Country style is making a comeback
Long reserved for holiday homes or renovated barns, country style is now finding its place in our interiors. But forget dark beams and checkered curtains: this new version is intended to be softer, more natural, and lighter. At Debongout , we love this way of living that blends authenticity and modernity, around real materials and objects that stand the test of time.
Back to basics
It all starts with the materials. Light or weathered wood, washed linen, handcrafted ceramics, rattan, and stone are the foundations of the country style. Their beauty comes precisely from their irregularities: they tell a story, even when they're not perfect. For a balanced look, you can mix and match finishes: an antique sideboard next to a more contemporary vase, a raw table paired with lighter seating. It's this subtle contrast between textures and eras that makes the whole look lively and modern.
Between tradition and modernity
Today's country style no longer seeks to recreate a rustic decor. It's making its mark in contemporary spaces while retaining its soul. The idea is to embrace the country spirit without copying everything: a welcoming, warm space, built to last.
A second-hand piece of furniture can thus find its place next to a designer lamp, a graphic rug can liven up an old parquet floor, or a gilded mirror can soften a rough wall. It's better to have a few beautiful statement pieces, a large table, an ornate mirror, a ceramic lamp, around which to build the atmosphere, rather than an overly emphatic total look.
Focus on natural shades
In terms of color, the palette is softening. We're swapping old-fashioned prints for sober, organic tones: linen, clay, ecru, sage, chestnut... These shades create a luminous and soothing base, ideal for bringing out the materials. To avoid an overly uniform ensemble, simply play on contrasts: a light wall warmed by a honey-colored wood table, brown ceramic placed on ecru linen, a striped cushion on a rattan armchair. Matte finishes maintain the impression of naturalness and serenity that makes the style so charming.
Living with what you love
More than a decorative trend, the country style reflects a way of living. We favor simplicity, objects that last, that we keep and that we like to see age. A country interior is often composed over time, with pieces that have a story. Hunting for finds, repairing, repurposing, passing on: so many gestures that give personality to the home. A marked table, a lamp found at a market, mismatched dishes… It's this small imperfection, this "real" thing, that makes a place unique.
Mixing finds and new pieces without trying to match everything creates a sincere and lively harmony, that of a house that breathes.
A house that breathes truth
Adopting the country style means choosing a vibrant interior, where nothing is static. Furniture develops a patina, objects move, and the light changes over the hours. It's this embraced imperfection that makes the style so beautiful.
At Debongout , we love the idea of a simple and sincere place, made to last and bring people together. A house that tells a story, yours.
