1. The colours of country chic style

Decorating in country chic style means recreating the typical atmosphere of the countryside in your home or shop: the peace and quiet of rolling wheat fields, the scent of meadows in bloom, the intimacy of the woods. You can evoke all these feelings by drawing on decorating ideas typical of the country chic style.

If you want to decorate your home according to the principles of this style, the first thing to consider is without doubt colour: in country chic, the colour scheme is of paramount importance! To evoke a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere, it's essential to stick strictly to warm, soft pastel colours: off-white, pearl grey, cream, pink and green. These colours can be used for walls, floors and the main pieces of furniture. Unlike many other styles, country chic avoids contrast of any kind, favouring tone-on-tone colour schemes that heighten the sense of tranquillity and relaxation.

The lines of the style are very soft and delicate: no furniture or decorations with elaborate patterns – everything should be inspired by the most refined simplicity!

When decorating your walls, it's always best to use neutral shades of white or grey, avoiding bright tones. Floral wallpaper is also very popular in country chic interiors.

Naturally, the colour scheme of our rooms needs to be planned with some care: by avoiding contrast and relying solely on neutral colours, we run the risk of creating static, anonymous spaces, defeating the very warmth and welcome we were looking for.

To create movement and bring vitality to our rooms, we can use the warm, vivid hues of nature as secondary colours: the red and yellow of flowers, the green of grass and the blue of the sky. Furniture, decorations and accessories that make clever use of these shades can easily add a dynamic touch to a dull room.

2. Country chic materials and furniture

As in old farmhouses, wood is the star material of country chic interiors: raw, worked or painted, what matters is that it keeps the simplicity of line and pattern and gives a strong rustic feel.

The perfect furniture for country chic style is old wooden furniture: bread chests, tables, sideboards and antique or rustic display cabinets, with simple lines and minimal decoration.

To go with this kind of furniture, we can choose prints that somehow hark back to the past, or even black and white posters.

The decorative motifs of country chic style echo nature, the countryside, femininity and romance. Above all, you'll find flowers, plants and hearts. To decorate the walls of your home with these subjects, the flower posters we're about to show you could be just what you need.

3. Decorating your walls with country chic posters and pictures

Once you've created the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the countryside with colours, furniture and fabrics, all that's left is to add the finishing touch to your home with country chic pictures, posters and photo prints.

With its neutral tones, simple lines and lack of contrast, this style can sometimes become bland and lacking in personality. That's why original decorative prints play such an important role in giving our rooms character and a unique touch.

Taking our cue from nature, we can decorate our walls with nature posters or animal prints.
