Development of the interior design of a country house is a process subject to certain requirements, but not a spontaneous decision of the designer. The art of design is based on unshakable foundations, and as a result, artists create beautiful country house interiors.
Basics
- Compliance with the interior of a single style.
- Features of the room (the shape and number of windows, the height of the ceiling, as well as the size of the rooms).
- Combination of interior decoration and architectural style.
Unity of style
The number of directions and styles in modern interiors is amazing. If earlier the direction of style was not particularly diverse, then today country houses, their interiors are possible for every choice and taste.
It can be a strict European style or a colorful oriental style. Often, experts turn to modern pop art or stylization of the Middle Ages. However, it is important to remember that a single stylistic line should be maintained in everything: vases, lamps, textiles, accessories, furniture andetc. Deviation from this requirement can lead to disharmony in the interior. Agree that a Chinese vase on a French-style fireplace would look ridiculous.
Illiterately arranged furniture, inconsistent styles, inconvenient placement of household items and lack of lighting cause general discomfort. This can provoke the cause of a bad mood and a violation of the psycho-emotional and physiological imbalance.
Country houses: interiors
As a rule, the design of each individual room is designed separately. For example, for a bedroom, you can choose a Japanese, with a deep philosophy, a unique style. The living room will be decorated with a French refined interior, made in a palace classic style. The interiors of kitchens in country houses with an abundance of metal and glass represent high-tech style. For a business office, you can use the ideas of minimalism.
In any case, whatever style you choose when decorating your country house, do not forget that it should be in harmony with your inner world and emphasize your individuality.
Gentle Provence
Provence in the interior of a country house is the main component of the Mediterranean style fashion. This style combines the warmth of southern motifs and sunny appeal. The Provence style is characterized by decor with signs of antiquity, excellent taste in furniture and especially delicate charm.
Layouts andthe interiors of Provence-style country houses have the following characteristics:

The popularity of the Provence style is due to its association with country life, reminiscent of the smell of meadow grasses, the sun and the sea. The aesthetics of this style are archaic and natural. The style is full of smooth and simple lines.
Chalet style
The interior in the style of a chalet in a country house is characterized by the following features:
- Cosy and warm.
- Naturality.
- Practical.
- Simplicity.
The chalet differs from other similar styles, for example, country, by practicality and conciseness. This style uses ceiling beams made from raw wood.
Very often raw materials are used in the interior:
- Roughlarge fireplace lined with natural stone.
- Protruding ceiling beams.
- Walls clad in wood or plaster, but not finished.
- Unpainted wooden floor surface.
In the interior, objects seem reliable, massive, stable, durable. It is these principles that combine the interior of a chalet-style country house, which makes it so popular.
This interior should be dominated by natural and warm shades:
- Caramel.
- Brick.
- Protection.
- Terracotta.
- Chocolate.
- Cream.
- Vanilla.
- Dark brown.
Natural calm colors, a fireplace, natural materials are the basic rules of the chalet. As for accents, burgundy or dark green shades will be the most successful.
As well as interior decoration, furniture is welcomed rough, aged, with a poorly treated surface, but not massive. For the living room, it is advisable to choose simple comfortable leather furniture - armchairs and sofas.
Indoor lighting should be soft. As a rule, designers prefer stable, heavy floor lamps, as well as an abundance of candles in wrought iron candlesticks. This lighting, combined with the fire in the fireplace, provides an atmosphere of warmth, peace, and tranquility in the room. After all, this is what is so often lacking in everyday life.
Shabby chic
Considering the styles of country houses, it is worth stopping atthe most romantic and at the same time cheap shabby chic interior. And if you do not chase after a rarity, then you will be able to create an interior literally for a penny.
The main sign of style is its color scheme. From finishing work to choosing furniture, everything should be done in light pink and pastel colors. Light blue, light green pink, milky white colors are also allowed, but in general the interior should look shabby and faded. No clear lines and no glossy texture.
It is worth noting that when finishing the surface of the walls it is not recommended to choose wallpaper, the best options in this case would be lighthouse plaster followed by painting or smooth putty.
The floor is not bad to make from boards, but if this is not possible, you can take a laminate or a parquet board, the main thing is to cover it all with a carpet, which should also be of a soft color.
Furniture needs special attention. It should be old, but at the same time solid. You need to be aware that the wear of time is not destruction, but only wear.
Japanese style loft
Many country houses have an attic. You should not use these rooms as pantries - for storing bicycles, old books, dusty things. A huge window, a lot of air, a sloping ceiling that comfortably hangs over the bed - if you approach the design of this room with a soul, it will constantly delight you.
Toemphasize the simplicity and purity of the attic lines and make the space even more “airy” and wide, decorate it in a minimalist style, “in Japanese style”. A wide and low bed, a couple of original details in the form of whatnots or vases, light colors - all this will make the interior of the cottage spacious and cozy.
"Magical" interior
Are you attracted by the odd and cozy interior of the Weasley family's house from the Harry Potter series? The cozy and eclectic interior is thought out literally to the smallest detail. The interior of the cottage combines at the same time slovenliness and incredible comfort. And a lot of original elements (a lamp, bumps on chairs) and designer gizmos (a clock with a pendulum) create a “magical” atmosphere.
Russian style
First, answer two questions:
- Did you love Russian folk tales as a child?
- Do you like the smell of wood?
If you answered yes to both questions, then maybe you should consider country houses, the interior of which will be decorated in accordance with traditional Russian motifs.
Chandelier that turns a room into a forest
The interior is given charm by numerous details. However, the details are so thoughtful and original that they almost completely form the interior. For example, a "forest" chandelier. One has only to hang a charming openwork chandelier made in the form of woven glass “branches” in the living room, nursery or bedroom, and the silhouettes of a fairy forest will instantly appear in the room.
Breakfaston swings
Country houses, the interior of which is complemented by this decorative element, look fantastic. What could be better than enjoying aromatic morning coffee while slowly swinging on a swing?
Spiral staircase
It is not necessary to go down from the second floor to the first on foot. After all, you can just slide. A ladder that you can slide down will especially appeal to young children and those who remain a child at heart.
Tickle your nerves
What if the bathroom was built right above a deep shaft, and the floor surface was made of durable glass? It must feel amazing every time you step into the bathroom.
Hammock in living room
Is it possible to find a more convenient place to place a hammock than the living room of a country house? Worth a try, maybe this is what you needed for complete relaxation…
