Country Decor & Furniture

As American as apple pie, country furniture makes houses feel like homes. Country-style touches like quilts, metal accents, wall decor and cozy, homespun beds with stained wood frames are the hallmarks of this style. There are plenty of country decorating ideas for every room in the house, too. More

Living Room

When considering country living room ideas, keep in mind that this look has a bit more range than rustic or cottage layouts. A distinctly American country-style living room might incorporate the reds, whites and blues of the flag or take on some Southwest flavor with brilliant turquoise and terracotta hues.

Establish the foundation of your living room with a country sofa. Simple, no-frills leather couches are a good start, as are wood-framed plush sofas styled with throw pillows that coordinate with your Americana color scheme. Complete your layout with a country coffee table and a pair of comfy upholstered chairs.

Dining Room

Give your guests a warm welcome with a country dining room set. Start with a color palette that incorporates barn red, muted yellow tones and distressed light blue and weathered white finishes. Browse for oak or chestnut country tables and consider Windsor spindle chairs to give your look some vintage rural appeal.

In casual kitchens, you can achieve the same look by selecting a similar color scheme and surrounding a counter-height table or your central island with comfy country stools. If your kitchen or breakfast nook gets a lot of natural light, look for a country table and chair set with a golden pine or maple finish to create a bright sunny spot for daily meals.

Bedroom

Not sure if you want to commit to this theme for the whole house? Start with a few country bedroom ideas before you decorate the other parts of your home. Few things are as comforting as country bedding sets and being surrounded by the warm, inviting colors and textures linked to this downhome motif.

When choosing a country bed, you'll have plenty of options when it comes to frames. Wooden sleigh, poster and panel beds are ideal for this theme. If you want to try a Southwest motif, consider pairing a wood-finished country bed with a teal dresser and a whitewashed nightstand. Look for country bedding sets with Western prints and patterns to create the perfect vibe.

Decor

Is there anything more satisfying than putting the finishing touch on your living room, dining room or bedroom layout with just the right pieces of country decor? Consider country wall decor like floating shelves, homey signs and rural or rustic artwork for the family room. Or, opt for a set of country bookshelves to display your favorite novels and other treasures.

For your dining room, search for country decor that's beautiful as well as practical. Fill country cabinets and curios with metal milk pails and pale blue pitchers filled with dried flowers. Or, replace your side chairs with a pair of country benches on either side of your dining room table.
