Modern Country: Reinterpreting A Classic Style

"When classic country meets modern country, it becomes bold. It assumes an edge. It's country with a fresh, contemporary attitude." -From the Introduction Modern Country 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 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 includes 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. Eight chapters cover every room and aspect of the home, from the living room to the home 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.
