The color plays an important role in every interior decoration. While achieving country style it is even more important. Since in the past the colors used were mostly natural dyes they were earthy colors. If we wish to have country style the choice of colors should be near to those natural colors. Typical red that is used in country homes is terracotta or brick red.
Bright red is used only for furnishings or accent pieces.
Since bright red is a very overpowering color, one has to be careful while using it. Blue and white is a favorite country combination. It is very pleasing and soothing. Total effect can be achieved by using blue and white everywhere, i.e. on the walls, furnishings, draperies etc and by adding accent pieces of different colors like red, yellow. The only yellow used in country style is, golden orange derived from yellow ocher color.
