Little House On The Prairie

Elegant and natural interior designs are a perfect choice for a wide variety of homes as they create a relaxed and cosy feel in any room of the home. The prairie inspired interior trend is perfect for creating a rustic, desert inspired look within your home that is welcoming and inviting and can be used to create texture and  pattern within your interior space. This looks brings together natural colour schemes and desert inspired accessories to create a designer look that is stylish and functional.

Opt for soft and natural inspired colour schemes that will create and reflect the warmth of a Desert or ranch inspired interior design. Cosy and rich cream, beige and sand colour tones make a great base in which to start your interior design. These can then be accentuated with other natural colour tones such as soft browns, clay and burnt orange hues that create a cosy and rich feel within your interior space. Cream and black monochrome style colour palettes will also work within this interior design, particularly across accessories and fabrics to create pops of pattern within the room. Where possible avoid bold or modern colour palettes and stick with traditional rustic inspired colour schemes. These can be teamed with traditional floral, gingham or tribal style wallpapers creating a focal point within the room.

For a cosy country inspired interior look opt for curtains, cushions, rugs and bedding in classic gingham or embroidered and knitted fabrics that will look great with in this Prairie inspired interior. You can include a crocheted or knitted throw on a simple cream bedspread or hang a set of gingham curtains on a plain painted wall. If you are a lover of pattern then why not opt for tribal inspired fabrics and materials that will embody a ranch interior design and work well across curtains, cushions, rugs and throws and can also be used to upholster a statement sofa or armchair to create a visual focal point within your room. Include some traditional desert landscape pictures and prints across your walls or why not display some stag or antler inspired accessories and lighting that will create a real impact within your interior space.

The neutral finish of this interior design means that it can work really well with a wide variety of furniture items. Classic oak furniture will look great against the natural colour schemes and will create a cosy and welcoming space in which to relax. Cream painted furniture will also look great in a prairie inspired interior design and helps to create a sense of openness and light in smaller rooms of the home. You could include some woven or rattan furniture items, vases and plant holders and include a selection of cacti and succulents that can be displayed along a sideboard, windowsill or dining table to bring a sense of the desert landscape inside your interior space.
