Country decorating has long been one of the most popular home decorating styles. In the past this has included such elements of the style as handmade items, collections, and rustic charm. While country style will always epitomize down home warmth, its time to bring country design into the modern era. I call this decorating syle “Clean Country”, and heres how to get it.
Clean it up
Country decorating has been often accused of being “cluttered”. Clean country decorating is anything but! So it’s time to seriously edit and pack away all those little things that don’t contribute to the overall design scheme. Don’t go overboard though, country is about home and family, so you don’t want to eliminate everything that’s personal. Create a box of decorative items to store, and rotate favorite accents with the seasons.

Country home decorating can make your house feel like an actual home; it even works in apartments and condos. This decorating style allows you to repurpose the items that you have inherited or already have in your home to save money. Rustic style is also durable and comfortable so it’s perfect if you have kids or dogs.
Just because you are going with a certain theme or style doesn’t mean that the room can’t be specific to your likes and need. You can have an elegant country room or add a girly touch. Country decorating might seem cluttered but it doesn’t have to be. You can even make this style more modern by going with brightly painted furniture juxtaposed against a soft cobalt wall and then use big focal points in your room.
