• the mass of old rubbish is the main enemy of the harmonious interior of .For decades, there has been a tradition( and it still exists) to bring everything that it is a pity to throw out to the country. Old sofas, refrigerators, wardrobes, armchairs, souvenirs, paintings and other things live out in the summer cottage, while their owners continue to hope that some of these things will come in handy sometime. We do not argue, sometimes even necessary and decent things sometimes get to the dacha, but often they hide behind a mountain of what only takes space and turns a house into a barn. What is not used for more than 3 years, you definitely will not need. Getting rid of trash is the first, most important and sometimes the most difficult stage, but it is impossible to do without it. If the house is just erected, then this problem disappears;

Walls of can be simply painted or plastered, wallpapers with a distinctive pattern are perfect. If you want to experiment, you can select one of the walls with a different color of paint or another canvas of wallpaper.

№3.Furniture in the interior of the country house

Laconic decoration becomes the backdrop for furniture and accessories, so the furniture and decor must be approached very carefully. For years, all the old furniture has been brought to the country, but it often happens that even with its abundance the house cannot be called functional. The ideal option is to equip the cottage with brand-new furniture that is suitable in size and style, but not always and not everyone has the desire and finances for it. There is nothing to use in the country old furniture - it is just necessary to approach this competently. Specialists give some tips:

• use minimum items of furniture .As a rule, a table with folding chairs, a wardrobe, and a pair of folding chairs is enough. If there is a need and opportunity, you can use both sofas and full beds;
• old furniture is still quite strong. In the city apartment she was tired, but for giving the most that. A small restoration of in the form of repair, painting, upholstery with a new cloth will allow you to completely change the look of old chairs, cabinets and sofas. Most restoration work can be done by hand;
  
  
• is better, of course, to use furniture based on wood, possibly with forging elements, and let the shiny metal and plastic remain in the city apartment or as parts. Perfect for giving furniture suitable from a rod, a natural and artificial rattan;
• textiles in the form of bedspreads, tablecloths, upholstery, pillows and rugs complement the decor;

Some home furnishings are easy to build from scrap materials yourself. For example, a table, a clothes hanger and even a bed can be assembled from wooden pallets.

№4.Styles of the interior of country houses

To make the interior of the villa harmonious, it is better to adhere to at least the basic foundations of a certain direction. For a country house can fit almost all the styles of interior design, which are used in an ordinary apartment, but there are exceptions. Since this is a house in nature, modern and in many ways urban styles will look alien. We are talking about minimalism, hi-tech, kitsch and the like, but this is just a recommendation - you decide, of course.

Among the most appropriate interior styles for a country house, calls the following designers:

• Country , aka rustic style, ideal for giving. Repeats the key features that were characteristic of housing in villages in different regions. Country can be American, French, Russian, Italian, and in any way - it is important to convey the atmosphere of a typical village house of a particular locality. In the course will go old things or things antique. Despite the fact that the rural life of different countries is very different, the country style is characterized by some common details: simple and slightly rough wooden furniture, light shades, cellular and floral ornaments;
• Provence is actually French country music, but its unusual charm made the style so popular that we separate it into a separate category. The direction is characterized by simple wooden furniture, but not very rough, light colors, incl.shades of blue, green, sand, lavender. A lot of textiles with cute colors( polka dots, flower) are used, accessories play an important role. Suitable metal dishes, bird cages, photos in the old framework. Furniture can be with the effect of aging. Provence is the perfect way to organize a summer house space;
• Shabby-chic is somewhat reminiscent of Provence style, it is just as romantic and cute, but it uses more expensive pieces of furniture and decor, the effect of antiquity is obligatory, because the style literally means "worn shine".We focus on light shades, intricate details, textiles and give preference to all the old;
• Scandinavian style is an abundance of wood and white color, a minimum of details and ornaments, no knickknacks( as in Provence).The emphasis is on natural materials, simplicity and functionality of furniture, free layouts and an abundance of light. Textiles( floor mats and bedspreads) play both a functional and a decorative role;
• “retro” style is actually what is present at the majority of summer cottages, only in a refined version. Grandmother's things, objects from the past era, old photos will create a special atmosphere. In addition, you will not have to throw anything out, and you will need to purchase a minimum of things. Geometric patterns, antique watches and tableware, a samovar, wicker furniture are attributes that will help to recreate the retro atmosphere;
• style chalet - is an attempt to embody the comfort and atmosphere of a typical Alpine houses. The direction is great for large country houses, but in the country you can use some of its elements. The decoration is made of wood and stone, the furniture is also wooden and has simple shapes, a distinctive feature of the style is the presence and accentuation of the wooden ceiling beams. The interior is decorated with animal skins, the color scheme is light and warm hues, there is an abundance of light;
• loft is not a frequent guest in country houses, but in some cases it can be not only a way to decorate the space, but also save the situation. If the house has just been built, and there is no money for interior decoration, then this is your option. The basis of the style is bare surfaces and open communications. It is enough to cover bare concrete or brick walls with a special varnish so that they do not dust, put retro furniture, use a couple of interesting accessories, for example, lamps, and the interior is ready;
• boho is an ideal style in the sense that it is intended to combine the incompatible, which means that there is a place for completely different and necessary things. This is a creative mess, an abundance of colors, variegation, furniture from different eras, bright lampshades, decorative pillows, an abundance of textiles. Someone calls the style of bad taste, but here it is important to start only from personal perception.
