighter and calmer, soft natural shades prevail. The walls are usually covered with plain light-colored paint or sheathed with wooden panels of an accentuated rough texture.


Traditional patchwork quilt

Textile design, in this case, is not given such close attention, although animal skins can be found as bedspreads or rugs or fabrics with traditional Indian ornaments. Accessories include hammered brass, copper and bronze items, thick vintage glass, handmade items such as a patchwork quilt and American flag motifs. Open slats with hooks for dishes, towels and any other items, decorative birdcages, hearts with the effect of artificial aging would also be appropriate.

The style of the French province was called "Provence" in honor of one of the regions in the south of France. Also being a popular variety of rustic style, it differs quite a lot from the considered English and American variants in its great grace, tenderness and femininity.

Provence is characterized by light colors in pastel colors with accents of lavender, mint, sand shades. The walls are usually decorated with decorative plaster or wallpaper in a small flower, and the floors are decorated with light-colored parquet with a pronounced wood texture.

Russian version of the rustic style

The domestic version of the country style also has its own characteristic features. Its main difference is the love for natural wood, because it recreates the atmosphere of an original Russian log hut. It, like American country music, is massive and rough, but instead of a fireplace, a bleached or tiled stove will appear in such an interior, and patchwork and Native American ornaments will replace lace tablecloths and napkins. The ideal option for decorating the walls will be wooden panels or imitation of real logs, a simple whitewash option is also possible.

As accessories, do not forget to use porcelain service, chintz curtains, a real samovar, a fluffy knitted blanket, painted Zhostovo trays and other items familiar from childhood, associated with a cozy grandmother's house.


What is a rural Russian house without a samovar?

Whichever version of the rustic style you choose, in any case, it will be distinguished by an atmosphere of home comfort and simplicity, allowing you to escape from the bustle of the city outside the window. One of the main advantages of this decor is also its relatively cheapness, because the furniture can be the simplest and by no means new, and many decor items can either be made by hand or found at the nearest flea market.

Many are familiar with the desire to recreate the atmosphere of a country house in an apartment.

So that the dynamism of city life is muffled by sincere, warm and atmospheric space.

Country style in the interior dictates just such canons.

It fits perfectly into modern apartments, while leaving the unique charm inherent in the villa.

Due to the fact that the style has many varieties and solutions, such interiors are very fond of professionals.

The style began to take shape in the mid-1920s. Urban interiors then began to be deliberately designed simply and close to the traditions of the village.

Due to the calmness and naturalness, the popularity of country interiors grew both in America and in Europe. By the middle of the 21st country faith took shape completely.

Considering that in each country the province has completely different traditions, the country style began to acquire features characteristic of a particular country.

Working with an apartment in any part of the world, according to the owner's preference, the designer can embody the historical style of another country.

This phenomenon is called ethno-country.

According to the territorial features of the country in the interior, it is customary to divide into:

  • American (common to all states);
  • English country;
  • Provence (French);
  • country Italy;
  • German;
  • swedish chalet.

  • patterns are only small and floral (textiles in a wide cage are acceptable in bedrooms).

It is necessary to strike a balance between warm, pastel finishes and furniture. So that everything does not merge, furniture should be chosen more saturated in color and texture.

The same principle works in reverse: with a dark finish - light furniture.

Designers divide country colors by preference. The most ideal group consists of colors such as beige, milky, sand, terracotta, brown.

The group, which can be safely used if you want to diversify the style, consists of olive, gray, green, pink and blue colors.

The upholstery is genuine leather, but fabric is also available. Wrought iron must be present in at least one piece of furniture.

Furniture is characterized by simplicity and clarity of form. A feature of the style is the lack of multifunctionality of furniture.

The style does not accept transformation systems, but prefers only one purpose of each object.

Taking into account the peculiarities of style, furniture manufacturers distinguish country music into special collections. Everything superfluous, not suitable for the style, is removed from the sets.

For each room use a separate furniture set. All furniture should emphasize the rustic spirit.

Any modern furniture is replaced by antique counterparts.

Recently, designers often combine several finishes.

Any floor coverings should be simple: homespun paths or rugs, a mat or cow skin.

Lighting

Chandeliers should maintain an antique style. The same applies to lamps. Lighting items such as candlesticks, floor lamps and candelabra are required.

Lamps are best used with cold light. Windows should not be covered.

Country loves natural light.

Decor

Textiles - the decor with the help of textiles is so diverse that only the study of country style photos in the interior can determine the general specifics of the direction.

Any element that fits the rustic idea will fit perfectly into the style. Two-tone fabrics (white and green) are often used, self-woven options are possible.

It is advisable to purchase curtains in the kitchen up to the middle of the window. Patterns of upholstery and textiles in the kitchen must match.

Style history

The concept of country in the interior was born in 1920-1930. and meant the presence of rustic decor elements. It was then that urban interiors, decorated in the traditions of a rural house, “climbed” to the peak of fashion. Country was finally formed in 1950-1960, when it won the hearts of Europeans, British and Americans with its frankness, naturalness and comfort. Precisely because each country has its own traditional rural interiors, the style began to adapt and change for each country and received many directions that absorbed the national rural flavor of different countries.

Country principles

Despite the different directions in style, it still has style-forming features that are preserved in all its varieties.

The color scheme of the interior composition in country style includes a natural palette of natural shades. There is brown, green, olive, sand, lavender, terracotta. Mustard, burgundy, yellow, blue, mint shades are used as color accents. Bright contrasting artificial combinations are excluded from the interior. Country style avoids bright colorful patterns. Chrome parts, glossy surfaces, neon lights are excluded - all these are attributes of urban styles.

Rustic country style uses natural materials for furniture and decoration. Wood is most often found as the main material in rustic and natural interior styles. The decoration of the rooms is selected modest, the walls and floors are chosen in plain colors or with wood ornaments, whitewashed walls or paper wallpapers.

Furniture is selected straight, with a clearly visible wood pattern. There is a rattan set, wicker items. Leather elements in the living room are matched to the color of the rest of the furniture. Upholstered furniture is allowed with a small pattern. Welcome vintage in the interior. Interior accents are placed just on the furniture, so it should be the most intense element of the interior composition. This effect is achieved by color contrast, that is, light furniture is placed on a dark background and vice versa. The main requirement is convenience. Multifunctional transforming furniture is an attribute of city apartments; country-style furniture is selected archaic and with a direct function. For example, a large, solid dining table should not unfold or replace a work area. Sofas and armchairs are selected a little vintage, as if they were inherited. The kitchen can accommodate a wooden cupboard. Chairs can be replaced by benches. There are bookcases in the living room. Bedside tables can be replaced by massive old chests.

There is an abundance of textiles; cotton or linen curtains, napkins, decorative pillows, blankets and rugs. Textile decorations are decorated with embroidery. Unobtrusive floral patterns are allowed, such as flowers and twigs. A checkered pattern is also allowed, but two-tone and uncomplicated. Carpets are also selected in a rural theme: it can be animal skins or stylization for them, mats, homespun carpets, woolen carpets with a high pile.

To decorate the kitchen, handmade dishes made of copper, ceramics or wood are used. In the kitchen, open storage areas are popular, then the dishes also become an additional element of decor. Shelves can also be decorated with spices, oils, vegetables, bouquets of dried herbs.

Contrary to expectations, the use of metal is not prohibited, but under certain conditions. Forged furniture and decor items, kitchen utensils made of brass or copper are welcome. But shiny metal surfaces are not typical for country music, only aged-looking elements are allowed.

There are many handmade accessories or things that are characterized by rural simplicity. Candlesticks and candles, live plants and a herbarium are welcome. Walls in country interiors should not be empty: they are decorated with paintings, ceramic dishes or stuffed animals.

The light in the country interior is selected in a warm color, multi-tiered and multifunctional. The living room welcomes the fireplace and candelabra. During the day, daylight dominates, the curtains should let in a lot of light. You should select antique chandeliers and lamps. Fringed floor lamps create comfort in the rooms.

It is worth noting that country is not a historically close rural style, but its tasteful stylization, interpretation in the conditions of a modern city. Ethnocountry is a mixture of several directions in the elements of furniture and decor.

american country

American country is not the ancestor of the style. It is characterized by the spirit of Californian farms, cowboy paraphernalia and hunting decor. The solidity and good quality of such an interior is achieved by using historical furniture and spatial scope. Animal skins, patchwork rugs and rugs, an abundance of portraits on the walls are a must-have interior item.

It was the country style that influenced the traditional interior styles in different countries precisely by bringing them out of rural life into city apartments. These styles include:

  • French Provence;
  • Swiss chalet;
  • English country;
  • german country;
  • italian country.

French rustic Provence style

French country, better known as Provence, is the most romantic version of it. This is the charm of the French province, simple elegance and a touch of antiquity. Characteristic features of Provence: the effect of antiquity, whitewashed furniture, openwork forging and floral motifs. The color scheme is built on delicate pastel shades, the most popular decor color is lavender. The environment, saturated with the rural flavor of the Provence region in the South of France, is conducive to a measured rest away from the noisy city. Provence style is suitable for romantic natures who appreciate peace and comfort.

Furniture in the Provence style is decorated with carved and forged elements, giving it a noble antique look. Provence is characterized by an abundance of textiles, decorated with ruffles, lace and embroidery. Impressionist works of art and landscapes depicting the nature of southern France will organically fit into the interior.

Swiss Chalet

The homeland of the interior style of the chalet is the province of Savoy, in the foothills of the Alps. The chalet is the style of the Alpine mountain villages. The unique local culture formed the basis of this direction. Very bright and northern interior, reminiscent of Scandinavian style in some elements. The chalet uses a minimum of decorative elements and a maximum of wooden textures. A distinctive feature is the abundance of panoramic windows.

Soft wide sofas and chairs with high backs have a slightly shabby, faded look. Low coffee tables, wooden cabinets with a natural texture. Warm textiles with national embroidery are selected: wool, fur, rough leather.

English country

English country is sustained with a unique British subtlety. Only in English interiors can an abundance of decor, textiles and furniture be combined with such stiffness and coldness, while creating comfort. In English country there are dark woody shades of beech and oak. They are matched with massive brown leather sofas and armchairs with traces of time. The living room is decorated with pride - a family library in tall cabinets. The floors are made of large boards with a bright wood pattern. An atmosphere of simplicity with a touch of historicity and elegance is carefully created. At the head of the living room is a large fireplace. Textiles with a Scottish cage and a rhombus-ikat ornament are actively used.

Country style in the interior - design with soul

Country style in the interior (country style) is one of the warmest and most comfortable styles, reminiscent of rural rural life. This is an interior that inspires peace and promotes relaxation.

It is good to use in the design of the bedroom, living room and kitchen.

If you have a lot of vintage items that are waiting to be used (chests, watches, grandmother's napkins and bedspreads) - this style is for you.

Style history

The emergence of country style is usually dated to the 1st half of the 20th century. Country in translation from English "country" is translated as "village" - in fact it is just a rustic style, inspired by memories of a grandmother's rural house.

However, the culture of the villages of different countries is different for everyone, so the country style has many “sub-styles”:

  • Italian country
  • German
  • French
  • Russian (in our opinion, the rustic style of the Russian hut), etc.



Country style was first talked about in the first half of the 20th century, as many were tempted to furnish their home in the spirit of their grandmother's country house.

Today we will discuss the features of country style, characteristic of any country (sub-style).

Country style in the interior: distinctive features

In order to understand the features of country style, you need to imagine fields, meadows, a village and feel how close the style is to folklore.

Here are some qualities that characterize country style:

  • Cozy mess (open shelves, napkins and blankets in the spirit of the grandmother's house)
  • Feeling of lightness and freshness
  • Simplicity and some uncouth roughness (rusticism) in large details and femininity and naturalness in small ones

What forms the country style in the interior? There are 5 main principles:


Finishing for country style

We turn to the consideration of materials for the floor, walls and ceiling.

Floor

For floors, as well as for furniture, natural materials are used. Most often, wood is used - the basis of the style. Therefore, floor materials can be:

Definitely won't fit:

  • Linoleum,
  • Glossy/Chrome Tile with Modern Pattern

Ceiling

Usually ceilings are whitewashed or painted in light pastel colors. Everything should be simple and without frills. Often, wooden beams from timber or raw logs are used to give the desired effect.



Stretch ceilings will definitely not fit, since this is not observed in the grandmother's "house in the village" :-)

Walls

Since there are no even walls in a village house, the best option would be to imitate the texture. For this you can use:

  • Thick textural paints;
  • Rough plaster;
  • Wood paneling (lining, wall panels);
  • Vinyl wallpaper (inflated)
  • Textile wallpaper (vegetative pattern)
  • Paper wallpaper with polka dots / cage / stripes;
  • Stone for wall decoration;


Important! Remember the rhythm! Contrasting rhythm unhealthy and psycho-emotional background. Therefore, it is better to stick such wallpapers only on one of the walls. Let the rest of the walls serve as a neutral background.

Conclusion: Putting It All Together

Country style interior: styling

How to style the interior in country style? Let's talk about the components: furniture, doors, lighting and decor.

Furniture

Many people think that shabby and old furniture is used to create a country-style interior. Of course, you can do this (for example, use rare grandmother's chests to create uniqueness), but this is not at all necessary.

The main thing is that the furniture meets the main characteristics:

  • A little rough, painted
  • unpolished
  • Had straight lines and a minimum of decor
  • Was wicker / wooden / forged

Buffets, solid tables, benches, wall cabinets, open shelves look great. Baskets, chests, boxes, rocking chairs will be the perfect complement.


Idea: use chests instead of bedside tables in the bedroom

Lighting

In a country interior, they usually DO NOT use spot ceiling lighting, but use wrought iron or wooden chandeliers.


Although there are exceptions:

Candelabra, fabric floor lamps, candle lamps - all these lamps do not irritate the eyes and are beautiful when turned off, and therefore they will fit beautifully into the country interior.

Decor and accessories

To create and complete a holistic image of any interior, it must be supplemented with small details.



In a country interior, such details can be:

  • Live wild flowers in tubs
  • Porcelain items (dishes, for example)
  • Items made of bronze or copper (kettles, samovars, jugs, decorative figurines)
  • Wicker items (baskets, breadbaskets)
  • Boxes covered with a cover
  • clay pots
  • Paintings in homemade frames
  • Covers and pillows in patchwork technique + all decorative elements described in textiles.

What exactly won't work?

  • Chromed and glossy surfaces
  • Cutting edge technology
  • Plastic (since plastic had not yet been invented at the time the style was born)

Textile


Since it is country-style textiles that create the desired entourage, special attention is paid to it.

materials of course natural: chintz, cotton, linen, canvas, burlap. It is better to use coarser and stronger fabrics - wear-resistant.

Colors: small check, stripes, polka dots, floral motifs.

Features of the use of textiles in country style

  1. Textiles replace many things in the interior (for example, kitchen facades)



The valance is a floor-length decorative frill that is needed to hide the chests stored under the bed

  1. The floors are also covered with self-woven tracks.

Window

It can be both simple light curtains (“cafe”), and Roman blinds for the spirit of modernity.The main thing is to leave the feeling of a light breeze behind the curtain.

Tiebacks in the form of bows or coarse twine are welcome as well as a pelmet.

country style colors

Close to natural shades. These are shades of spiked fields, earth, nearby forests and crops, autumn foliage. Imagine a picture of a field: what colors are there? Sand, beige, blue (the color of the sky), or maybe soft pink (the morning sky).

In more detail, it could be:

  • Terracotta
  • Beige
  • Yellow (sunny)
  • White
  • Olive, green
  • Red (bright, in small breaths)

One of the important conditions is the observance of proportions. No color should dominate - for this, muted colors are used.

As a rule, on a light background (walls, ceiling) more contrasting accessories (chandelier, furniture). Contrast can be both in color and in lightness (tone).

I also offer you 2 options for the color palette: for modern country and for traditional.

  1. Palette modern country style is suitable for light and less cluttered interiors.

As you can see, these are the colors of a flower bed: blue cornflower, yellow primrose, delicate rose and green apple. They work well in a room with painted wood and plaid/striped fabrics.

  1. Palette traditional country music suitable for the dining room, living room, combined with dark wooden furniture and light fabrics with a floral pattern.

Advice: choose 3-4 colors from only one palette, never mix modern and traditional palettes in the same room! Also avoid the snow-white color - it does not have the necessary softness, it is too cold.

Where to use country style?

Most often, country style is used in the interiors of country houses and equip the living room, bedroom and kitchen. Why? Because these rooms can best reflect this style.

In a modern bathroom, where you want to use the latest technology, this is problematic. In such rooms, eclecticism is used.

Children's rooms and offices are also rarely made in this style for one simple reason: children are drawn to modern things, and an office without technology in the 21st century is not an office.

Results:

the main task- make country style light and really cozy. Must be stylish simplicity, and not stupid variegation. Avoid piling up things and you will succeed!
