Our Country look aspires to be the perfect family home with plenty of authentic, natural materials, real wood, sisal and stone. Country inspired interior design features furniture which is pale and painted, with plenty of storage. Tables, beds and sofas are large and spacious, so they have a place for everyone in the family. We’ve pulled together some of our favourite Country looks to show how easy it is to achieve this style at home and inspire you to create your own take on it.
The Country colours
The colours of a Country interior are warm and homely with subtle hints of pastel and pattern. A colour palette of soft whites, greys and muted pastels is used to warm everything up, along with wood-burning stoves and cosy textured linens. For a modern twist and to give a new dimension to the look, you can add pops of deeper, brighter colours.
Chic not shabby
Calm and caring, this look has an element of reinvented shabby chic. It’s a pure classic, with pale colours, driftwoods and painted surfaces. Country is recycled but not junky, distressed but not too rough, well used but not worn out.
Living Room
A functional, laid back and cosy feel paves the way for soft sofas, cosy armchairs and plenty of cuddly cushions. Sofas are big and squishy, with space for the whole family, accessorised with lots of cosy cushions and plush soft rugs. Bringing shabby chic and refined design, our Fontwell sofa range is an absolute classic. Soft colours and textures give a feeling of cosiness and comfort. This is laid-back living at its best.
Dining Room
Whether you have a small kitchen space or large dining room, our Country look will fit right in. Choose pale-painted wood furniture for a classic country look. Our Raindale dining table is perfect for this and has many different pieces to choose from. You can use the occasional tables throughout your living space for a gorgeous cohesive look in your home.
Bedroom
Make your bedroom a homely haven with classically styled pale painted furniture, accessorised with pops of muted pastels, hints of florals and lots of texture. Our Ercol Bosco range has lots of storage options, so you’ll have plenty of space to store everything away and a bed big enough for family lie-ins.
Country Decoration
Keep your home tidy, calm and stress-free. Accessorise with crisp cotton, fresh flowers and hints of the seaside.
Create a cosy country interior by blending natural textures with modern touches. Style wicker furniture with leather accents, mix scented and block candles, and add hurricane lamps with hints of weathered rope for a rustic, beach-washed charm. Finish the look with soft, textured cushions in subtle patterns and colours to bring warmth and a welcoming, lived-in feel to your sofas and chairs.
Keep tableware simple and robust, with heavy ceramics and chunky wood. Keep flowers in vases around your home.
