Tuscany Furniture in a Farmhouse Living Room
Tuscany furniture pieces are elegant and classy and add a touch of sophistication to any room they adorn. Here are a few options if you want to buy this type of furniture for the living room of your farmhouse.
Traditional farmhouse furniture in a Tuscany home is in solid wood, typically stained dark with prominent swirling grains, unembellished with a great deal of carving or decoration for the most part. Albeit the birth place of the Italian Renaissance, Tuscany, known for its beautiful landscapes, rich artistic legacy and noble culture, the interiors of a Tuscan home are relatively simple affairs. Typical Tuscany furniture need not always be matching. There is nothing modular about a Tuscany interior, with the mismatching pieces lending a quaint charm.
Your Tuscany farmhouse living room might have a terracotta tiled floor in burnished red. For floor covering, consider a couple of woven rush mats – one placed under a wide trunk-style coffee table made of sturdy maple wood, to serve as a central carpet, and the other one beside a tall bar cabinet to stand against a wall. Strong solid timber is the hallmark of Tuscany furniture. The bar cabinet can be constructed of old oak wood, and ought to have a typically aged and ‘distressed’ feel about it. Invest in one where the top slides away sideways to reveal deep storage within, while the sliders offer a convenient surface for you to place glasses and wine bottles. Cabinet doors in varied lengths could comprise the front, below which you might create a series of pigeon holes in which bottles of the famed Chianti wines of the Tuscany area could recline. On either side of the bar cabinet position two tall ladder back bar chairs with woven rush seats and simple straight long legs connected by box stretchers to rest your feet upon.
In a corner of the room, place an attractive console table made out of the other material that typifies Tuscany furniture – wrought iron. The intricate scroll pattered wrought iron legs would traditionally be hand forged and have a black finish. Rest a Travertine top upon it, in natural stone. You could stand your TV on it, perhaps. Add a squat chest of drawers, also in aged oak wood, with simple brass knobs for handles to the drawers.
You can place a coffee table in the center of the room around which you can organize an assortment of seating in a variety of traditional Tuscany furniture. You can opt for two storage bench seats, each of which seat two quite comfortably and are distinctive in their own right. One might be an ornate piece with a hand carved back and seat apron with elaborate floral patterns adorning it and the other, in contrast, could be a rustic walnut wood piece with an uncomplicated banister back and straight legs ending in a spade foot. You can consider adding an upholstered sofa in muted beige to offer a little more sitting comfort.
You can opt for a white stucco ceiling crossed horizontally by thick, darkened birch beams with rustic, unleveled surfaces. Frame your windows in wood and don’t go in for ornate drapes or colorful wall hangings. The walls could be left quite bare except for a couple of simple etchings, perhaps, hanging side by side in plain black frames.
