"Country" in English means "village". And immediately it becomes clear that it is the country style that is ready to offer to us.
There are several versions of where this style originated. Many countries are strongly associated with America in the years of its intensive development, with the wild West cowboys. Some believe that this style was invented by Scandinavian designers, who tried to create an interior that has simplicity and high ecological compatibility of materials. But the main thing is not who created this style, but what it is and has a large number of fans around the world. And in our time, when we talk about country style, we mean most often a generalized image of village life, simple furniture that was available to the villagers. So the furniture in Russian houses, in Swiss chalets, on American ranches, in English cottages, and even furniture in the style of Provence can be called one word - country. Just each nation brings its colorful features to the interiors and furniture. And I think in many villages of any country people do not even realize that the furniture in their house is made in the country style, and they just live surrounded by the things that their grandparents used.
Furniture in the style of the country has the following distinctive features:
- massive and deliberately rough,
- surfaces are rough, unpolished,
- shades, usually light,
- the form is correct, classical,
- furniture old or aged artificially,
- furniture is made by hand or creates the impression.
Usually for interiors made in the style of country, wicker or wooden furniture is taken. In this style, you can design any room or the whole house. When choosing furniture, try to decide which style of the country you most like. After all, having common characteristic signs, furniture of different countries has its own differences. And remember that such furniture looks more advantageous in large rooms.
Kitchen furniture in country style
If you want to decorate the kitchen in a country style, then kitchen furniture should be chosen so that the overall appearance of the kitchen makes impression of simplicity, comfort and coziness. In this case, do not necessarily seek to buy a kitchen set. You can buy items individually, the main thing is that they combine with each other. Kitchen furniture should be made of solid wood, all modern equipment must be hidden behind the doors of lockers. If the kitchen furniture is in the style of Provence country, then it can be decorated with carvings or decor in the form of drawings, ornaments. Furniture in the style of English or American country, on the contrary, simple, without ornaments. The dining table is better to choose a large, wooden. There will be a slide or a sideboard for dishes, as well as a small soft sofa or a wooden bench with cushions.
Children's country style
Often the country style is used for the interiors of the children's room. This is explained by the fact that children's furniture, like all furniture in the country style, is made of solid wood, it completely eliminates the use of chipboard and MDF. Therefore, such furniture is the most durable and environmentally friendly. And this, perhaps, is the most important criteria in the selection of things for our children. Most often in the country style, rooms for boys are set up, as they are more impressed by simple and rude furniture than, for example, the refined beauty of the classical style.
Cushioned furniture
Upholstered furniture in country style is a sample of comfort and coziness. It seems that she asks: sit on me, lie down, relax. Country beds are usually large, with a wooden headboard, sofas and armchairs are of a classic shape and very soft. Country furniture is covered with a natural cloth of warm tones. The color can be any: strips or large flowers, small peas or a cage.
