Using Country DecoratingIn Your Florida Home


Even if you’ve never considered home decorating before, capturing the country decorating style in your Florida home can be easy if you know what to do.  Here are some approaches on how you can provide the look and feel of the country in your Florida home.

Use basic red, green and blue tones along with beige colors for this style.  Get paint cards that match your color scheme.  These will be quite useful when trying to match fabrics and accessories in the store.

In the Florida home, consider accessorizing with artwork, vases and accents combined with setees and chairs.  You want to end up with a comfortable, unfussy style that utilizes stained or painted pine furniture.  Give some thought to the accessories and furniture you use in order to augment your country decorating scheme.

Your home decorating project should include a lot of outdoorsy and country stuff.  Use snow shoes, baskets and the like to add appeal.  Window treatments for the country style should be plain.  Try adding charm to your windows with plain unadorned curtains.  After you get that perfect look on your windows, you might notice the walls are bland by comparison and for decorative wall decor, you could consider adding folk art and primitive prints in plain frames.

Lighting is an essential factor in any decorating scheme.  Florida homes are more practical with ceiling fans and accent lights as their lighting source.  Pick lighting that is of a country or natural theme with simple lines to match the rooms decor.

While you may not think too much about it,  flooring plays a vital role in your design look so adding accent rugs to your country style Florida home can really improve it’s charm.  What you should consider for your calm and comfortable look is braided or oriental rugs in earthtones.

Adding just the right amount of decorative accessories will give your room a top notch look so think about enhancing your country design with  baskets hanging from the ceiling or on tables or fresh fruit in rustic wooden bowls as well as cheese boxes, vintage boxes, and milk paint items to complete your decorating theme.  For a softer appeal add pillows that are plain and simple and also a few sprigs of greenery and plants.

Adapting the country decorating style to suit your Florida home can be a great way to get a new look and, if you plan it out professionally, it will be easy and fun.  Shop wisely for exactly the items in your plan and place them accordingly and you’ll have the great look of the country in no time!
