Nowadays, a country house is less and less associated with gardening work. Now this is a place for solitude from the bustle of the city. The interior of a country house is different from that of an apartment. Based on whether the building will be used in winter and what tasks it will have to perform, the interior is arranged.
Cottage interior styles
For country interiors, as well as for houses and apartments, the use of styles is relevant. Typically, the following directions are used for landscaping: modern, Scandinavian style, chalet, country, Provence.
Modern style
In a modern style, a country house interior involves the use of wallpaper, paint, stone and brick finishing. The furniture selected is functional and modern without unnecessary frills. When arranging a dacha in this direction, rich and neutral shades, a small table, a fireplace, and minimalist decor will be relevant.
Chalet
Exclusively in a country house, decorated with natural wood and stone, as well as with an installed fireplace, you can create a chalet style. There should be animalistic decor - pottery, handmade textiles, wicker furniture, an attic made of timber, protruding canopies. The room should look like a shepherd's dwelling.
The bedrooms are located on the second floor, the kitchen and living room are on the first floor. Plaster of natural shades, wood whitening agent, and protective varnish are used as finishing materials.
Scandinavian style
Urban furniture and an abundance of decorative elements are things that the Scandinavian country interior does not accept. This style is characterized by calm tones, wooden furniture and decoration, and restraint in decor.
Country
Because of its specificity, the rustic style, or country as it is also called, is very popular among summer residents. It is distinguished by natural shades, flowers in pots, embroidered or checkered textiles, and wooden finishes. A functional stove is suitable to complete the style.
Provence
Provence style is ideal for a summer version of a country house. Thoughtful decorative elements are used here (porcelain tableware, ruffles, cafe curtains, floral embroidery), a fireplace, and special light furnishings.
Bathroom
Another room without which it is impossible to imagine a comfortable life in a private home is the bathroom. Of course, its area leaves much to be desired, but the use of modern furniture and equipment will smooth out the problem and allow you to create a comfortable room, inside which you can take water treatments. It is to the bathroom that we go in the morning to get ready for work, and it is here that we return before going to bed. Of course, a large bathtub is out of the question, but modern shower stalls are no less comfortable. It is better to store household chemicals in small cabinets, but open shelves will save space.
When decorating a bathroom, you need to actively use the walls, securing hooks for bathrobes and towels. The room should be decorated in light colors, complementing the interior with furniture with glossy facades and mirrors. A special role is given to lighting, filling the interior space with light, visually increasing the dimensions of the bathroom.
Decoration of rooms in the country house
Depending on the purpose of the room, there are certain rules for its design.
Kitchen
This room may be small in a country house. But at the same time, it has a basic set of tables and cabinets, as well as all the communications necessary for this room. It is decorated with painted plates, handmade items, curtains, tablecloths, and fresh flowers. A tabletop appropriate for a country house is made of wood, stone, or tile.
Living room
A fireplace in a rustic living room is the main attribute of the house. The interior may vary depending on the chosen style. You can use a large sofa with a massive table, carpets with antique furniture, large tableware, paintings.
Bedroom
On the second floor of a country house, as a rule, there is a bedroom. It is finished with plaster or wallpaper, and the timber is covered with a protective varnish. There must be a hinged wardrobe and chest of drawers. The wooden or metal bed is complemented by drawers in which it is convenient to store things or bedding.
How to decorate a country house with your own hands?
If the owner of a country house has artistic talent, it can be used when decorating the premises. In this way, you will be able to create an excellent interior inside a country house with your own hands, look at the photo, and perhaps it will inspire you to create something of your own, exclusive.
Decoupage of an old wardrobe
Using ordinary paint, for example, acrylic, you can create an ornament that will decorate the living room or bedroom. If the house is made of timber or lined with wooden panels inside, it is worth applying the design to the wooden sheets, and then attaching them to the wall in the right place.

In addition to walls, a creative person can independently process old furniture. For example, a restored wardrobe can be covered with patterns and a layer of varnish, after which it will become not just a place to store clothes, but also decorate the interior of a country house.
Creating an arrangement for a brick fireplace
As for the rooms, even in a small country house there should be rooms such as a living room, bedroom and kitchen. It is not at all necessary that they be huge, but it is still necessary to separate a place for receiving guests and drinking tea, a room where the owners of the house will sleep, and a room for cooking.
Decorative fireplace in the living room of a country house
In the living room you can often find such an important thing for a country house as a fireplace. You can lay it out yourself, but to do this you need to know the operating principle of such systems. Otherwise, improper use of the fireplace can lead to tragedy.
Cozy decor with wooden beams on the ceiling
If you don’t want to burn a fireplace with wood, you can take a closer look at decorative elements of this type. They look no worse than a regular fireplace, but are absolutely safe and work from the mains. At the same time, such fireplaces can give the interior more comfort and can even heat the air during the cold season.

There can be a lot of options for decorating a dacha, and most of them do not require major expenses. The main thing here is for the owners of the country house to feel comfortable and cozy, so ostentatious luxury in this case is absolutely useless.
Attic design
The attic gives the country house the advantage of additional living space. A bedroom or children's room is set up in this place. Windows of different sizes or shapes and the slope of the roof can give an individual look to the attic. Under the arch, drawers are made that will help effectively save space. There is also a games room with board games, parallel bars, and a hammock.
They can make a very stylish attic:
- good natural lighting, which is complemented by lamps and lamps;
- to ensure sufficient natural light, the window is made as open as possible, and curtains of suitable length are used to highlight it;
- necessary built-in furniture that does not clutter up the space;
- painting of walls is carried out according to the principle of zoning, which also allows you to mask the difference between the walls.
Stove and fireplace in the interior
A fireplace and stove, in addition to their function of heating the room, serve as an excellent independent accent of the home. Therefore, if they are available, you should not clutter the country interior with additional decorative elements.
Fireplaces built into the wall are called open fireplaces. Closed - enclosed with heat-resistant glass and heat a large area. The fireplace is decorated with tiles, cast iron panels, and carvings.
A stove can become an original dacha element, which also perfectly heats a country house. The stove can be mobile, which allows it to be installed in any room, or it can be made stationary. It is cheaper than a fireplace and has an additional, undeniable advantage - you can cook food here.
Small country house
With proper zoning of space and selection of compact furniture, a small country house can be functional and cozy.
With the help of a corner set in the corner of the living room, you can create a spectacular kitchen. Organizers and all condiments here are attached to the wall.
You can combine a bedroom with the living room. In such a room there is a sofa book and an extendable chair. It’s a good idea to arrange a bedroom in the attic and veranda. A loft bed located on a closet or a bunk bed are suitable for children. A rack, screen, folding bar counter are used to zone space in the house.
You can heat a small house with a mobile radiator or use stove heating.
Economy class interior
Surely you have already guessed that the design of an economy class country house is very similar to the design of a small residential plot. In addition to compactness, it is worth focusing on practicality and, of course, the optimal price of the items you are going to purchase. Check out these three universal tips:
- ✓ Divide
the house into a bedroom, living room and kitchen. There is no need to overload the space with furniture. The kitchen has enough table, stove, stools and a refrigerator. In the living room there is a sofa and a TV, in the bedroom there are beds with a small chest of drawers for storing things. - ✓ Decorate
the space. For decoration, use not too pretentious paintings, linen tablecloths with embroidery and lace. Place fresh flowers on the windowsills, and lay rugs made from old rags on the floor. - ✓ Avoid
plastic in the interior and shiny surfaces. They look cheap and can ruin the atmosphere of a country house.
