“Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.”  –  John Denver

The word “country” has long signified a place that’s comfortable, unpretentious, and home-like. Like the rolling hills and blue skies of the countryside, country home decor draws us to a kinder, simpler existence.

Beneath the larger umbrella that is country style, several specific decor flavors exist. Coastal, cottage, and farmhouse are American standards, while French, Tuscan, and Scandinavian styles introduce European flair. You’ll be amazed by the variety of cozy living room concepts as you browse our collection of the best country living room ideas.

1. Diversify Furnishings

A country living room has the potential to be a real showstopper! With assorted furniture pieces such as armchairs and sofas, you can create an inviting atmosphere for your family and friends. Layer your favorite patterned rugs for some extra comfort. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different prints and textures – a mixture of plaids, stripes, and florals will make your living room unique.

Introduce a few furnishing elements like old-fashioned trunks, barn doors, or antique pieces to really get that country style. Ultimately, it all comes down to your individual aesthetic preferences, but if there’s one thing that goes well with a country living room it’s lots of wood!

2. Stay Up To Date With Seasonal Decor

A country living room can be a great way to blend seasonal decor with timeless pieces for a homey and seasonal touch. As the seasons change, you can follow the holidays by changing out seasonal decor, which makes the living room alive and vibrant.

From colorful fall leaves to softly melting snowflakes, seasonal elements will give your living room a fresh look throughout the year without needing to buy lots of new furniture or decorations. With just a little seasonal flair, you can keep your living room up-to-date and inviting all year round!

Throw some colorful pillows onto your furniture and you’ll be ready to settle in and enjoy the sweet tranquility that country style has to offer.

For a rustic twist on a country living room, incorporate ceiling beams. Whether worn and weathered or freshly constructed, these add an irresistible accent to the space. Plus, they bring functional support, acting almost like posts in a barn.

Antique trinkets hung on the walls recall memories of days gone by, while a chandelier infuses the room with feminine glamour.

Natural wood beams evoke a rustic atmosphere that’s further enhanced by the antiquated furnishings. Patchwork quilts draped over armchairs and thrown on couches provide comfort for both body and soul in this timeless sanctuary.

A country living room with rustic wall art gives off that cozy, rustic energy while still allowing you the option to repurpose existing windows and display unique DIY wall art.

Furnished with mismatched furniture, repurposed antiques, and small details like bunting flags or weathered window frames repurposed as wall art, this is sure to be a living room space that will spark conversations and be a cozy retreat to relax in after a long day.

Country Living Room FAQs

What is a country room?

A country style room is livable and inviting, comfortable and cozy. It includes plenty of natural and organic materials, including a hardwood floor and metal accents. Today’s country style can encompass any design inclination, from modern simplistic to romantic shabby chic style.

What is American country style?

Just like the nation itself, American country style is a melting pot of elements borrowed from other traditions. However, it most often is used to describe an interior design style that references specific periods of American heritage. This may include wood floors, a brick fireplace, and Craftsman or Shaker style furniture.

What is primitive country decor?

Primitive decor showcases simple folk art items, usually handmade pieces that qualify as antiques. When used by interior designers, the word “primitive” describes an item’s age and method of production. Although primitive cookware, dishes, tools, and furniture are often used in country living rooms, it isn’t considered a design style of its own.
