Once you’ve taken down your holiday decor, your house might feel a bit empty. Perhaps it’s lacking a bit of charm and coziness that you loved so much during the holidays. You don’t have to settle for this, though. We’re here to help!
Who are we, though? We’re Gina and Sandy, owners of Country Village Shoppe. We love country home decor, and helping you create the space you’ve been dreaming about is our goal. You can make your home more warm and inviting with just a few simple additions and touches. We’ll share a few of our favorite ideas to get you started. So, what are we waiting for—let’s dive right in.
Add Rugs for Depth and Warmth
Here at Country Village Shoppe, we love our rugs! They’re a foundational piece of country home decor. Easy and affordable, braided rugs are a perfect way to make your home feel more inviting. You’ll want to start by laying down a large, neutral country-style rug to ground your space. This can help set the tone for everything else. This will serve as a perfect background piece for your space.
Add Cozy Throws
Who doesn’t love a good throw? There’s truly nothing quite like a soft throw to add warmth and comfort to your room. You can drape a cozy throw over a chair, sofa or even your bed, and you’ll instantly invite comfortable lounging.. Throws not only serve a practical function, they also add a stylish accent in your room.
We’d encourage you to experiment with different textures and layering textiles of different types to keep things interesting and variable throughout the seasons. Try chunky knits for a cozy, layered look, or maybe lightweight cotton for a breezy, casual feel. The best part? Throws are versatile and can be used to tie your room’s color palette together. Whether you want to add a pop of color or complement existing colors, a well-placed throw can bring everything together beautifully.
Style with Throw Pillows
When it comes to country style decorating, throw pillows are a really simple way to add personality to a living space. Start by choosing pillows in different sizes and maybe even different shapes to create a layered look. Mix up the textures and materials for even more interest.
Though it can sometimes be intimidating, don’t be afraid to play with patterns and colors! We'd suggest using a color wheel. Color wheels can help you decide what colors go well together. This will help you pick more cohesive pillows. They are the perfect way to experiment with bold prints, florals or stripes without overwhelming the room. Just make sure the patterns and colors you choose complement your existing decor so it all feels cohesive. Layering pillows on sofas, chairs or beds can make your home a place you truly want to spend time relaxing in!
Incorporate Rustic Accents
So, what is a rustic accent? Well, when it comes to country home decor, we like to use things like signs, wall decor, accents and even lighting. While you don’t want your space to be cluttered, adding a few mindful country home decor pieces can really add charm to any space–whether it’s a bedroom, living room, kitchen or even your bathroom.
We’d suggest using items like adding a gorgeous stoneware pitcher to your bathroom counter. Maybe add a metal piece like the Baby Scale Clock in your kitchen or even a Wood Window Mirror to your living room. All of these rustic accent pieces can add just a little vintage touch to your country home decor without changing around too much in the room. If you’re looking to make a more dramatic yet simple country decor change to a room, we’d suggest looking at our curtain collections.
