Select materials like Pine and oak wood or Cotton and linen that can handle the demands of this room.

Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Country can overwhelm small spaces. Focus on warm colors and one or two traditional pieces. Let one collection shine rather than displaying many. Keep the warmth while editing quantity. For a small lounge: Small lounges can feel intimate and cozy—embrace it. A small sofa, two chairs, and a bar cart can create a perfect cocktail corner. Good lighting is essential to avoid feeling cramped.
Large Space Tips
Large country spaces embrace multiple seating areas, generous dining tables, and abundant collections. Create intimate corners within larger rooms for comfortable living. In a larger lounge: Large lounges can create multiple zones: a conversation area, a bar area, a reading nook, perhaps a piano corner. Avoid making it feel like a hotel lobby—maintain intimacy through furniture groupings.
Budget-Friendly
Country style builds through collection over time. Estate sales, antique shops, and thrift stores yield authentic pieces. Focus on one or two quality antiques and fill in gradually.
Luxury Approach
Source museum-quality American antiques, authentic folk art, and handmade quilts. Work with dealers specializing in American country antiques.
