Country Decorating Homewares
Country decorating wholesale homewares are all about selling furnishings and decorative items that inspire the feeling of a home in the countryside. This style is especially popular the further away that you get from the big city. But truthfully even city dwellers like to add a touch of the country to their homes to make it more comfortable. Country decorating can be a lot of things. Usually it involves details such as animal décor (especially livestock), cosy patterns like plaid, lace, and patriotic prints, and homewares that are influenced by old fashioned styles. A country decorating display is sure to attract shoppers from every walk of life. It is easy to create a rural display using the plentiful selection of wholesale homewares found only at La Vida.
Animal Details and Décor
A tried and true symbol of the countryside is the chicken or rooster. Many people collect images of chickens or roosters. No one knows why exactly, perhaps because they are so delicious. Like a roasted chicken turning over and over in the oven or an egg frying in the morning, a cheerful rooster peaking out of the corner adds to the countrified feeling of home. They can be arranged as ornaments on a shelf or mantle piece as well as they do displayed on the wall as a clock or tin sign.
Other animals that fit right into a country decorating scheme could be a pig, rabbit, or horse. For example decorative metal animals can be displayed in the garden or used to prop open kitchen doorways. Birds, butterflies, dragonflies and lizards are reminiscent of the garden and contribute to a provincial aspect. No rural abode is complete without at least one house cat sauntering around the property. Replications of our furry friends can be incorporated in numerous ways.
Cosy Patterns and Prints
A pastoral design scheme includes plenty of pillows, throws, and other soft furnishings perfect for curling up with next to the fireplace. The comforting feel of a soft check or cable knit throw can brighten up a room simply by throwing it on an armchair or sofa. Plenty of cushions look good and give you a place to rest your head. In the kitchen or dining area the table should be draped in an agrarian table cloth or runner of floral or stripes, before being topped off with a vase full of fresh flowers.
Walls can bear cosy patterns and prints just as well in the form of canvas or signs. Peaceful rural scenes or pastoral images should be artfully placed around each room. The picture could be a delightful rendition of birds in a field of flowers or something as simple as a doorway or piece of fruit. Rustic tin signs inscribed with messages of inspiration stir up feelings of love, joy, hop, faith, home, and more. Photographs of cherished loved ones dressed up with rubbed frames complete the homey touch.
Old Fashioned Homewares
Country living involves a lot of antiques or homewares that are modelled after classic designs of the past. Lanterns and candleholders line walkways or shelves imparting the soft glow that only burning wax can provide. Woven basketwares can be filled with fresh flowers or fruit and placed on the flat surface of a countertop or table. Glass canisters, jars, and bottles with a vintage feel look as though they belong in a soda fountain or sweet shop.
The old timey look of metal furniture and other homewares suggests the baroque look of a simpler time. Metal plant holders and stools are crafted to resemble the elaborate twists and turns of the houseplants they support. Tinkling bells hung on the patio catch the breeze as it passes. Display ceramic plates, old books, and other pretty things on a metal stand for a country decorating look that sells. Even antiqued keys, once used as a way to unlock a door, are aesthetically interesting despite their obsolete design.
