The essential ingredients to get this look include:
Lighting
A burnished bronze fixture hangs low over the pine table, casting warm light and producing a comfy country effect.
Fabric
A richly detailed print with fruit depicted in full colour contrasts perfectly with a rusty-red solid and a blue-and-white plaid.
Window treatments
The tailored valance frames three print panels like pieces of art. Crisp pleats, a polished paneling effect, and multihued fringe make it a showstopper. (See below for a complementary window treatment.)
Seating
Chairs, reupholstered in contrasting fabrics and filled with generous padding, offer inviting resting spots for a busy family to gather around the table.
Personal touches
The homeowner's collection of transferware is on prominent display in the side hutch.
In contrast to the lush main draperies, a simple sheer hangs from an ornate rod on the side door [see image right], allowing easy access to the sun-drenched patio beyond.
