Probably each of us home is a place where we rest from our labors and gaining strength. The interior of our house, its atmosphere should help in achieving this goal. What holiday could be better than a soft striped chair in where you can get from a book, and warm orange curtains on a rainy day when you do not want to go out? If you are close to the philosophy of comfortable home, then go in search of wicker furniture, wooden cabinets or drawers with a touch of antiquity, beds with carved headboards, concise tables and chairs. All of this – country style. Country in translation from English – the village, the countryside.

"Roughness" of furniture can be mitigated pretty trinkets and interior enhancements, rich colors. Country style is perfect for a country house design, but its main features can be played as well in a modern apartment. These days, country said goodbye to the naive simplicity of the village and became more sophisticated and elegant, while retaining the main advantages – the lack of pretentiousness, soft, romantic, close to nature. A special place in this style is textiles.

For the country is characterized by natural materials, often used linen, cotton. Colours – Cage, bar, and, of course, a bright summer floral designs a wide variety of colors. It is best to use close to nature paint in green, terra cotta, ocher, the color aqua, blue clear sky, the color of natural wood and soft-pink sunset. The main condition – the color should be pleasing to the eye and not to be gloomy. This is sort of the motto of the country-style colors. If you want to design your interior in a country style, the first thing to note – the walls and floor. Walls can be painted in a plain natural color. If you are using wallpaper, then they must choose a strip with understated geometric or floral pattern. Parquet flooring, solid wood, fruit and exotic trees will help create a lively and sophisticated atmosphere in your home. The next step in the creation of our interior design – furniture. Fine, if you were prababushkiny cabinets and drawers. They can restore a little remake and they last for many years, decorating the house and giving it personality. If the "antiques" you have not got a legacy – not a problem. Interior salons will offer country-style furniture, made with modern factories – the French, British, Italian, German. The last and very important touch – textiles. Hang in a window bright cheerful curtains that create a sense of summer in a room and cheer up. On the table lay a snow-white lace tablecloth. Lay on the couch colorful pillows. In the rural interior looks great live green. Put on the windowsills and floor ceramic pots with green plants and vases with fresh flowers. Country style does not like the geometric definition, the light "mess" with plenty of sun flowers, vases, paintings, greenery, pillows and simple furniture will not irritate the eyes, rather the opposite – calm down. The desire for comfort, peace and tranquility – the red thread in the fabric of country style. And can comfort go out of fashion?
