Hello, everyone! It’s Mari from Arcadian Home blog, a wonderful place to find beautiful home decor inspirations. I’m so excited to be with you here at Lilacs & Longhorns today. What a great blog name! For me, the words Lilacs & Longhorns evoke the very essence of country style and its many looks—traditional country, modern farmhouse, French country cottage, Texas chic and much more. Here’s a glimpse into the world of this appealing style. Please enjoy!

Here we have a very traditional country look brought into the 21st century. Dating back to the 1850s, this charming farmhouse gets an updated look with canvas slipcovers, glass lamps and grain sack textiles.

This French country kitchen seems to belong in the heart of France but is actually in the California home of designer Brooke Giannetti and her husband Steve. Even the wall art speaks French.

Country or farmhouse spaces with unexpected eclectic elements are much sought after today. This charming dining room with farmhouse table, Tolix chairs and ornate crystal chandelier fits perfectly into that appealing and popular look. I love the pale pink and yellow table decor.

Texas chic is a very distinctive country style with lots of wood, leather and cowboy elements. This corner workspace is typical of Southwestern look.

Country decor often makes its way to big city apartments these days. Here a simple design exudes country style, especially in the room’s focal point—a lovely pieced quilt.

Today’s modern country interiors seamlessly meld contemporary and country style. I love the sleek white fixtures and black-shaded pendant light.

A lovely example of modern country, this farmhouse bedroom is eclectic, and a bite eccentric, with Shaker, industrial and contemporary elements. It’s the best of many styles.

Learning about decorating styles and the history of interior design can be an interesting and inspiring study. We hope you have enjoyed this visual overview of country style and are inspired to explore it and other styles more fully.
