Country: Fresh flowers are a country living room essential and look great in an old jar rather than a vase (reinventing uses for vessels is a great way to add country style). There is also a mix of modern and traditional pieces which gives the room a relaxed, up-to-date country look.
Getting the country look doesn't have to involve scouring fleamarkets for battered old dressers and chipped chairs. Many stores offer up-to-date pieces in solid wood with a strong, country style. This dresser, for example, has the solidity and craftsmanship of modern furniture but also the open shelves and broad lines of traditional country pieces. The table and chair are also new but their shape is inspired by older designs. |
