To create a stylish interior design, the pattern should be repeated on some items (dishes, upholstery, wallpaper);
• when choosing the color scheme of the situation in the country, it is advisable to give preference to light shades. This technique will visually add freshness to the interior and space of a room of any size. You can dilute the monotony with bright interesting country elements: paintings, pillows with elegant pillowcases, small rugs;

  

• it is recommended to minimize the use of plastic or metal objects, parts in the environment;
• wood furniture will add originality to the interior of the cottage, especially if there are surfaces finished with wood inside. It is recommended to use coniferous wood when decorating country walls – it perfectly retains heat in the cold season and saves from the summer heat;

There are several design trends in the design of individual rooms that will organically complement each other and create an ideal environment for relaxing from the hectic city everyday life in a small cottage.

Provence rustic chic

For this direction of country interior design, it is common to use rough internal textures (masonry, wood panels), natural finishing materials – striped or flowered wallpaper. The main elements of the country house furnishings: stone floor, fireplace, wooden wall panels, furniture of simple shapes.

The use of ruffles and bows in the design of window textiles will be an original idea. The use of flower arrangements made up of herbs looks unusual as a decor for a summer residence.

Country style

A characteristic feature of this style of interior in the country is the use of unpolished furniture with the effect of antiquity. It is better to choose things of concise and strict forms, with a minimum of decorative elements (handles, accessories). Almost all dacha furnishings have limited functionality, so the interior of a wooden house is dominated by simple lines and textures. It would be appropriate to use rattan furniture or forged objects in the country.

Textiles on the windows, tablecloths can be decorated with discreet hand embroidery. Dishes are selected from porcelain or wood. The cottage must have a fireplace (or its imitation). The role of decor is performed by small paintings.

This design will certainly appeal to fans of minimalism. Style features are modest decor, the predominance of white from the inside of the country house, the presence of wide window openings. For unhindered access to daylight, curtains are not hung on the windows of the dacha (or transparent light textile fabrics are used). The color scheme of the interior contains blurry shades of gray, brown, blue.

The main advantage for giving this direction in design is a minimum of items to create a discreet light environment.

Old paint on furniture and steps must be peeled off, surfaces sanded and repainted. It is desirable to clean metal objects to a shine.

Textile material is better to use natural – cotton, linen, chintz. Colorful curtains perfectly decorate the windows. Self-woven rugs will look stylish as a floor decoration. An original idea for decor is sewing chair covers.

Kitchen accessories will perfectly complement a shiny samovar. It is desirable to choose dishes made of cast iron, wood or clay. All kitchen utensils are best placed on open shelves.

Conclusion

Creating an individual interior in the country is not at all difficult. It is enough to have a desire to bring the spirit of harmony, naturalness into the rooms. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money on this. You can simply give a “second life” to old things by carefully restoring them.

The main thing is that things should be organically combined and not look solid, but completely alien and out of place.
