Have you heard of this style?  I never heard of it till today. I like it. I think a bit   of color would do it for me. What really drew me to this picture was the color  scheme. I'm getting a new couch in a similar color (  a tad warmer).   I also have a chair in the same color as this one in the picture.   The other chair in my room is a medium denim blue leather chair with ottoman. It's a beautiful color of blue...not too bright or too dark. I'm trying to imagine this room with my blue chair in it and off white walls.  I'm waiting on my couch before I decide on drapery.

There's nothing country about that style.

Low Country refers to the low lying coastal parts of SC and Georgia from the coast to the fall line.

Great Low Country author:  Anne River Siddons.  Her stories are great.  Sad that she recently passed.

They haven't decorated the mantel.  I wonder if they'll put any color on it.

The houses I've seen in that 'Low Country' style, @jubilant , have a very similar vibe to the one you depict.  Usually a serene backdrop, lots of natural materials, muted color scheme, and above all, big windows letting in all that famously gorgeous light of the marshy Carolina and Georgia lowlands....  so pretty!

The color on my monitor is coming off as a sophisticated sort of taupey shade which always looks fresh paired with lots of spanking white trim.  I think it's a very versatile neutral for your couch, and will be beautiful with a denim blue leather chair.  Wow!   Blue is just the color to give it spark.

Beautiful room.  I agree it could use a little color, but lovely at any rate.

It's not a bad looking room, though yes, it could use some color to combat the bland. The light fixture looks sort of dorky but there are some nice elements. I don't see anything particularly low-country about it, though maybe the tables and excess mortar in the brick are supposed to suggest that vibe.

@jlkz  I loved her books and miss her writing.

@Oznell   I agree that it definitely needs blue.

I've never heard of it. But I will say, this is closer to country than most of what I see they call country today. 

The brick on the fireplace, the colors, the beams in the ceiling are bits of a more modern country than what I think a lot of people remember country decorating being from back in the 1980's and early 90's, when things were dark, lots of antique/primitive gadgets everywhere. 

Country decor has evolved so far that most of what I see today called country doesn't even resemble anything country, but I really like a lot of this room. Could do without the chandelier.
