Modern Country-Style for October Onwards

Country style interior design may be traditional. But no other design can be so homey than this kind.  Corporate offices and residential interior are well delineated from each other with country style to make our house give us a feel of home-sweet-home! And true, wall paintings are more venerated in such style than laminates, highly glossed wall, or mirrored walls.

Country-style design is old fashion yet we miss the tall plants in the corner, the light blue floral wall framed with white cornices, the woven rocking chair, and the busy design of everything from living area to kitchen. The house is just stuffed. And instead of keeping the small details in the house inside a built-in cabinet, we just want them arranged somewhere— a specific table for this, an open shelf, or even atop our hanging kitchen cabinet where in between these items are pots with plants. It is quite far from what is in today most especially if we dwell within the commercial hub.  In our flats is where minimalism reigns. Our pad will be contemporary as long as we leave the artworks with the interior structure. We make the wall glass—smoked, frozen, or just plain clear. We choose plain shades of mocha, grey, or a bit gloomy shade of white as wall paint or perhaps laminates of designs and patterns are better. After that, we select a few modern furniture. And anything extra we keep them in cabinets, hidden!  This is in. This is fad. This is lifestyle yet we wonder why in times of stress, we want to fly somewhere else and be temporarily cradled by bed with sheets that have ruffles and frills, by room with printed drapes and ribbons to tie them, with walls that are not glass and glossy but wood in white and where small stuffs are arranged in display—even groceries too are treated like artworks for sale!  We know that kind of style is where our generation grows up and such ambiance feels like being equated to fresh milk, fresh air, and edible greens, and palatable cooking.

There is too much beauty in traditional interior design.  It makes a home to look like home.  It is place which food is not just a phone away but we see our folks in apron busy preparing food for us. And truly, it is also a place where cooking seems a catering in a daily basis and where breathing of air does not entail inhaling pollutants. And this feeling is what exactly country-style interior designing gives us.

So from October onwards, it is all about country style design that we will be posting on here. But not far from what is in today, we will deviate from truly conventional to country style with modern touch-ups. After all, we can't live backwards.
