Memory lane
Echoing an earlier time, the romance in this room comes from colours of the palest lilac and vintage creams, soft fabrics, and new furnishings inspired by old. Elegant and simple, a linen-upholstered bed features traditional wrought iron details; layers of plain and patterned bed linen and pillows create a soft spot for reading.
Furniture in creamy colours - such as a chest of drawers and dressing table - dresses up the otherwise plain architectural features in this home, and the clean lines and vintage hardware complement the room's old-fashioned quality.

To enhance a country theme for a bedroom use traditional-style lighting. This type can be one that mimics a kerosene lamp, or a lamp that has a base that's simple wrought-iron, antique brass or copper. Keep window dressings simple. Shutters or shades are great for windows, while giving you extra privacy.
However, if you are fortunate enough to live in the country or have a private setting in which you feel secure, make use of a beautiful natural framed window to enjoy the sunlight and moonlight.

A touch of romance
Still with the style of a country home, and familiar yet distinctly different, this romantic bedroom in cottage style offers a cosy place to sleep underneath the roof. A solid beam sections off the bedroom and the hard finish is softened with the addition of an ever-so sheer curtain that keeps insects at bay.
The shape of the steel bed is indisputably traditional, but the black finish brings it into the 21st century. Incorporating graduating shades of white, barest blush pink, and black in the room adds depth and update this cottage style bedroom.

The theme needs to be carried throughout the entire room and include accent pieces and wall decorations. There are numerous home décor stores that offer everything from throw pillows to handmade furniture with which to decorate essentially every room in the home.
Shop around, or browse through home decor magazines to find that special look that appeals to you.
When it comes to country home decorating, plenty of white space is more desirable than trying to fill every gap and small space with accents in a country motif - ending with a cluttered room. The adage 'Less is best' was never more appropriate that in decorating for a country home look!
