  • Set the tone with rich, earthy colors.
  • Use apple green, tangerine and sunflower yellow as a surprise accent.
  • For a look of simple sophistication, mix flea market finds with modern
    furnishings.
  • Leather, skins and striped or plaid fabrics are great choices for country interiors.
  • Mosaics, terrazzo and frameless glass give country bathrooms a modern
    edge.
  • Add a personal touch with unique accessories arranged in groups.
