What is it, country style?
Do you remember that in our childhood we liked to be with my grandmother in the village? Wooden floors, homespun rugs, cotton curtains, flowers in pots and ... incredibly delicious pies that grandmother baked in a Russian stove. Rural style is rooted in the life of our ancestors, in the interior of the huts of the Russian village. Although this statement applies exclusively to the Russian people. Americans have a country style inextricably linked with the situation of the ranch, the Mexicans - with hacienda, the British reproduce the features of the English rural cottage, the French - the French rural house. All these directions have a common name - country. Therefore, first you need to decide which style direction you want to reproduce in your living room, and then begin to act.

Decorating the living room in a rustic style, you need to take care of the appropriate finish. The country style is a simple, without pretentiousness, even a rough finish.

The second option is decorative plaster on the walls. And the third one is stone or brickwork. All of the above ways of decorating walls can be combined with each other.
Another attribute of the decoration of the walls can be a wooden panel or a wooden wall, against which the central composition will be built.

Rural style means a lot of sunlight. However, this is not always possible, especially if the living room windows face the north side. Therefore, it needs to be supplemented with artificial lighting created by a ceiling lighting fixture - a multi-lantern chandelier - and a multitude of additional (not built-in) sources that illuminate certain areas. These can be floor lamps with fabric lampshades, table lamps made in antiquity. All of them are performed in a restrained color scheme, can be decorated with painting and colored glass.
