Country Home Decorating

Country home decorating - using themes to create that country feel.

In this website we provide many country home decorating ideas specific to the various rooms in your cabin or lodge. This section focuses on some of the themes you might consider incorporating into your country decor:

Sunflower decor

We love our sunflowers! We grow them, feed the seeds to the birds, snack on the seeds ourselves and love the images on some of the sunflower decor items in our home.

And what's not to love!!! The sunflower evokes warm happy feelings. It's the perfect motif as a highlight or as the main theme.

Did you know there is evidence that sunflowers have been cultivated since at least 2600 BC in Mexico?

They can grow to tremendous heights... with reports of plants up to 40' (12m), although the average is 8' to 12' (2.5 to 3.5 m).

We've gathered some terrific sunflower decor items for your shopping pleasure... enjoy!

Rooster decor

Rooster images offer a touch of the country and a link to simpler times. Perhaps they remind you of childhood visits to a family farm. You can collect a broad variety of rooster items from dishes, cannisters and other kitchen related items to knick-knacks and statues to furniture and rugs! A rooster theme blends well with barnwood.

Antler decor

Antler decor will appeal to the wildlife enthusiast. Antlers are used for decorations, chandeliers, lamps, bases for tables and more. While some are the "real thing" many items on the market today are reproductions or "faux antlers" made from resin.

Regarding real antlers, did you know that the males of the elk, moose, and deer species shed their antlers? Their antlers literally fall or are rubbed off once a year usually between February and April, depending on the location. The shed antlers can be collected and recycled as useful and country home decorating items.

Fishing cabin decor

The fishing enthusiast will appreciate a focus on fishing paraphernalia and a host of fishing related items. Decorating with old, used fishing gear can be a fun, creative, and inexpensive was to personalize your decor. Yard sales and estate sales are great for purchasing inexpensive, used fishing equipment for your decorating projects. You can feature fishing nets, fishing signs, fishing accessories, fishing baskets, prints, photos, and trophy mounted fish - the one that didn't get away! You can also purchase many new items designed for the fishing theme. Fishing decor combines nicely with other country home decorating accents.

Bear and moose decor

Some say that to decorate with bears is putting the energy of the bear within grasp. Others just enjoy the imagery and the wide variety of product available with the bear and moose themes - from collectibles to linens to furniture. Both offer a touch of the whimsical and a connection to the great outdoors that works well in a lodge or cabin setting. Invite some bear and moose into your country home.

Barnwood decor

The ultimate recycling for your cabin interior! Barnwood can be used in your mountain or woodland cabin, ski chalet, or lake retreat. Each piece of barnwood has unique character. You can use it to panel your walls, for picture and mirror frames, furniture, and more.
