Modern country cream and green - Ideal Home, Britain's best-selling homes magazine

Modern country cream and green living room

Floral's and country needn't mean chintzy.

For modern country look that'll run and run team a cream sofa and warm oak furniture and set against a neutral oatmeal backdrop. Add a sprinkling of green and pink floral fabrics to keep the room fresh.

How to get the look

Mix & match designs. Cushions in subtle floral patterns combined with modern striped fabrics in similar shades will keep the look fresh and modern.

Invest in quality wood. Well-made oak furniture is a real classic that's worth investing in – look out for contemporary designs made using traditional techniques because they'll last – and be loved – for years.

Make the most of the light. A bright, fresh look is timeless, so increase the amount of light in the room with a large mirror hung over a sideboard and add a huge jug of flowers alongside retro accessories for an eye-catching display.
