In addition, it is important that the different rooms in the house connect with each other. That is why we give you a number of tips about the use of materials per room.

Country living room

In a country living room everything can be a size bigger. So make sure you have some eye-catchers. For example, a large wooden wall cupboard or a large wicker sofa.

Use rural home accessories such as decorative cushions, wicker baskets, plaids, animal furs and antlers to complete the interior. To provide contrast in the interior, you can paint the walls in a light color and, for example, give the window frames a dark color.

As for the floor, the choice is simple: a real wooden floor fits best in a rural interior. This is partly because the impact sound of a wooden floor fits well with a rural experience.

Good to know: oak floors are available in dozens of colors, so there is always a floor that suits your interior. Furthermore, the wooden floorboards are available in various widths. See this example of a stylish wide wooden floor in a rural interior.

Country kitchen

In most homes, the kitchen is part of the living room. That is why it is important to extend the rural design of the living room to the kitchen.

A country kitchen contains a lot of wood. For example, consider oak kitchen cabinets in combination with a natural stone kitchen top. To enhance the rural look of the kitchen, you can, for example, hang wall racks or place wooden shelves above the countertop on which you place the kitchen utensils.

Country bedroom

A country bedroom radiates tranquility. A wooden floor, light wall colors and a wooden bed frame can go a long way. In terms of window coverings, you can opt for curtains in combination with wooden slats or a bamboo roller blind.
