Blooming HomesteadSo you've revamped your kitchen décor, upgraded your bedroom, and even organized your garage. That leaves one space in your home you really need to tackle: the living room.

When it comes to creating a beautiful farm style living room, there are a few things you can do to really make it stand out. Here are a few ideas:
Natural materials
One of the best ways to create a farmhouse look in your living room is by using natural materials. This could mean using wooden furniture, or adding some plants or flowers to the room. Try to use materials that match the rest of the house, so it looks like it all belongs together.

Adding versatile posters like Displates can spruce up the space and make it feel more welcoming and homey. To drive home the farmhouse theme, opt for vintage posters, landscapes or better yet, floral posters.
Keep it simple

Introduce some pattern

private house renovation ideas, beautiful interiors
The living room in the cottage is not just the center of the house, but also a source of pride, as well as a favorite resting place for the owners. Private ownership outside the city opens up endless possibilities for the realization of any design ideas, so decorating a guest room promises to be an exciting creative activity. The stylish interior resulting from the repair will delight the household, their relatives and friends for many years.
Interior styles
The design of a hall in a private house depends on several important factors: the general style of the building, the materials used in its construction, the layout and, of course, the preferences of the owners. Among the numerous design options for country buildings, ethnic motifs, Provence, country, chalets are the best fit. All these areas are united by the maximum proximity to nature, environmental friendliness and naturalness. The discreet classic style never loses its relevance, while lovers of novelty can experiment with youth eclecticism or create a dynamic fusion.
Classic living room
Living room in a classic style - the embodiment of respectability, nobility and loyalty to tradition. It can be decorated in white-gold or chocolate-beige tones, with columns, stucco, luxurious chandeliers. The materials used are expensive and of high quality - natural wood covered with dark lacquer or ivory enamel, leather upholstery of sofas and armchairs, curtains made of satin, brocade, jacquard, gilded frames, exquisite decor.
Provence style living room
Spring tenderness and romance of the French hinterland is reflected in pastel shades of olive green, blue, lavender, beige. Upholstered furniture and floral print textiles, photographs in openwork frames, cute hand-made decor (crocheted napkins, interior dolls, jewelry boxes and much more) will decorate the Provence-style living room.
Country style living room
The democratic atmosphere of the American ranch is perfectly perceived in the hall of a country house. Roughly processed wood, stone, simple cotton and woolen fabrics with a checkered pattern, firewood crackling in the fireplace create a relaxed atmosphere where peace and comfort always reign.
Chalet style living room
The abundance of wood and raw stone in the interior style of the chalet is very similar to the country, but it has a hunting spirit. Suede or velor can be used for upholstery of upholstered furniture, instead of checkered blankets - fluffy animal skins, on the walls - weapons, deer antlers, images of wild animals.
Living room in ethnic style
In each region there are certain traditions in the design of village houses, which can be applied in the design of modern cottages. As a rule, they include the most accessible materials for a particular locality, handicrafts with characteristic ornaments, decor based on ancient beliefs and customs. Inspiration can be found in local history museums, fairs, colorful tourist sites.
Color combinations
The palette of shades in the guest rooms of country estates seems to have been borrowed from nature itself. As a rule, it is dominated by natural tones of wood, stones, lime, leather and fur. There are no acidic, neon, glossy colors here, from which residents of megacities get so tired - only soft halftones and beautiful matte textures. In such an environment, rest is always pleasant, because organic materials have their own positive energy, which calms and heals.
Neutral combinations
If in urban apartments neutral colors evoke associations with the office with their severity, then in the private sector they look much softer due to smooth lines and more space. Black, white, gray, beige shades are the perfect backdrop for brighter details. By themselves, these colors do not evoke emotions, allowing you to focus on relaxation. And yet, when combining achromatic tones in the interior of the hall, it is worth abandoning sharp black and white contrasts in favor of smoother cream, gray-brown, silver tones.
Cold combinations
Cool shades of blue, light gray, mint green, pale pink, lilac are mainly characteristic of French Provence, shabby chic and Scandinavian style. Bleached paints fill the living room with light, and therefore are ideal for small rooms with small windows.
Warm combinations
Any paint with a yellow undertone looks great surrounded by natural wood (except, perhaps, bleached). The whole brown palette, from coffee to beige, cheerful orange, noble red, light green, golden is the best fit for decorating a spacious guest room in a country house. However, it is better to leave the most saturated and bright colors for small textile elements and decor, and use calmer colors for the background.
Living room decoration
The choice of materials for decoration is one of the most important stages in the design of the living room. Not only the appearance of the room, but also the durability of the repair depends on their quality and aesthetics. Considering that real estate outside the city is purchased, first of all, in order to be closer to nature, it is also worth abandoning synthetics and plastic in the design, preferring natural coatings.
Ceiling
Compared to high-rise buildings, private houses usually boast higher rooms. This provides ample opportunities for ceiling design - you can make several levels of drywall, stretch a film or a special elastic fabric (if desired, even with photo printing), decorate the surface with gypsum stucco or painting.
But the most popular option for finishing the space above the head are wooden beams - real or decorative. They fit perfectly into the country style, echoing in color and texture with the rest of the interior elements. For small living rooms, simple staining or whitewashing is optimal. In order to avoid cracks, the base for painting can be covered with fiberglass-cobwebs.
Walls
The decoration of the walls of the living room in the cottage is simple and unassuming. Paper and vinyl wallpapers are almost never used here - their function is performed by wooden lining, whitewashing, textured plaster.
A fairly common cladding option is decorative stone. It can be either natural chipped rock, or porcelain stoneware, artificial tiles. Of the exotic materials, it is worth noting bamboo panels, reed wallpapers, cork, flexible stone - they can be used to decorate individual sections of the walls or, for example, the area around the TV.
Floor
Since the living room in a country house is often located on the ground floor, it is worth taking care of floor insulation. In no case should it be concrete; ceramic tiles are also undesirable. The ideal option is wooden parquet (preferably matte so that it does not leave marks and stains). You can replace wood with a laminate, cork, epoxy self-leveling coating. In winter, you can not do without carpet, fluffy or woven carpets.
Furniture and decor
The comfort of staying in the living room not least depends on the beauty and convenience of the furniture, which in a private house, given its size, can be quite large. A roomy sofa, soft armchairs, a coffee table and, possibly, a chest of drawers for books - these items are quite enough for a cozy interior.
But, of course, the hall of the manor outside the city is impossible to imagine without a fireplace, around which the closest people gather on cold evenings. Ideally, this is a real functioning hearth with blazing firewood, but there are also decorative electric models. The fireplace portal serves as the main decoration of the guest room: it can be finished with stone, tiled mosaics, gypsum moldings with mini-columns, there are also structures made of brick, drywall or carved solid wood. All kinds of figurines, candles, vases, framed photographs, etc. are usually placed on the mantelpiece.
In the design of modern living rooms, much attention is paid to the TV wall. It can be a special niche made of drywall or wood, a furniture wall, a cabinet or several separate shelves. As a rule, this zone is accented. It is distinguished with the help of textured finishes, staining in a contrasting color, special lighting.
Interior of a small living room in a private house
Compared to spacious halls, small living rooms have a whole list of advantages. So, a small room is easier to heat, the atmosphere in it is more chamber and cozy, much less materials are required for repairs, and cleaning can be done in just a few minutes.
When decorating a compact living room, you should give preference to discreet, light shades and the most simple geometric shapes. You can not overload the interior with multi-level structures on the ceiling, colorful drawings on the walls and bright multi-colored spots. Everything should be sustained in the same style and harmoniously combined with each other.
The best backdrop for a small living room would be a monochromatic wall decoration, a light one-level ceiling, and a low-key texture of the flooring. In textiles and decor, you can add bright colors, prints, decorations. These can be sofa cushions, curtains, paintings or photographs, indoor plants.

Wood, stone and brick are the best materials for decorating the living room of a country house
It is better to give up plastic and synthetics, because a country house is needed first of all in order to be closer to nature
Wood, stone, bamboo, rattan and others are ideal for arranging the main room. As a floor covering, designers recommend using parquet or stone, and the most popular type of ceiling finish is undoubtedly a stretch ceiling.

Fireplace as an element of a modern living room
Many people associate the interior of a living room with a fireplace - a source of warmth and comfort in any room. When decorating a fireplace in a country house, natural stone is most often used, which emphasizes the connection with nature. If the living room is made in a classic style, then columns and gilded elements can be used for decoration.

Modern style allows decoration with glass or mirrors. It is better to lay out the floor in front of the fireplace with fire-resistant material: stone or tile. This will prevent ignition from sparks or charcoal while the fireplace is in use.

Living room with stairs
If a country house has two or more levels, then, as a rule, the stairs leading to the second floor are located in the living room. This must be taken into account when planning the interior. The location of the stairs in the hall means that the room will be a walk-through, which means it is better to leave as much space as possible for free movement around the room. A wooden staircase fits harmoniously into the interior of a country house, however, when choosing a material, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account the style of the room.

- A harmonious interior in a country house is easier to create in a proportional room.
- During the design of the living room, you can achieve a visual increase or decrease in the room.
- It is recommended to include a semantic center in the interior of the hall. It can be a fireplace, a library, a large TV.
- Particular attention should be paid to the selection of high-quality and comfortable furniture.

To harmoniously divide a room into functional areas, you can resort to some design tricks:
- You can visually divide the room into zones by using different types of flooring: the kitchen floor can be tiled, and the lounge area can be laminate or parquet.
- You can use such a design element as a bar counter, which is also very practical and functional.
- Use of ceiling trim and lighting for room zoning. There is no need for bright lighting in the seating area, while in the kitchen you need to use bright lamps and maximize the penetration of natural light into the room.
- Use of arches and mobile structures, which include screens and partitions.
A TV and home theater can be placed in the seating area to watch your favorite movies together. The main element of the dining area is a table, the size of which should depend on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Around it you can arrange beautiful chairs.
