Country Decor Ideas
- Use vintage pieces, such as delicate tea cups, when decorating in a country style.tea cups image by Piotr Wardy...?ski from Fotolia.com
Use farmhouses and pastoral landscapes as inspiration when designing a country-inspired home. Country decor embraces comfortable fabrics, mismatched patterns, rustic furniture and natural elements. Get creative by turning favorite vintage items into country-inspired home decor. When decorating your home with a country flair, look for handmade details such as embroidery and stenciling. - Create a charming country-inspired kitchen tablescape for a themed party or everyday use. Set the tone by choosing a red, yellow, blue or green gingham print tablecloth. Fill a galvanized bucket with water and top it with floating flower or fruit-shaped candles. Use a small wooden crate to hold napkins, salt and paper shakers and silverware.
- Country textiles are constructed of soft cotton for a relaxed look and feel. Hang vintage white curtains featuring hand-embroidered apple, banana, lime, orange and cherry details. Roll up clean red bandannas as country-inspired cloth napkins. Add warmth to a couch or bed with an antique patchwork quilt.
- Enhance your home with farm-fresh decorative accents. For simple and colorful coffee table decor, fill a large wood bowl with vibrant oranges, lemons and limes. Plant a mini herb garden in a rectangular terracotta pot and display it in a kitchen window. Use a rustic woven basket to hold orange and green gourds and small pumpkins as autumn harvest-inspired decor.
- Accent a country-inspired home with farmhouse style furniture. A kitchen table constructed with reclaimed barn wood looks charming and is eco-friendly. Display mismatched china plates or tea cups on a vintage pie safe. Hang towels over antique whitewashed chairs in the bathroom or roll them and display on the seat.
