Your home is a reflection of you and since you discover a new thing about yourself and change every day, your home also needs an upgrade every now and then. If you are someone who loves to keep up with everything trendy, you also must keep up with the latest trends in home décor.
One of the latest trends in home renovation and décor is going back to your roots. This is why country-home décor is so popular nowadays; it brings a refreshing change to the modern lifestyle we lead while helping us be nostalgic about our childhood. If you are also planning to redo your rooms and jump into this latest trend in home décor, here are some tips on how to decorate your house in the city in a country-house style.
- An accent chair is a great way to spruce up your living room. If you are looking for a country-style theme for your new home renovation, then a tufted floral accent chair is a must. Pick one with a floral design that matches the overall colour scheme of your room; there is no hard and fast rule that it has to match the rest of your furniture. In fact, having a floral accent chair in a room that has modern or minimalist décor can bring a splash of the country in your home.
- Every room of your home can have a touch of country style. To add some country style decor to your bathroom, use brass shower handles and other hardware. They will bring in an old-world charm to your otherwise modern bathroom. Another trick is to add a wooden stool, especially near your bathtub to keep your bath essentials. You can easily find such items online or if you want the authentic old ones, look at stores that specialize in antiques.
- As for your bedroom, you can find a wrought iron or an iron frame bed for that rustic look. Again, such furniture is easily available online and in your local furniture store. If you want something original, keep an eye on your local antique stores or auction houses. You can buy such old furniture, and then do a DIY project of scrapping the rust and old paint and then repaint it in the colour that matches your room paint.
- Similarly, for your dining room, you can look for wooden tables with iron chairs that will bring a rustic charm to your city life. To match the table, you can also find wooden bowls as centrepieces and other knick-knacks to decorate the table.
- Apart from an accent chair in your living room, another way to bring the country at home is by using an English roll arm sofa. This kind of sofa is not only comfortable to sit on but timeless as well. They often come in muted colours and so they’re perfect for living rooms that have a white colour scheme. So, a rustic setting can easily sit with your modern living room.
- Don’t want to spend too much on your redecoration but still want to follow the country style décor trend? Then add floral wallpaper to your walls. You can do it for just a room like your bedroom or even a section of your bathroom (to go with the brass hardware).
- As for your kitchen, find distressed wood from auction houses or even from old buildings you know are being torn down and use them as open shelves. Of course, you treat them well before. You can also look through your local thrift stores or antique stores to find vintage grocery signs and use them for your kitchen décor.
Our modern life is very fast and sometimes very tiring, which is why the rustic charm of country style décor is gaining popularity. They help us look back at the time when our life was slower and more relaxing. So, bring back that old world charm into your home by following any of these country-style décor tips.
