Country style interior design

Apartment and house owners are looking for more and more ways to design their homes. Among the many styles familiar to them from design magazines and professionals, there are big concepts such as country-style interior design or a modern country-style home. However, in practice, they are not always clear about what the country style is, and what makes it so unique. What materials can be found in homes designed in this style, what is the flooring that creates the atmosphere of a small, picturesque village in Europe, and what small details can give the four walls the wonderful atmosphere of a pampering home? Before you replace the lighting fixtures, the flooring, and the curtain in the bathroom, it is worth understanding in depth what style is right for you.

What characterizes houses designed in a country style?

In general, houses designed in a country style are houses in which the dominant shades are the most natural and warm. Cream and beige star here alongside brown and earth, and touches of gray also fit well into the concept. These homes also feature parquet flooring that helps create a pleasant and inviting atmosphere, and natural stone appears in various places, for example in the wall coverings in the living room or kitchen. All of this is complemented by furniture and textile items that complete the picture, and thus a modern country-style home is designed that combines wooden furniture with soft-colored pillows. The combination of the various materials and shades was carefully chosen to ensure maximum balance, without overloading with details.

The appropriate lighting for a Provence-style home
A modern country-style home is largely reminiscent of the exciting houses in Provence, the ones that give a magical and unique feeling when we recognize them from afar. A peek inside these buildings reveals all the small details, including the abundant light that emanates from all sides, despite the use of relatively neutral lighting fixtures. In this way, they only provide a solution to a need, but do not take over the design at all. On the other hand, small and spectacular lighting fixtures are scattered throughout the space, from the island in the kitchen to the small dresser next to the sofa. The gentle light that illuminates selected corners each time is what helps us create an unusual atmosphere throughout the house.

Country-style interior design – and the raw materials
When we talk about country-style home design, we talk about natural materials, and in particular materials like wood or stone. We mentioned them in relation to wall coverings or flooring, but we will also encounter these materials in other places, and we will combine them with small items like a straw basket in the bathroom or a woven rug in the work area. The main goal that accompanies the Lev Architecture office in planning the right design for you is to create a precise combination between the inviting, rustic design style and your personal needs, while giving honor to your design preferences. In this way, you can design a modern country-style home that suits the lifestyle of the entire family, and create a warm and luxurious home where you can enjoy every moment, in every corner.
