Types of Country Home Decor Supplies

Country style homes are so casual and warm that you instantly feel comfortable upon entering them.  This is because there are a lot of old-fashioned, shabby chic items used in decorating these homes.  Such items tend to have a serene effect upon your senses.

• Use coral, rust, taupe or sage green paint to make the walls look fresh and comforting.  Colors such as off-white, lemon yellow, robin egg blue and soft pink give your home a fresh air feel.


• Use textured wallpaper or wallpaper with vintage prints (i.e. cabbage roses, a toile pattern) to add warmth to a room.


• Overstuffed furniture with plaid, floral or an outdoor scene to their fabric is oftentimes used.


• Furniture is accented with lots of color-coordinated pillows and soft throws.


• Upholstered chairs are used in the dining room.  Another option is to add country style pads that match the wall color to your chairs.


• Lace and crochet doilies are used on end tables.


• Table runners are used on the dining room table.


• Antique weather vanes and straw baskets are used to give a room a natural or vintage look.


• Warm tones in pottery filled with flowers are also popular.


• A colorful patterned rug should be placed in front of the fireplace or the sofa, especially if you have vinyl or wood flooring.


• Wood ceiling fans offer up a safe breeze while providing light.


• Floor and table lamps throughout your home create a cozy feeling.


• Artwork and framed pictures on the walls depicting outdoor and family scenes are popular.
