With influences from both America and Europe, this simple, inviting style is warm and approachable. With a range of variations such as the primitive, rough-hewn Rustic construction of Mexican furniture – or the softer lines, distressed finishes and hand-painted designs of romantic Cottage style, Country is very versatile.
Comfortable slipcovers or upholstery fabrics like flowery chintz, linen or hardworking denim, woven plaids and textured, nubby fabrics are common. Quilts, needlework and outdoor-themed accessories are all part of this relaxed and creative look.
