Country and western style is a crude decoration style evolved from the American western country life. It was inspired by American cowboy culture, Indian culture and country resort cabin. The most obvious characteristics of country and western style are crudeness. Thick and rough boards are often used to make wooden floor and ceiling, or as the bold wooden beams of house without any decoration. Sitting room is often decorated with antler droplight, now more with wooden or iron flower branch droplight. If you want to retain the original flavor, flowers droplight with wild animal and tree patterns is a great choice, which can also be appeared on the wall lamp, desk lamp and small droplight, adding indoor rural atmosphere.
The color of western country style originated its inspiration from nature, like the commonest forest dark green and tan. Wild, nostalgia and rustic are preferred colors, especially on the choice of metope color. The interior design also incorporates the change of darker colors such as tan, black, partially interspersed with red.
Floor is mostly made of compound floor in oak or tan color with some textures; ceiling is made of unrefined wood or bulky wood beam. The doors and windows models are simpler. The windows are mostly made of old white or the original wood color, making whole bedroom space warm and genuine. Dado is also commonly used in western country style decoration, which was set to different heights coordinated with the bedroom's actual environment. United States extended the UK country tradition. The fireplace is often the activity and visual center of the sitting room, but different from the British elegant style, American country fireplace material prefers coarse, natural stone or archaistic brick. Modern flat TV can be installed by the fireplace, plus a comfortable sectional sofa or a pair of thick lounger. Blanket with hides or crocodile patterns can be covered to make it wilder.
In the household of country and western, people usually use rough wood to make furniture like beds, tables, tea tables, bedside tables, sofa, and chairs. Sometimes to retain its original rough taste, they don't do polishing and lacquering. Some covered with leather or coarse cotton and linen to make it more comfortable. Some furniture or antiques handed down from grandparents are put in the prominent position. After years of hammering, the furniture is full of vitality and reminiscence, sometimes interspersed with cast-iron table and bed.
