Rural construction
It is likely that you have also heard the phrase "country house" more than once. Beyond the fact that you imagine warm spaces, a rustic scent, and a comforting atmosphere, do you know exactly what it is? Country house is actually an umbrella term for European construction, as it embodies a wide range of styles: Tuscan construction, Provence style, and so on. The lines that characterize this construction are based on natural materials - from stone, through wood, to iron. The carpentry also has a rustic scent, with an emphasis on warm tones.

The Tuscan style, get to know:
So, one of the styles included under country house construction is the Tuscan style. If you have visited Tuscany, you probably also remember the houses that blend in with the green vegetation, and the almost picturesque scent. In Tuscany, the rustic flavor is the dominant flavor, with the emphasis often being on the match between the interior and the exterior. Most often, planning according to this style is carried out with the correspondence between the external environment and the interior in mind – thus creating a spectacular aesthetic with a rustic flavor. While the interior space uses natural materials, so too does the exterior with potted plants, green spaces, herbs and flowers. The dominant colors in a rustic design style are based on warmer shades such as brown, earth colors and also green tones.
The way to highlight the rustic atmosphere is also through various furniture that integrates into the space of rustic buildings. The choice here will also focus on more natural materials, so that wood is the most dominant material. Wooden furniture gives an intimate, family, rustic and warm tone, and when the desire is to adhere to rustic construction, they are the most suitable.

The lines that characterize the design of Provence
Another well-known countryside construction style is the Provence style. Here, the dominant colors are usually shades of cream, and here too there is a very wide use of natural materials, including wood and stone. These materials can also be expressed in the tiles on the floor, but also in the wall coverings that give a warm and rustic design envelope. The rustic look that many long for is expressed in every space in the house, when design elements can be combined in the kitchen, living room, entrance hall and even in the bedrooms.
Parquet flooring with a Provence-style design is very popular, when you can choose different types of wood during the flooring in order to create a boundary between the rooms. In everything related to parquet, it is worth sticking to natural parquet and abandoning laminate parquet, in order to sanctify the natural-raw material, both in its functionality and in the more natural shades. Any color not chosen gives the rustic flavor, and the choice in this case should be based on personal preferences. Additional elements that contribute to the rustic atmosphere include the familiar tiled roof, the beams that integrate both inside and outside the space, and of course the green and wild vegetation that creates a sense of life, dynamism, and nature.
