Features of country style

Country style room design is designed to create the atmosphere of a country house. The decorative features directly depend on the national color of a particular country.

Country style is popular among owners of country and country houses, and lovers of environmentally friendly and natural materials in room decoration.

Country style design is based on the use of natural materials in interior decoration. Modern country music does not require copying all the attributes of village life.

A little stylization is enough to set the overall theme. Therefore, country curtains play a special role in the interior.

Harmonious plastic windows in Country style

April 17, 2018

Many people think that Country style should be associated exclusively with the American ranch, which really formed the basis of the interior style of this direction. But modern realities force us to think in broader terms. Agree, the American ranch style will look interesting in Russian country houses, but it will be very, very far from being in harmony with the environment. And why focus on interiors so far from us, if our country also has its own “ranches” that set their own, authentic and unique style, which can also bear the proud name of Country.

What is Country style?

The purpose of our article is to consider options for the most harmonious combination of plastic windows with Country style. But our story would be incomplete if we did not tell you in a nutshell what exactly this style is, what its distinctive features are. So, Country style is something rustic and, as a result, natural, environmentally friendly, slightly rough, rustic, but certainly cozy. These are the words that can describe interiors made in Country style. As we have already said, for the United States, “rustic” style is most easily described by the interior of the proverbial ranch. But this is not an axiom. For example, in Mexico the Country style is best described by a hacienda, in Switzerland by a chalet, and in the UK by a traditional cottage. In our country, rustic interiors are also recognizable and textured. Just don’t draw parallels between Russian Country and dilapidated, rickety, smoky huts, which, as they say, are “breathing on their last legs.” Our Country style is rather associated with the best objects of wooden architecture, the massive use of natural logs and characteristic rustic ornaments, which can be simply stunningly beautiful.

Features of plastic windows in Country style

As we have already found out, in order to achieve full compliance with the style we describe, plastic windows need to be as natural and cozy as possible. The plastic itself, in its pristine snow-white form, is unlikely to fit into the traditional Country style. Without any doubt, plastic windows are very aesthetic, beautiful and perfect. But it is precisely the rigor and even a certain futurism that prevents them from adequately combining with the Country style, if we are talking about PVC windows in their standard form. However, there are no problems for modern manufacturers, including, in providing windows with appropriate aesthetic features.

Tasks of plastic glazing in Country style

Country style requires plastic windows to be not only aesthetically harmonious, but also functional, which is very important for any country house. What is meant by functionality in this particular case? Firstly, PVC country windows should provide the room with the maximum amount of light. Fortunately, plastic windows have absolutely no problems with translucency. Some modern solutions from the plastic industry make it possible to squeeze the maximum out of this indicator, thanks to which the room will be quite light even in winter, when nature gives us too few truly sunny days. Secondly, plastic windows in the Country style should provide the widest possible view of the street space. After all, in the suburban spaces there is no such total construction with concrete boxes, characteristic of a big city. This means that the window should offer an excellent view, which is best admired through plastic windows. Options for floor-to-ceiling windows, panoramic structures, plastic dormer windows, etc. are extremely popular in this regard.

Lamination

Country style loves naturalness, naturalness, naturalness. And since plastic does not fit these concepts, the manufacturer, in order to make the window profile look natural, uses laminating film. With its help, plastic windows turn into “wooden” ones, and the replacement is difficult to discern even upon closer inspection. The film completely replicates the wood structure, affecting not only the issues of color shades, but even the texture of the wood. On the surface of what were once plastic windows, you can see individual wooden patterns, dents and other distinctive elements, emphasizing the complete similarity of the “wood-look” laminating film with the material from which wooden windows are usually made. As you already understand, the vast majority of PVC windows in Country style have a wood tint. But this in no way limits them from an aesthetic point of view, since there are a great many shades of wood. By the way, did you know that laminated “wood” PVC windows will cost you much less than ordinary wooden windows, which lack many of the advantages of plastic structures?

Stained glass drawing

We have already said that a chic view from the window is very important for the Country style. Unfortunately, not all rooms or even entire houses can boast of it. To achieve maximum harmony with the chosen style, the aesthetic limitations of the window panorama can be compensated by the use of modern stained glass patterns on the glass surface of a plastic window. Not only does a stained glass window attract increased attention, it also allows you to view quite ordinary landscapes in a new light, noticing their interesting features that you had not paid attention to before. And when sunlight penetrates through the stained glass pattern, the room will instantly be painted in bright colors, and the multi-colored rays of the sun will create a truly magical atmosphere.

Accessories

In order for a plastic window in the Country style to look stylistically complete, it is necessary to use dark French fittings, whose reliability can only be rivaled by its aesthetics. It is very important to choose the right color of the fittings, which will be in harmony with both the lamination of the window profile and the overall color scheme of the interior.

  Plastic windows for “standard houses”

  A particular lack of mutual understanding between the client and the specialist is observed when trying to find out the cost of a plastic window for a so-called “standard house”. The problem is that today there are a great many modifications of common series of multi-storey residential buildings. This is done both in order to diversify the appearance of new buildings, and in order to adjust their technical characteristics to certain construction and operational conditions. So it turns out that the widespread P-44 series may not actually turn out to be such. We may be talking about new modifications of the P-44K, P-44M, P-44TM, etc. As a result, it turns out that a house of the P-44 series in another modification may no longer have the standard “typical” size of the window opening, but another one, differing both in the direction of reduction and in the direction of increase, depending on what kind of modification is available in mind.

  Types of modern mosquito nets

  In earlier times, the functions of mosquito nets were performed by ordinary medical gauze, which was attached by any available means to a homemade wooden or metal frame, or simply nailed directly to the window. Cheap, cheerful, but not very effective. It was necessary to constantly ensure that the protective sheet fits as tightly as possible to the window frame, since the mosquito will always find a gap. A small hole in the gauze, and now the annoying midge is already flying around your house, keeping you awake with buzzing and periodic bites. Well, if there is no other option, gauze will do. But today there is another option, and it is presented in a wide variety. We are talking about modern mosquito nets for plastic windows, which allow you to achieve maximum protection from insects, provided that the canvas is correctly installed on the open window opening. But what kind of mosquito nets are considered the most effective, functional and original as of today, we are going to tell you in this article.

How to choose curtains for a country-style kitchen

The kitchen, most often of all rooms in a residential building or apartment, is decorated in a rustic style. This creates a peaceful atmosphere and makes staying there feel homely. To choose the right curtains in the country style for the kitchen, you should first of all take into account the national characteristics of the style in which the design of the entire room is made.

Kitchens in the Provence style reflect the features of rustic decoration in the houses of the French Riviera, where it is customary to allocate a large area for this room. The central place is occupied by the dining area. The decoration of the floor, ceiling and walls here uses desaturated whitish tones. Accordingly, the entire kitchen furnishings are made of light wood. Curtains for windows in this country direction should be light pastel colors, mint, lavender or sand color. Especially with a small window, which is not uncommon for kitchens in Provence, and its orientation to the north, where the sun does not appear so often. Curtains for a Provence style kitchen can be plain or with a soft floral pattern.

A completely different color scheme is adopted in the American country style. The interior features here are:

• use for finishing rough wood and natural stone;
• an abundance of textiles in checkered, striped or with stars;
• the use of rugs made using the patchwork technique.

Naturally, curtains for an American country style kitchen should match this harsh environment of a cowboy ranch or hunting lodge. They come in darker colors such as brown or burgundy, dark blue or dark green. Curtains of a single color, checkered or imitation patchwork are welcome here.

Decorating kitchens in the English style and Scandinavian country style implies restraint and austerity without much decoration, and with a predominance of light shades and tones. The colors used in the interior are:

• pale green;
• grey;
• cream;
• light blue.

For draping windows, light, airy curtains in light colors, often just white, are welcome. Kitchen curtains in English country style are often decorated with a pattern of roses. This is considered a classic in this design direction.

Decorative framing of kitchen windows should be both functional and practical. Using natural fabrics for curtains helps create an environmentally friendly corner in the house and natural freshness. After all, fabrics such as linen or cotton allow air to pass through well.

Choosing curtain lengths

When considering the design of window decor in a country style, it is important to consider what room they are intended for.

• For a living room or bedroom you need long curtains made of lightweight material. They can be complemented with frills.
• Curtains of any length are acceptable for the kitchen area. The main thing is that they are comfortable and in harmony with the design of the entire kitchen.

Homemade rustic curtains

Before you buy curtain fabric, you need to calculate the length of the future product. To do this, you need to measure the distance from the cornice to the floor or to the window sill. For long curtains, the length usually does not reach the floor by about 9 cm. It is important that the curtain completely covers the heating device.

It is necessary to add a few centimeters to the measured distance to hem the future curtain. You should also decide on the width. In stores it is standard: about one and a half, two or three meters. To calculate, you need to multiply the window width by 1.5. This will be the width of future panels.

After the fabric is purchased, it is cut. Before cutting out, the fabric should be washed and ironed. Pattern options are different: rectangle, triangle, octagon, etc.

Before sewing, you need to fold the edges and baste them. Then, following the basting line, with a long line (4-6 mm), sew on top the braid with loops for hanging. To adjust the threads of the braid, you need to pull it out and use them to set the desired width. Make side seams and stitch the bottom.

The final stage of making curtains with your own hands is re-ironing the finished product.

Country style kitchen curtains will add coziness to the room and recreate the atmosphere of a country house

In this section, we will take a closer look at what to look for when choosing stylish curtains for a country-style kitchen.

The main criteria for choosing country curtains

This interior is especially good because there are no special style restrictions: the choice is made by the owners themselves. But we recommend that you take into account the nuance - window drapery should be similar in tone and pattern to other kitchen textiles: tablecloths, chair covers, towels or napkins.

Drapery should be harmoniously combined with furniture and decoration

The following instructions will tell you what nuances you should pay attention to when choosing the ideal drapery for your kitchen window.

• Material . As a rule, country music involves the use of natural fabrics for textiles: silk, linen, cotton, cambric or chintz. They are not environmentally friendly, but they also fill the kitchen with a warm country house atmosphere.

A rustic interior presupposes the presence of natural materials, but they are increasingly being replaced with high-quality synthetics

But the use of curtains made of synthetic or mixed fabrics is also allowed. In terms of decorative qualities, they are no less attractive than their natural counterparts, but they are much more practical and easy to care for.

The popularity of synthetic fabrics is due to their practicality and ease of care.

• Length of the product . The most popular option for window drapery in a rustic style is short curtains that do not block access to the window sill. This allows you to use it to maximum advantage, using it as a place to store kitchen utensils.

The length of the product largely depends on the size of the kitchen. For a small room, choose short models; for a spacious room, choose long ones.

If you decide to use long curtains, then you should give preference to light translucent materials that will not weigh down the space.

• Color . The color scheme of a rustic interior is characterized by a neutral palette. The same applies to curtains. Curtains in beige, cream, milky, sand, and pale blue colors will look most organic.

Too bright shades of drapery look ridiculous in a rustic style

• Drawing . Textiles in a country interior should be decorated with checkered and striped patterns and floral motifs. Drapery with: spikelets, houses, fruits, chickens or pets will look no less interesting. The patterns themselves can be brightly colored, thereby standing out against a neutral background.

Animal images, geometric patterns and floral motifs are what you need for rustic decor.

Country style curtain models

• Lambrequin, marquise . A rich, airy pelmet made of a plain fabric or fabric with a floral pattern can be combined with light tulle or sophisticated Roman shades or blinds. But it looks no less impressive as an independent decorative element.

Beautiful folds of lambrequins will add solemnity to the interior

Lambrequin can be successfully combined with blinds or Roman curtains

• Curtains with tiebacks . Loose panels united by one lambrequin, which are carefully secured to the sides of the window with special tiebacks. Tiebacks made from linen, matting, lace or satin will look very interesting.

As a basis for tiebacks, you can use strips of linen, matting, lace or satin

• Curtains with frills, scallops . Scallops gathered into a triangular curtain and a rectangular frill gracefully cover a country-style window. They transmit light perfectly, which is very important for kitchens with poor natural light.

• Roman curtains . They are rightfully considered one of the most stylish and practical options for window drapery, the price of which is affordable for everyone. They do not take up much space (which is good for small windows) and make it easy to adjust the level of lighting in the room.
