How to Decorate a Master Bedroom in Primitive Country

Embrace the past with a warm and comfortable master bedroom decorated in a primitive country style. Deep wall colors, pine and twig furniture, handmade quilts and braided rugs create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Handmade and simple are the keywords for any picture frames, mirrors or other decorative accessories for your bedroom. Step back in time to an uncomplicated, down-to-earth master bedroom that you can easily create with these decorating tips.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pine furniture
• Quilts
• Cotton linens and curtains
• Braided rugs
• Twig furniture
• Old coffee can
• Silk wildflowers
• Lighting

1. Paint your master bedroom indigo blue, deep green or rustic red for a warm and cozy atmosphere. Find a poster bed made from pine with matching dresser, but find mismatched pine bedside tables for a more eclectic look. Light-colored pine furniture contrasts beautifully against the deep richness of your walls. Hardwood floors in deeper shades of oak or cherry complement and showcase the lightness of the pine.

2. Find linens made from natural cotton fibers and decorated with plaids, botanicals or solid colors that coordinate with your wall coverings. Colorful quilts work as bed coverings or use them as wall art, framed or unframed. Simple cotton curtains or painted shutters covering and braided cotton rugs in different shapes and sizes work well in a primitive country master bedroom.

3. Create a sitting area with chairs and a table made from twigs for a charmingly rustic focal point in your bedroom. Add cushions and a table cloth made from matching cotton or linen fabric that coordinates with, but does not match, your bed linens. A plain white vase or an antique coffee can filled with wildflowers and a picture frame made from pine or twigs would complement the primitive country appeal of your master bedroom.

4. Hang a wrought-iron chandelier or sconces on the wall beside the bed. Make grubby or mason jar candles and place lanterns around the room for additional lighting. You can also find wooden lamps or lantern-style electric bedside lighting that remain true to the primitive country decorating style while employing the comforts of modern conveniences

Tips & Warnings
