Country homes are some of the simplest to decorate, in part because they lend themselves well to a mix-and-match style of design. This might not be the case with a townhouse or city apartment, where one might expect to see a uniform theme running through the place. To gather ideas for redesigning the interior of your country home, crack open a few homemaking magazines – Better Homes and Gardens is a safe bet that will probably be available at the local library.
Don’t be intimidated by the idea of redesigning your rooms from scratch – you most likely won’t need to. Some of the best primitive home décor is inspired by pre-existing elements in the house. If you find some old antiques lying around, make a few trips to local thrift stores to try to find complements. Family heirlooms – such as old portraits and furniture – provide excellent center pieces; you can design entire rooms around them.
