No matter where you live, you can create an inviting, casual living space with the welcoming warmth of an old country home, and it doesn’t have to be powder blue with ducks on the wall! You can create a stylish den or living room with the touch of home that resonates your own personal sense of style and taste.

Take stock and discover which pieces you currently have that can work with your country casual design and then decide where you want to focus your attention from there.

A Few Considerations for the Perfect Country Casual Look:

Furniture Style

Country casual furniture such as big, fluffy upholstered sofas and chairs will add a comforting and warm appeal to your room. Beautiful chintz fabrics, various coordinating textiles, and warm-toned woods will further enhance your design.

Country casual furnishings don’t have to match. As a matter of fact, mixing various styles and pieces will only maximize the country charm. A rustic wood or iron coffee table is a great choice, or many designers now choose to use a big ottoman topped off with a large wooden tray.

Make Your Space Cozy No Matter What Size

Whether your space is large or small, you can still create the look you want. If your room is large, try creating several sitting areas to break up the space into cozy areas.

Perhaps a love seat and a sofa along with comfortable chairs and ottomans will help do the trick. An old farm bench with pillows of different fabrics adds a beautiful touch and creates an inviting spot to sit and think. A small desk or secretary desk will also create an interesting area for note-writing.

If you have a small space to work with, creating cozy charm is easy. Just choose the furniture and accessories that fit comfortably into your space.
