Country style hallway: features, types and examples

Country design implies a rustic style. The rural trend in interiors is popular not only for country houses, but also for city apartments. A country-style entrance hall immediately immerses you in an atmosphere of naturalness, naturalness, closeness to nature. The rustic décor is very welcoming and suitable for anyone seeking tranquility. In this style, you can arrange both a small and a fairly spacious corridor or hall.

A characteristic feature of country is simplicity, the atmosphere of rural housing, as close as possible to naturalness. This is expressed in the use of natural colors, natural materials. Synthetics and plastics are eliminated, and glass and metal are minimized. There are several stylistic trends in country music based on ethnicity.

• English... The most discreet of all the options, English stiffness and severity definitely play an important role here. The color spectrum is predominantly deep. Wooden furniture is far from graceful, massive and solid. The emphasis is on textiles and must be chosen with great care.

• American... Decorative elements in this style are kept to a minimum. The finish is preferably rough, outwardly clumsy. The colors are predominantly neutral, calm, the texture of the surfaces is solid. The hallway should look a bit like a western room.

• French... The style of the French countryside is also called Provence.It is the softest, most delicate than other varieties. The color scheme is pastel, pale, without bright spots. The furniture is vintage, artificially aged. Floral motifs in decor and textiles are very elegant.

• Russian... A very popular trend, dominated by decoration, furniture, wood decor. This hallway is more like a room in a village hut from a folk tale. The decorative elements are matched accordingly.

• Greek... Laconic shades, freedom, the mood of the sea reign here. The snow-white range is combined with blue or light blue. Plaster is welcomed in the decoration, wicker options among the furniture, the decor is unobtrusive.

• German... This style is distinguished by the clarity of forms, the correctness of geometric silhouettes, and the functional design of the space. This is a rational style, it contains only the necessary things, the decor is minimal.

Before choosing a style for the hallway in favor of country, it is necessary to take into account the features of the hall, its size, shape, as well as the style of the entire home as a whole. There should be no contradiction here. Each variety is unique and has its own characteristics. If the hallway is small in size, use directions in which light colors prevail, laconic forms. Do not overload a small room with decor, textiles.

And also avoid pathos and pretentiousness, since the country style is completely devoid of these characteristic features. Such a corridor should give the impression of lightness, freshness, naturalness. Contrasting bright colors in this direction are inappropriate. But open shelves will add zest to the room.

The country style is perfect for any size of the hallway, it predominantly uses light, neutral tones. In such a composition there is no place for flashy combinations, acidic and too bright colors. You need to rely on the variety of country that you have chosen. Do not use more than three shades, otherwise the corridor will be overloaded with color. Will look organic in country: green, light green, mint, olive, cream, beige, milk, white, pearls, blue. You can add a little pale yellow.

The main thing is that the furniture is made of natural materials or well imitated for them. The leader among furniture materials is natural wood. Items should be practical, laconic forms, without pretentiousness. In addition, wicker furniture will fit well into the interior. Discard glossy surfaces, glass doors. Mirrors are best placed inside cabinet doors rather than outside. A chest of drawers, galoshes will perfectly fit into the composition, but provided that the room is large.

The naturalness of the material and the naturalness of textures also prevail here. If it is necessary to include metal products in the composition, choose forged, bronze, vintage.

• Floor... It is better to choose a tree: parquet, laminate, decorative board.
• Walls... Wood panels, natural stone, brick, decorative plaster, wallpaper with a floral or landscape motif will look good.
• Ceiling... Discard multi-level structures, even if the area allows. It is better if the ceiling is with wood beams or just whitewashed.

Decor is an important part of any country style. In some areas there is more of it, in others it is less, but you need to carefully consider the choice of jewelry. Will look good:

• paintings with landscape subjects with flowers;
• massive frames;
• plants;
• flowers;
• clay, wood products;
• vintage candlesticks;
• tapestries;
• self-woven tracks;
• ethnic patterns.

Lighting performs not only a decorative function. It is best to opt for sconces, fabric lampshades or wicker, country-style chandeliers. Spotlights will not bring harmony to such an interior.If there is a window in the corridor, it must be decorated with curtains made of cotton, linen, wool, silk. The drawing is either absent or not very expressive.
