The concept of the country interior design came into use in the 1920-1930-s when the style of a grandmother's house was on top. Country style quickly became popular in many countries and has developed much by the 50-60s in Europe, England and America. The main features are comfort, naturalness and functionality.

Nowadays, the most popular types of the country style are:

Provence

The abundance of colourful textiles of yellow, lavender, and blue shades; light shabby furniture; a double bed; benches in the kitchen instead of chairs; the dangling bunches of dried herbs in the kitchen.

Chalet

White or very light interiors; very little decorative elements.

English

Simplicity with a touch of stiffness and elegance, the abundance of soft furniture with fabric upholstery; curtains with a plaid pattern; porcelain figurines.

German

The floor and walls are whitewashed, complemented with wooden beams; shelves are full of bottles and baskets for products; an invariable attribute of the living room and/or kitchen — a fireplace.

American

Massive dining tables designed for a large family; leather furniture; a fireplace in the living room is obligatory; animal hides; patchwork pillows and mats.
