Country style is reflected by natural fabrics and materials and is emphasized by a sense of place (eg. American, English or French).
Furnishings are often made with stripped or antique pine or are sometimes made from maple, oak or wicker. Some pieces of wood furniture might be painted (blue is a popular color for this). Some other types of furnishings that are returning for a more back-to-nature feel are rattan, wrought iron, distressed wood, teak and even log. If metals are used with these types of materials, they often have an antiqued or rusty looking finish to them.
Although the Country style was inspired by traditional styles, with time it is becoming more contemporary and floral fabrics are popular, as are vintage fabrics and laces. Prefered colors are off-whites, apple green, blues, pinks and pastel colors and earthy colors such as autumn reds, oranges and yellows.
Often beams on the ceilings are exposed, or the ceiling may even be made of cedar. Flooring is often pine or hardwood or stone or tile while window treatments are often wood blinds or shutters.
