Book Reviews of Modern Country

Book Review: Charming Country Style with Chic Appeal
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are dreaming of the country or want to redecorate your house...or even just find a few new decorating ideas, this book is filled with charming style and chic appeal. Classic and comforting designs warm the pictures as antiques add mystery and a sense of the past.

A granite washbowl is perched atop a antique wooden cabinet, modern lamps blend with wicker chairs, an indoor grass garden adds calm and outside tables find their way into the living room.

The antique, teal-painted cupboards even have sight wear and glass containers filled with breakfast cereals. The ideas in the kitchens are "on display." The teacups are not hidden and country fruit dinnerware highlights the country appeal. Baskets are found throughout whether they are wicker or metal.

The bedrooms have Victorian style with plump down comforters and upholstered chairs for reading. A laundry room doubling as a workout room - now that is something new. This book is filled with unique ideas like chalkboard paint on cupboards so you can leave notes. They even have chalkboard painted mugs.

~The Rebecca Review

Summary of Modern Country

Modern Country by Nancy Ingram blends the quiet, simple elegance of classic country with a clean, modernist edge to create an entirely new interior genre. When classic country is infused with modern interior design, it becomes bolder. It offers a contemporary attitude, a confident feel that mixes periods, patterns, and pedigrees but embraces the element of restraint. As noted photo stylist and author Nancy Ingram says, "Mix it up and pare it down!"

Modern Country interiors are fresh and lively, with color palettes that include the classics, but combined in new ways or intensities. Monochromatic themes-restful, quiet, calming hues-come into their own in Modern Country. There are no rules-only creative ideas and the courage to blend new with old, traditional with modern, to forge a look that is inviting, warm and even whimsical.

Decorating Ideas Include:

  • Modern country decor
  • Grouping items for display
  • Combining vintage and modern
  • Rustic french style
  • Mixing storage and design

Modern Country

Modern Country

Eight chapters cover interior design ideas for the living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, laundry room and office, plus a special section on display options and shopping inspirations. Modern Country shows that by blending the best of classic country with modern themes, the hallmarks of country remain-beauty, simplicity, and that nostalgic yearning for a romantic past that characterizes the classic country look.
