Some summer residents do not want to pay attention to the interior decoration of the house. People are used to thinking that they go to the dacha only because of the work in the garden. However, times are changing. The interior of the country house gained great importance, since many garden-lovers began to travel out of town for the whole summer. And the desire to relax in the evening in a comfortable and cozy country environment is quite natural.
So that the dacha does not turn into a warehouse of unnecessary things, you can apply some ideas from magazines or the Internet. Of course, no one is planning big spending on furnishing. However, it is quite possible to give calmness and neatness to the interior of a small country house.
Basic rules for arranging a country room
If you fulfill simple requirements, then it is not difficult to create an atmosphere in the rooms, saturated with the natural beauty of natural materials.
Such an atmosphere in the country house will distract from the bustle of the city and will not look like the design of an apartment:
- the interior of a country house must necessarily emphasize the division of the room into different zones: kitchen / dining, work, resting places;
- the creation of soft lighting in the rooms in the country (with the exception of the working corner), which will not be intrusive to the eyes, is encouraged. For this purpose, you can use matte shades or handmade knitted lampshades;
- curtains and other country textiles (bedspreads, tablecloths) should preferably be chosen from natural fabrics (linen, cotton). Small patterns or ornaments on country curtains will look fresh and bright. To create a stylish interior design, the pattern should be repeated on some objects (dishes, furniture upholstery, wallpaper);
- when choosing the color scheme of the situation in the country, it is advisable to give preference to light shades. This technique will visually add freshness to the interior and space to a room of any area. You can dilute the monotony with bright interesting summer cottage elements: paintings, pillows with elegant pillowcases, small rugs;
- it is recommended to use as little as possible plastic or metal objects and parts in the setting;
- wood furniture will add originality to the interior of the cottage, especially if there are wood-finished surfaces inside. It is recommended to use coniferous wood when decorating country walls - it perfectly retains heat in the cold season and saves from the summer heat;
- if financial issues do not allow you to purchase new furniture for a summer cottage setting, then you can restore old items with your own hands. For high-quality work, first it is better to carefully study all the subtleties of this process;
- it is the small elements of the country decor (vases, handicrafts, framed photos) that will add uniqueness and charm to the atmosphere.
You should not bother too much about the strict correspondence of the dacha furnishings to any particular style in the interior. There is some sophistication in mixing different close design directions.
Nuances of country interiors of different styles
There are several design trends in the design of individual rooms, which will organically complement each other and create an ideal setting in a small cottage for a break from the hectic city everyday life.
Rustic chic of Provence
For this direction of design of the country interior, the use of rough internal textures (masonry, wooden panels), natural finishing materials - striped wallpaper or flowers is characteristic. The main elements of the country house furnishings: stone floor, fireplace, wooden wall panels, furniture of simple shapes.
The use of ruffles and bows when decorating window textiles will be an original idea. As a dacha decor, the use of flower arrangements made up of herbs looks non-standard.
Country style
A characteristic feature of this style of interior design in the country is the use of unpolished furniture with an antique effect. It is better to choose things of laconic and strict forms, with a minimum of decorative elements (handles, accessories). Almost all furnishings of the summer cottage have limited functionality, therefore simple lines and textures dominate in the interior of a wooden house. It will be appropriate to use rattan furniture or wrought iron items in the country.
Textiles on the windows, tablecloths can be decorated with discreet hand embroidery. The dishes are selected from porcelain or wood. There must be a fireplace (or its imitation) at the dacha. Small paintings play the role of decor.
Features of the Scandinavian interior in the country
This design will certainly appeal to fans of minimalism. Features of the style are modest decor, the predominance of white from the inside of the country house, the presence of wide window openings. For unhindered access of daylight, curtains are not hung on the windows of the cottage (or transparent light textile canvases are used). The color scheme of the interior contains blurry shades of gray, brown, blue.
The main advantage for giving this direction in design is a minimum of items to create a restrained light atmosphere.
Russian country style
The main feature of such an interior in the country is natural softness, the absence of pretentious decor. The furniture is wooden, decorated with carvings. The staircase will also be refreshed with carved elements (balusters, pillars). It will be organic to use old products in the country. It is advisable to update the furnishings at least a little. Old paint on furniture and steps should be peeled off, surfaces should be sanded and painted again. It is advisable to clean metal objects to a shine.
It is better to use natural textile material - cotton, linen, chintz. Colorful curtains perfectly decorate windows. Self-woven rugs will look stylish as a floor decoration. An original idea for decor - sewing chair covers.
Kitchen accessories will perfectly complement a shiny samovar. It is advisable to pick up the dishes made of cast iron, wood or earthenware. All kitchen utensils are best placed on open shelves.
Conclusion
It is not at all difficult to create an individual interior in the country. It is enough to have the desire to bring the spirit of harmony and naturalness into the rooms. You don't have to spend a lot of money on it. You can simply give a "second life" to old things by carefully restoring them. A little fresh ideas in the form of curtains of an interesting cut, furniture covers will add style and neatness to the atmosphere. The main thing is that things are organically combined and do not look solid, but completely alien and inappropriate.
