COUNTRY LIVING ROOM FURNITURE
Country Living Room Furniture
Many of us dream of living in the country but if this is not possible, then bringing the country into our living rooms is the next best.
Maybe the popularity of country furniture and decorations has in part been inspired by old sepia photographs, films and pictures of an unhurried, comfortable and romanticized past.
The simplicity, the charm and the craftsmanship of the old and often cheaper furniture allows them to integrate into many types of housing.
American Country Furniture
Shaker furniture has become much loved for its simplicity and clean lines.
Popular too are the old painted chests with folklore motifs, the multicoloured, patchwork quilts and coverlets, the stencilled walls, floors and even painted on the wide, wooden floorboards.
Delicate framed samplers line the living room walls and old rocking chairs stand beside lovely old kitchen cabinets containing oldie-worldie treasures.
English Country Living Room Furniture
- English country furniture in the smaller, older houses, may seem to radiate a lived-in and cosy look.
- The furniture is often made from stripped or painted old pine or maybe mahogany.
- The sofa and armchairs can be found covered in loose, linen covers mainly in chintz and well-worn, showing the comfort it has given over the years.
- A typical floor covering may be an Oriental or Wilton rug.
- A dark colored fire rug may protect the surround of the fireplace and baskets full of wood and a set of fire irons may be found next to the grate.
- Family memorabilia will decorate the mantelpiece and arranged on surfaces around the room.
- Paisley patterned shawls may seen to be thrown over the backs of the sofas, so the inhabitants can wrap them around their shoulders on cold and draughty evenings.
When you are contemplating a new style of furniture, look through magazines and catalogues, visit houses of interests, get advice from interior designers and even visit the country where your type of furniture style is used. You may be able to buy pieces at auctions, markets, shops and sales.
GOOD LUCK and have FUN!
