Science is developing rapidly, and every year it becomes more and more difficult not to get lost in the variety of new styles and materials. However, those who want to equip the house comfortably and with taste should not despair - the good old village comfort will come to the rescue.
Over its long history, country music has acquired a huge number of variations, adapting to the national characteristics of different countries and absorbing the local flavor. There are three main varieties.
- Russian country style
- English Country
- French provence
A fireplace in the living room creates a warm and pleasant atmosphere
A bedroom in a tree will look very nice
A rustic kitchen is a great design option. It will be a pleasure to cook on it
Each of these styles is individual and reflects the cultural traditions of their country, but the overall concept is still the same - naturalness, simplicity and comfort.
Unity with nature also plays an important role in interior design, because one of the main principles of rustic style is the rejection of artificial materials in favor of natural ones. Particular preference is given to wood, although stone is also widely used.
The decoration of a village house is distinguished by deliberate rudeness. You can flaunt floor beams, do not be shy about clumsy plaster and hand-knit furniture - all this will only add originality. Practicality instead of excesses is the basic law of creating a rustic interior, but this does not mean that you should give up decorations and forget about beauty. On the contrary, it is worth paying special attention to them.

A rustic living room with a fireplace is a great place to relax with friends
Country style is characterized by a large number of decor items. Invariable attributes are carpets, which are laid not only on the floor, but also hung on the walls, an abundance of natural textiles, pillows on chairs, a table covered with a tablecloth or a lace napkin. Hand-made interior details are especially welcome. Knitting, embroidery, patchwork technique - any handmade only benefits the creation of comfort, and the rustic style opens up great scope for imagination and creativity.
But before you add accessories to the interior, you should think about the color palette. Country style gives its preference to natural shades and muted, soft tones. Pastel colors are also popular. When choosing a color scheme, there are no strict restrictions, but fluorescent should be avoided. The absence of flashy colors and neon creates a peaceful atmosphere and does not strain your eyesight.
The atmosphere of rural comfort can be easily created both in an apartment and in a country house.

- 1 Russian country style - harmony and simplicity
- 2 English country style - noble and aristocratic
- 3 French country style - the elegance of Provence
- 4 Country style interior
- 5 Rustic kitchen interior
- 6 Rustic living room
- 7 Rustic bedroom romance
Finishing and most of the interior items are made of wood.
For wall cladding, both wooden panels and solid logs are used. Russian rustic style is uncomplicated, but not without appeal.
The furniture is maximally simplified. In lighting, lamps with a lampshade or kerosene are used. For the Russian style, the presence of a large chest in the house is characteristic. Rustic style in the interior of a country house will help create a Russian stove. This practical thing is used not only for heating, but also for cooking. Near the stove in the village house there are corresponding attributes - a woodpile with firewood for kindling, a poker, a shovel and a tong with cast irons.
Decorate a Russian-style home with patchwork quilts and painted pottery, and hang cross-stitch or panels made from natural materials on the walls.
In such a kitchen you will enjoy cooking
A candle on the wall will perfectly complement the decor
In the English style, design issues were approached thoroughly.
Stone and brickwork is often used in the wall decoration, and the furniture is distinguished by its massiveness: a separate dining room will be required for the dining table, and a king-sized four-poster bed will look appropriate in the bedroom. Armchairs have high backs and are made of wood, and then covered with leather and decorated with decorative carvings. Usually they are located in the living room next to the fireplace.
In the colors of English country, light tones (beige, gray) closely coexist with rich shades (chocolate, red-brown, dark green).
For decor, heavy dense fabrics in a cage are used. They are used to make covers for furniture, curtains, blankets, decorative pillows and other interior decorations.

Flowers with fruits will complement the table setting

Against the backdrop of other rustic styles, Provence is the most romantic and dreamy.
It is characterized by light colors (especially white and blue), delicate pastel shades and floral patterns. The decor sometimes uses a bright red accent.
Unlike English country furniture, Provence furniture is light, elegant and usually comes in light pastel colors. The upholstery often uses floral ornaments, sometimes a cage or a strip. Furniture is also artificially aged to give the interior a retro touch.
The walls are covered with plain plaster and the floors are covered with terracotta tiles or white painted planks.
The French rustic style is about elegance and getting rid of bulky unnecessary details, but some additional elements are still acceptable. The Provence-style interior can be decorated with homemade lace napkins, a bouquet of wild flowers in a porcelain vase, or wood painting.
White kitchen with wooden beams looks very elegant
Wooden walls are the foundation of rustic style
Rustic styles are not similar to each other, each of them has its own history associated with the national characteristics of local peoples.
For many years, the main goal of country style was practicality and convenience. And what defines the rustic style in the interior today?
- Finishing materials are wood and stone.
- Finishing is deliberately simple and rough.
- Furniture mainly made of wood, simple and durable, with a retro effect.
- Many handmade elements, in other words - handmade.
- The decor uses an abundance of textiles (curtains, blankets, tablecloths, napkins).
- In country houses, stoves and fireplaces serve as sources of heat.

The main task of the living room is to create a hospitable mood and cozy atmosphere in a country house. To do this, you should use wooden or wicker furniture, choose warm colors in the design, and make the light a little muffled. For curtains, sofa covers and other textile items, you should choose natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen. Sofa cushions can be decorated with embroidery - handmade, made with soul, will transform any interior.
The ideal material for living room flooring is wood, but laminate can also be used. It is also worth covering it with a soft carpet or rug.
Walls can be wood-paneled, finished with stone, or simply plastered.
Handmade decorations placed on the shelves will add charm to the interior. For this purpose, you can use clay or wooden figurines, knitted toys, cross-stitch inserted into the frame.
The final touch in the decoration of the living room will be a bouquet of fresh wildflowers placed on a fireplace or coffee table.

In the bedroom - the room where a person gets a long-awaited rest after a long day at work - must be comfortable. Rustic style in the interior of the bedroom will be preferred by people who value comfort and naturalness.
You can use wallpaper with a floral print or decorate the walls with panels. Wooden beams in the decor of the ceiling will add originality to the room. You don’t have to invent anything special with the floor - just lay a carpet or rug on it.
Country style is good for its ease. You can choose the simplest furniture, the main thing is to be strong, reliable and natural. In the decor, as usual, handmade should be preferred. Patchwork quilts fit perfectly into the decor.

It doesn't take much to create a romantic mood in the bedroom. It is enough to lay snow-white sheets, lay out pillows with floral embroidery, put a bouquet of fresh flowers on the bedside table, and you're done!
Despite its venerable age and simple essence, the popularity of country music is only growing every day. Rustic style does not shine with luxury and splendor, but gives a feeling of calm and comfort and turns any home into a place where you always want to return.

That is why the approach to design here is a little different. The atmosphere should be relaxing and give a feeling of comfort, and also be in harmony with the surrounding landscape. For this reason, the rustic style always remains relevant in the interior of a country house. In this article, we will figure out according to what canons it is built and what varieties it has.

A common question: what is the name of the rustic style in the interior? Confusion naturally arises due to the large number of variations: from chalets to country and shabby chic. This diversity largely appeared due to the fact that the rural style adapted to the characteristics of different countries, acquired specific features and, accordingly, names.
Consider the main varieties.
Rustic
This variation of the country style in the interior reflects the most common ideas about rural life.

The key element of direction is wood. There should be a lot of this material everywhere: in interior and exterior decoration, furniture, decor. Wood can be used in any form: smoothly polished or unfinished, painted or natural. You can choose one or a combination of all these techniques. This direction is characterized by sweeping forms, massive furniture and large decoration elements (for example, decorative beams). The house should be large, filled with light, with high ceilings.

Here, as in any version of rural design, the central element is the tree. Paint and plaster are also actively used for finishing, there may be a stone or concrete floor. Large barn doors, furniture from pallets and old boxes, straw products look organic.
The walls can be finished with wood, but more often they are simply plastered. As much handmade as possible is welcome. In the decor, you can use natural or artificial fur, leather and eco-leather, jewelry with a hunting theme.
Furniture and finishes must be solid and of high quality to serve for many years. Much attention is paid to textiles - it is he who sets the right mood and adds comfort. The English style is suitable for both spacious houses and small cottages.

From French provence is translated as "province", the same name is given to the region famous for its picturesque nature and lavender fields. It is these romantic pictures of French life that underlie the style. In the design of a dacha or cottage, light colors predominate: white, beige, gray, any pastel colors. The decoration uses natural materials, the furniture is elegant, with wicker and forged elements. There should be a lot of decor, even with a little excess, because it is he who creates that very unique cozy atmosphere. Be sure to use cute ornaments: flowers, a light cage, thin non-contrasting stripes, polka dots. The rooms should have a lot of textiles (curtains and tablecloths are especially important), vintage and handmade items, fresh flowers.

First of all, this is the name of the houses that are located in the Alps.
They are not only inhabited by locals - they are a popular and atmospheric alternative to ordinary hotels for tourists. The style in this case is determined by the architecture itself: the houses have a clear division into a more durable lower tier made of stone (this is required by the features of the landscape) and an upper tier made of wood. Most often, the chalet has a massive triangular roof with a large angle of inclination - this is necessary so that the snow falls from it faster.
Inside, the space is decorated with wood and stone. All materials must be natural, wood is usually processed. To make it cozy inside, a large amount of textiles made of wool and cotton, a variety of decor are used. The house always has a fireplace around which you can gather and warm up. The color scheme is restrained, without bright color splashes, in natural tones. Furniture is chosen simple, without excessive decorations and pomposity, as, for example, in the classical style. In general, the design can be a little rough and ascetic, but always cozy and warm.

Details may vary (including from region to region), but there are essential common elements:
- Calm natural palette, mostly in light shades.
- An abundance of wood in any form, the walls can be solid logs or paneled.
- Furniture is simple, but embellishments are allowed, such as stained glass in a sideboard or frilled fabric covers on chairs.
- Traditional decor and textiles. There are tablecloths on the tables, it is advisable to use elements woven from threads: napkins, curtains, etc.
- Instead of a fireplace - a Russian stove with tiles.

The color scheme should be calm, pleasing to the eye and built on the basis of natural shades. Shades of beige, light gray, white and brown predominate. As additional, you can use deeper colors, as well as delicate pastels - relevant for Provence.
In some cases, dark colors can become the main color scheme: for example, in English country or chalets.
Cosiness is of the utmost importance for a rustic-style country house, so it is desirable that warm or neutral tones predominate in the palette. The exception is Provence, which is characterized by blue, mint, lavender and snow-white tones. Green will always be appropriate - it goes well with all the basic colors and nature outside the window.

Finishing
Only eco-friendly materials are used in the decoration, primarily wood and stone.

Walls may have wood paneling, decorative plaster, paint, or breathable moisture-resistant wallpaper that is resistant to moisture. It is important that the materials are not flammable. In terms of design, the design depends on the direction. So, for example:
- For American country, rustic, chalet and "Russian manor" plain walls are typical. If they are finished with wood, the texture performs a decorative function. If it is paint or plaster, the surfaces are decorated with paintings, textiles, etc.
- Patterned wallpaper is often used in Provence and English country, especially in the bedroom and living room. So that the space does not look too colorful, you can highlight only one or two walls with ornaments, and choose a more neutral finish for the rest.
It is also possible - and even necessary - to combine patterns with each other: for example, flowers with a cage or a strip.
Unlike city apartments, where the ceilings are best made simple and smooth due to the small area and height of the rooms, in country houses they are most often decorated with wooden ceilings. They can be natural or dyed in a contrasting color.
The floor is usually made of wood, but in some areas it can be stone, stoneware or tile. Ceramics is strong, durable, easy to clean and not afraid of dirt, so it is suitable for kitchen, hallway and bathroom. The tile can be either plain or with a non-contrasting abstract pattern. For example, a broom or patchwork looks very beautiful and original.

Vintage items will fit perfectly into the rustic style: whether it's a grandmother's legacy or products from flea markets and bulletin boards.
There is no need to chase trends here, on the contrary, every thing in the house has its own history and keeps memories. The furniture is mostly dark shades, but in Provence it can be all the same pastel colors and white. Forms are quite simple, large, even massive products are welcome that will fill the space and create a solid feeling.

Use:
- Paintings - family portraits, graphics, landscapes are suitable. But it is better to refuse provocative or too bright abstraction.
- Beautiful tableware - it can be a service passed down from generation to generation, vintage finds, handicrafts.
