Country house style

Naturalness and coziness

Do you know what makes the country house style so special? For me, it's this mix of tradition, nature, and a whole lot of cosiness. Wood here, a few vintage-style furniture pieces there, and your home instantly feels like a haven of comfort. Rugs are the finishing touch. They bring warmth, make the room cosy, and instantly give character to every space.

Sometimes you only realise the impact a style can have upon a second glance. The country house style feels calm, but you sense it immediately as soon as you enter the room. Soft colours, natural materials, and vintage-style furniture ensure that everything appears harmonious, whether in the countryside or right in the city.

What I particularly love is the authenticity of this style. Real wood, fabrics that feel pleasant to the touch, and materials like linen, cotton, or wool bring genuine warmth to the space. Small imperfections show that there is real craftsmanship involved. That’s exactly what makes the country house style so charming.

With rugs from Naintrading, you can perfectly implement this style. Whether in the living room, bedroom, or kitchen, handcrafted Oriental rugs give your space a natural, harmonious aura. Believe me, you can immediately tell when a rug is missing.

Why country house style rugs

Without a carpet, a room often feels somewhat empty. Country-style rugs not only bring warmth but also connect furniture, colours, and accessories. Particularly practical are rugs made from sheep's wool or linen. They fit perfectly with rustic charm, are durable, and easy to care for.

And the selection is vast. Classic Oriental rugs like Nain , Tabriz , Bidjar , Moud , or Sarough appear elegant and retain their impact over generations. For those who prefer a cozier feel, there are Persian Gabbeh , Indo Gabbeh , or Ziegler Modern . Also, vintage rugs or Ghashghai add beautiful accents and perfectly round off the country style.

A Nain rug in the living room instantly brings calm and harmony with its delicate shades of blue and intricate patterns. In contrast, a Persian Gabbeh adds a relaxed, cosy touch, ideal for spaces where life is lived to the fullest. Vintage rugs particularly showcase old furniture pieces beautifully. Each rug has its own character and brings a home to life in a distinctive way.

Country House Style Rugs truly make a room feel homely. Hand-knotted pieces made from high-quality sheep wool feel soft, are robust, and durable. Colours such as cream, beige, grey, or delicate green blend harmoniously and enhance the natural atmosphere.

What’s special is that each rug is unique. Small differences showcase the craftsmanship and make it charming and individual. You will see that with a rug, the room feels much cozier.

Moreover, country house style rugs also serve practical purposes. They warm the feet, dampen noise, and structure spaces. Especially in houses with high ceilings or wooden floors, the difference is immediately noticeable. A rug makes everything more homely, simply wonderful.

Dos and Don’ts

What one should do

Choose natural materials: Sheep wool, linen or cotton are durable, easy to care for, and pleasant to the touch.
Utilise delicate patterns: Subtle designs or floral patterns fit perfectly and do not overwhelm the room.
Use rugs as room dividers: Especially in open living areas, they create structure and visually separate spaces.
Pay attention to size: A rug should be large enough for furniture to partially sit on it.

What one should avoid

Avoid bright colours: Soft tones like beige, cream, pastel or grey create a harmonious effect.
Don’t combine too many rugs: One or two key rugs are sufficient for beautiful accents.
Don’t view rugs solely as decoration: They also provide warmth and comfort, especially on wooden or stone floors.

For the bedroom in country house style, Hamedan or Shiraz rugs in warm colours are suitable. A small rug at the foot of the bed creates a cosy atmosphere. You can also place two small rugs on the sides, so your feet land softly on the floor in the morning.

Country-style kitchen

In the kitchen, what matters most is that everything is both practical and cosy. Indo Gabbeh or Ziegler Modern Rugs are durable, look great, and make standing at the stove or sink more pleasant. Light-coloured rugs or delicate patterns create a friendly and inviting atmosphere, while natural tones or pastel colours harmonise well with wooden cabinets, vintage furniture, or open shelves. Small rugs in front of work surfaces or the stove, wooden or ceramic bowls, plant pots with fresh herbs, and vintage kitchen utensils instantly bring a country house flair. A runner along the work surface not only provides comfort but also gives the kitchen a warm, structured look. Imagine cooking in your kitchen, stepping onto the soft Indo Gabbeh rug in front of the stove, and everything feels much cozier. The colours complement the wood, the herbs are fragrant, and the space simply invites you to stay longer.
