* Advice on choosing color, fabric furniture, and much more

Country living has evolved into an international style that celebrates rural pleasures and the simple life. Relaxed and informal, assured and unpretentious, it offers an appealing refuge from day-to-day stress. In Influential Country Styles, best-selling interiors and antiques author Judith Miller looks at how country traditions from around the world have influenced home décor around the world. All the world’s varieties of country style are included, from the rustic simplicity of a spare American Shaker interior, to the comfortable clutter of an English cottage; from the exuberance of a colorful Mediterranean villa to the cool lines of a Scandinavian farmhouse. Origins and development of each style, natural resources and elements used, key characteristics, and textiles, furniture, decorative arts, wall and floor coverings, and more are examined--making each look both easy to understand and easy to re-create in the reader’s own home. Miller’s informative text, accompanied by full-color photography, celebrates the warmth, simplicity, and spirit of the rural tradition in interior design.
