How to Decorate a Bedroom in a Primitive Country Style

Transform your bedroom into a primitive country style oasis.

Decorating in a primitive country style generally entails a lot of natural textures and colors in the home. Decorating in the bedroom is no different. Accessories play a large part in signifying primitive country décor, as well. The theme is usually characterized by a rustic feeling.

Things You'll Need

• Paint
• Sand
• Wood or stone flooring
• Country style rug
• Wooden frame bed
• Throw blankets
• Throw pillows
• Floor-length cotton or calico curtains

Instructions

1. Utilize rich earth tones such as terra cotta, deep green and natural wood colors to bring warmth to your bedroom walls by painting them. Add a small amount of sand to the paint while mixing to give the walls a textured feeling.

2. Opt for wood or stone tile flooring. If wood or stone is not in your budget, look for a laminate that imitates wood or stone. The natural look of the wood or stone enhances the primitive country style décor.

3. Place a country style rug on the floor for added warmth. This is a perfect opportunity to introduce complementary colors to your overall décor. Look for a rug that is predominantly natural colored with a small design in it.

4. Implement clean lines in your primitive country style décor. Choose a wooden frame bed without a lot of ornate carving and with a standard headboard. Simple, clean lines are what you need. Use throw blankets and pillows to add comfort and style to the bed.

5. Cover windows with floor-length cotton or calico weave curtains in a color that is complementary to your walls. The curtains can be pulled back with a plain sash or a small piece of rope. Avoid "fancy" fabrics such as satin, silk or chintz.
