American country style celebrates the spirit of America and started becoming popular just over 35 years ago (around bicentennial time).
This style is charming, warm, relaxed, comfortable and eclectic and honors handcrafted items, memorabilia, past and simple pleasures and traditions.
Wicker chairs, twig furniture, stripped or antique pine, painted furnishings can all be found in American country homes.
Common fabric choices are linen, vintage cottons, lace or aged leather.

Quilts, throws, cushions made with weathered fabrics, duck decoys, vintage signs, game boards, wooden trunks, vintage clothing and any objects made by American ancestors are popular accessories used within this style.
Wall coverings can range from a pastel painted wall to a wall that has been stenciled in places (such as on the borders), to wallpapered.

Even the southwestern influence of Native American items including motif, or cowhides and bright colors are considered part of the American Country style.
Floor coverings may be wood or tile floors with hooked or homespun area rugs.
