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 sunroom: Small sunrooms work well as reading nooks or breakfast spots. A loveseat or two chairs with a small table is sufficient. Use vertical space for plants. Keep it uncluttered to feel spacious.
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 sunroom: Large sunrooms can serve as true secondary living spaces with distinct zones for lounging, dining, and gardening. Consider a full dining set and multiple seating groups.
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.
