Primitive Country Decor

If you want to create a country feel to your home, Primitive Country Decor is becoming one of the most exciting methods of decorating.  Furnishing your home with that comfy feel is so simple and provides the occasion to do some antique shopping.  Another wonderful thing about Primitives, are the many items available that are not actually antiques, but still give your home that antique, country feel you may be looking for!

Primitive Decorating Ideas

Primitive decor is an old quilt that is flung over a rocking chair.  Picture it as a location of warm-heartedness and nurturing, of simple delight that your ancestors enjoyed.  An antique farmhouse kitchen is a wonderful place to begin if you feel a need for that country feel.  Decorate it with primitive wall decor, roosters, sunflowers, birdhouses or anything that warms your heart.

You can add the same sense of restfulness to your living room or den.  Your decor should present an image from a time of rural living.  Rustic furniture, primitive stars, wooden rockers and quilts all are great decor showing days gone by.  Primitive interior decorating can represent a sense of history and heritage.

Primitive Curtains

Windows are a vital part of any decor scheme. For a Primitive country look, bring out the primitive curtains.  Use 1950s mature tablecloths for cafe style curtains in the kitchen.  Remember that if you already have a number of designs in your wall coverings or upholstery, then it would be a good idea to tone down the windows and use a more solid fabric.  Window treatments are the ultimate finishing touch to a well designed room and should show the owner's personal style, yet be well mixed with the furnishings.

Decorating with Primitive Samplers

Samplers were first made starting in the 15th century.  As there was no way to print designs and patterns directly on fabric, if a needle worker saw a stitch or design they liked, they would sew it onto a small piece of fabric.  At the time, fabric was expensive, so samplers would often be filled with patterns and stitches.  The oldest surviving sample was stitched by Jane Bostocke.  The sampler has her name and the date 1598 stitched into it.  Samplers evolved over time and became more organized rather than just a jumble patterns that the embroiderer wanted to remember.

Around the 17th century, sewers began adding borders to samplers and the alphabet.  By the 18th century, samplers were made to show skill and knowledge of the form rather than to simply preserve the stitches.  The ability to stitch samplers became a social grace and women were taught to sew samplers from a young age.

Primitive samplers feature a variety of stitches, not just the cross stitch often associated with them.  The stitches may be slightly imperfect, adding to the rustic feel of the work.  They often feature religious thoughts and sentiments such as Bible verses or moral quotations.  Primitive samplers are commonly stitched on linen or other open weave fabrics.  Primitive sampler reproductions and primitive samplers by contemporary designers are available to purchase for home decoration.  Antique samplers are also available.

Primitive samplers can add a rustic, country feel to your home decor.  They are still made by hand and give your decor a unique feel that is so often lacking from mass produced prints and decorations.  Samplers vary in size and usually come pre-framed, ready to be hung on the wall or propped up on a table.  Primitive samplers can be personalized to your tastes and thoughts and stitched with a quotation or pattern that expresses who you are.  Reproduction primitive samplers can be combined with family heirlooms and antiques to give your home a personal, down-home, country feel.

Primitive Folk Art Paintings

A wide genre exists when it comes to searching for primitive folk art paintings, so much so that you may have to rely upon the individual’s definition on what these types of artwork  really are.  Some may just go for those paintings or prints that are becoming popular in the market.  Theirs is the style of the struggling artist known as naive art.

Or you could go for the vintage-looking art renditions that are becoming increasingly popular as home wall decors.  These primitive folk art paintings come as devoutly patriotic, unadulterated Americana, with some touches of the culture from Canada also sometimes surging in.  The subjects of these paintings may include various renditions of the American flag.

Still in other folk art versions, familiar signage forms found along streets, shops, country fairs and rodeos invite their viewers to relive some near-forgotten childhood memories.  Even the farmer's home-made posters proclaiming some farm produce on sale or a room space available have not escaped the brush renderings of some disciples of primitive folk art paintings.  The recollections that go into these works of art extend to landscapes that harbor a traditional cottage or a desolate-looking country school house somehow made warmer by garden flowers or by playful characters either in human or animal characterization.

To complete that desired look for primitive folk art paintings, faded colors are often the choice.  The wooden frames of these art works are new but made to appear as if they have seen some better days kept in an attic or inside a barn.  The aged look is manifested by washing the frames with some light wood stain, and it is ready for the art market that now conveniently extends to online art galleries where you can easily search for some perfect representations of the primitive folk art paintings.

Primitive Rugs for Your Homes Decor

Rugs are one of the most common elements that can be found in a home with a primitive decorating style. Rugs are quite functional and the handmade ones are pretty much effective in adding some texture to the simplistic ambience a primitive-styled house has.

There are many different kinds of rugs that can be incorporated as part of the design. There are doormats or welcome mats that can be designed for either indoor or outdoor use. Most of the elements in a primitive decorating style come cheap. Even the furniture would cost a lot less compared to other decorating styles. Rugs are quite versatile and homeowners would appreciate that they do not need to spend a lot for fairly good ones.

Primitive Kitchen Decor

Everyone knows that the kitchen is the spirit of your home where family and friends gather to share love, laughter and especially food.  In old farmhouses, primitive kitchen décor consisted of an old wood cook stove with a large, rustic table surrounded by handmade chairs or benches to accommodate everyone.

Of course, don’t forget grandma’s pie safe that held not only her homemade goodies but perhaps the potato or flour bin.  To finish off the rustic, primitive appearance, include handcrafted place mats or cloth napkins made of muslin and a selection of miss-matched dinnerware that you’ve collected from flea markets, antique shops or yard sales.  This is a recipe for an inviting, primitive kitchen.
