PROPERTY NEWS - The country classic look never goes out of style. "A country-style décor theme is more of a lifestyle than a décor style. The style is a long-term investment and by adding sentimental pieces throughout your various life stages, the look and feel evolves to become unique to each person, yet has a similar lived-in thread that pulls it all together," says Elbe Truter, buying manager at Biggie Best.
Truter says that it's easy to bring the country feel to your home.
Tips for getting the country classic décor to look right:
- French Provençal and Boho chic décor work beautifully with the country classic look.
- Invest in heritage or heirloom pieces that have a lived-in lookand use quilts to add warmth and charm to the look.
- Choose a soft, calm, monotone colour palette in shades of neutrals, greys and whites.
- Go slow - Elbe believes that the best way to incorporate the country classic look into both your interior and exterior spaces is with one beautiful piece at a time.
Elegantly understated bedside tables, blanket boxes and chests of drawers are perfectly suited to the country classic look. However, the pieces are equally at home in a sophisticated city apartment and a relaxed country home.
