Americana country décor has been a preference of many Americans for a long time, but it is has gotten even more popular during the various conflicts that the United States has faced.
Since September 11, 2001, when we experienced the horrible terrorist attacks on American soil, it seems like tons of people have wanted to redecorate their homes to show their patriotism.
Americana décor items seem to bounce off the shelves here at the Country Store of Geneva.
Previously, they just seemed to sell around the Fourth of July, or to veterans who decorated their homes in an American theme, but now there is a lot of interest in the country-style decorations.
Shades of red, white and blue are used in most Americana decorations along with symbols such as stars and stripes, and words of inspiration like faith, hope or liberty.
The colors used in the country style are not as bright as the American flag. Burgundy, off-white and navy blue is common. It is also ordinary for the country décor to use black and beige.
For instance, our best selling Blazing Star quilt is commonly used in Americana country décor. It is perfectly complemented by the punched star shade light and a primitive star valance.
The Old Glory quilts that are burgundy, beige and blue are a perfect match for the Americana valance that features the stars and stripes of the American flag in burgundy, off-white and navy blue. The iron wreath holder, topped with a star, adds to the ambience.
Personally, I have always loved Americana country décor. It is welcoming as well as patriotic.
I honestly can’t imagine having bright red, white and blue in a bedroom, kitchen or living room. I think it would be shocking instead of comforting. In the bathroom might be okay, but the country-style version, known as Americana, is right up my alley.
