Country Style Interior Design

The idea of Country Style in Interior Design incorporates an array of different looks such as English Country Cottage Style, the French Country Style of Provence or the rustic Country Style of Americana.

Country Style is all about creating a comfortable, welcoming, cosy live in home. A home where guests instantly feel at home and are able to relax in a living room or to enjoy sharing a pot of tea and slice of homemade cake in a beautiful country kitchen.

Furniture used in Country Style leans towards the solid and practical, and is combined with textured, colourful fabrics. Imagine the solid oak dining table pictured right set in an English Country Kitchen. Add colourful padded seat pads to either the white cross backed chairs, or to solid oak cross backed chairs.

A solid kitchen dresser positioned against the wall is the perfect storage solution. Choose a dresser with vast cupboards below in white to hide away clutter, and open shelving above on which to display brightly coloured mugs and crockery, napkins, photographs or personal treasures.

The combination of white and oak furniture is extremely effective for creating Country Style. Create a cosy living room by adding a New England Coffee Table amongst large comfortable sofas covered with bright cushions and throws of various colours and textures. A soft bright rug underfoot encourages your guests to kick off their shoes and relax in comfort.

For more inspiration and ideas, we thoroughly recommend “At Home with Country“, a Cabbages & Roses publication by Christina Strutt.
