The Challenge: Country Chic Living Room & Bedroom Design

The client’s journey to Decorilla for a country chic home makeover began when they acquired a new one-bedroom apartment. Excited and eager, they approached seeking design ideas and a professional touch that would infuse the space with rustic elegance. Moving from a smaller, modern studio, the client envisioned a home that radiated style and comfort, tailored not just for themselves but also for their beloved dog and visiting boyfriend. Their brief was clear, yet open to the imaginative expertise of Decorilla’s design team, asking for:

  • A neutral color palette enriched with bursts of color and natural elements
  • A dog-friendly environment
  • Rustic, country chic living room flair but suited to an urban environment 
  • Flowers, greenery, and natural rustic touches

Design Inspiration: Sophistication Meets Country

The client’s inspiration gallery vividly depicted their desired rustic-chic style. Each a vignette into the desired aesthetic of their future home, the images showcased a harmonious blend of the best living room colors, natural wood elements, and textural contrasts. Open shelving and airy layouts also signaled a preference for a spacious and comfortable home. In addition, the furniture selection emphasized a pet-friendly environment but with an elegant feel.

Some images flaunted exquisite decor reminiscent of beachy schemes, with vintage details cultivating a welcoming yet elaborate environment. Another key feature were plush living room rug ideas for added texture.

In addition, the client specifically mentioned, “I don’t want any TV in the living room,” focusing on fostering a more traditional, conversational ambiance.

The inspiration gallery provided by the client was a cornerstone in creating the design strategy for their dream home. In tandem with the answers from Decorilla’s interactive questionnaire, it allowed for a thorough understanding of their creative ideas and functional needs. In return, the team pinpointed two expert design professionals with a particular affection for the desired style. 

The client was then presented with two stunning proposals. Both promised to transform the bare rooms into a refined and personalized retreat, honoring their penchant for natural beauty. The client was faced with a challenge of identifying their ideal designer. Finally, Sonia C. emerged as the perfect candidate, bringing to the table a fresh and insightful interpretation of the theme.

The final realization of country chic living room ideas showcases the designer’s ability to source items that extend beyond visual expectations to fulfill the function. The layout fosters a flow dedicated to relaxation and social interaction, devoid of any televisions, as per the client’s request. The decor’s palette, dominated by soft whites and grays, is punctuated by rich wood tones, achieving the sought-after scheme that feels serene and dog-friendly.  

The client’s instructions were clear: “The low, real wood storage bureau and wooden rocking chair must come with me.” And the designer delivered, blending the pieces seamlessly into the new arrangement.

Speaking of detail, the attention put into it is particularly notable in accessorizing. Careful curation of decor elements such as the textured area rug, decorative pillows, and table accents fully resonates with the country chic decor aesthetic. Moreover, the strategic placement of indoor plants brings in a refreshing burst of greenery, aligning with the client’s love for natural elements. The modern chandelier meanwhile casts a warm glow, enhancing the welcoming ambiance while artfully bridging the gap between rustic and contemporary elements.

Dressed in luxurious linens, an elegant, ample bed promises comfort enhanced by the accent pillows’ subtle texture variety. A patterned area rug in soothing blues anchors the room, providing a soft contrast to the warm wooden tones of the furniture.
