Whether you reside in a busy city or the suburbs of one, there’s something undeniably appealing about country living. After all, it was Laura Ingalls Wilder who said, “Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat.”
Both warm and inviting, the relaxed interiors that are often found in rural locales combine ease and comfort—achieved, in part, with an effortlessly curated mix of informal fabrics and traditional furniture styles—with a healthy dose of nostalgia (think antique accessories, worn wood pieces, and patinated finishes) thrown in for good measure.
Love the look? Here are ten design ideas that show up in every country home. Try them all at once or start with just a few in your house, then sit back and relax in your classic country cottage.
Choose a muted palette. Subdued blues, yellows, and greens inspired by nature make a soft statement that encourages relaxation in country homes.
Go with classic furnishings. Forget midcentury modern and opt instead for traditional styles with rounded edges and plush upholstery.
Make it cozy. Comfortable fabrics and materials create a warm, inviting atmosphere that’s sure to make you—and guests—feel right at home. Case in point: Upholstered cushions and furniture pieces in a breezy cotton gingham or ticking stripe instantly convey no-fuss country chic.
