A way of decorating interiors which has also become a new way of living the spaces, always between indoor and outdoor, between what has been and what now is. A play of back and forth which considers the house as the place where memory and style meet. A discreet search, which tastes of intimacy and welcome.
How is this “avantgarde vintage” translated in the field of country household decorations?
Let’s discover it together with this guide about the country objects which must be used in a modern country house.
**
Country household objects: here are the 4 “must-haves”**
Among the protagonists of country style, we find the colours of the earth, materic and natural surfaces like terracotta and ceramic, untreated wood furniture, fabrics of natural yarns. Different objects inspired by the same fil rouge: bringing the scent of the countryside into the city.
Let’s discover the 4 “must-have” household decorations.
1) Textiles for country chic decorations
Simple, essential, made of natural materials and decorations: textiles have a fundamental role in country decorations.
That is why they have to be carefully chosen, as far as their material and their pattern are concerned. Colours must be light, bright: white, beige and the natural tones of the earth are the perfect palette for a special result, for contemporary refinement.
Filling the sofa with cushions of natural cotton with fabric embroideries and choosing a lot of cushions, in different shapes, is a very nice way to decorate the living room with intimate elegance, indulging in warm, tactile sensations.

The pieces of furniture to decorate the house in country style**
When we speak of pieces of furniture in country chic style, we speak of natural wood.
This is the main material of interior decoration if you want to have a unique, timeless, yet always moderate result. Cupboards, writing desks, tables are sturdy, solid, practical and they have simple shapes.
Wood is delicate, natural and contemporary, and it therefore fits every type of interior, changing the antique into something new, chic and very charming (if you want to learn more about this, please read “Country Chic Interior Design: pieces of furniture and housewares between memory and style”)
Modern country decorations: mirrors
“Mirror, mirror on the wall…” What about “Show me the most beautiful house of all”?
The mirror is not a simple object, rather the place of being. That is why mirrors become graphic projects which stand out as the protagonists of the space they are in, in whatever interiors, especially in the ones that speak of warmth and welcome.
Country style, too, has its mirrors, used both for amplifying the space and for decorating them. Needless to say it, once again wood is the one which plays with reflections.
Here are some ideas:
Country accessories for the kitchen
Country style has its say also in the kingdom of functionality, the kitchen.
Here the successful combination is the one which mixes useful objects for everyday activities with accessories or small furnishing objects which characterise the room, designed for pleasing both the eye and the touch. Jars and containers to show, cutting boards of worked ceramic: objects of refined design which, matched together, turn into the ingredients of a rediscovered passion for being at home.
Among all decorative styles, modern country is perhaps the one which most enhances the imperfect, the unfinished. What is even more important is that it can make it harmonious and fill it with beauty.
