Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Country can overwhelm small spaces. Focus on warm colors and one or two traditional pieces. Let one collection shine rather than displaying many. Keep the warmth while editing quantity. For a small guest room: Small guest rooms can still be welcoming. A double bed is acceptable. Use wall-mounted nightstands. Provide a folding luggage rack. Small rooms feel cozy when well-appointed.
Large Space Tips
Large country spaces embrace multiple seating areas, generous dining tables, and abundant collections. Create intimate corners within larger rooms for comfortable living. In a larger guest room: Large guest rooms can become full guest suites with sitting area, desk, and generous storage. Consider a small hospitality station with coffee maker and mini fridge.
Budget-Friendly
Country style builds through collection over time. Estate sales, antique shops, and thrift stores yield authentic pieces. Focus on one or two quality antiques and fill in gradually.
Luxury Approach
Source museum-quality American antiques, authentic folk art, and handmade quilts. Work with dealers specializing in American country antiques.
