While Americans prefer to style their rooms in specific styles, one of the most popular styles is the country decoration. In fact 27% of all Americans do up at least one of their rooms in country style, also referred to as contemporary style. This style may prove to be a little expensive for all the rooms. Given below are some tips on how to do up your room in country style, without having to spend too much money:

1. Country style decorators choose pastel shades for the walls as it gives the room a spacious and comfortable aura. So go for white or cream colored paint for your room.

2. You should then focus on simplifying the interior dcor of your home. Choose items and furniture made of wood. This has a very fresh feel about it and is less expensive than plastic or glass.

3. Avoid bold patterns for the room. Choose soft-colored items and patterns. Traditional accessories go best with this type of decoration.

4. A Wise way to save money on new furniture is to shop at the garage sales. You can always touch up any damaged part with paint or cloth, etc.

5. Put some fresh flowers in unused vases. Hang decorative plants in many places in the house to give your home a warm country style feel.

6. You may decide to keep the windows free from curtains. This can give the room a simple yet elegant look. Since the outside view is visible, it lends a comfortable and natural feel. You can choose simple drapery panels, valances or even Roman shades.

Wooden floors suit the country style decoration best. A floor without any floor covering looks most natural and stylish. Cotton rugs or sea grass mattresses can be kept near the bed or the sitting area.

The tips mentioned above can save you from incurring heavy expenses while doing up your home in country style design.
