Country style is first of all comfort, warmth, simplicity and naturalness.
Color and pattern
The main feature of this style is the use of natural delicate shades that can make the interior simple and sophisticated (white, pale blue, light green, beige). Contrast and saturation are highly discouraged. Bright colors will only make things worse. They can be present only as small decorative elements. A thin strip, a pale check and a lace pattern will help to emphasize the rustic style most advantageously.

However, it is not necessary to decorate all the walls with it, you can create a small corner by decorating only part of the room. In the decor of apartments, designers quite often turn to wood panels. However, you should also be extremely careful with them so as not to overload the interior.
