Create a classic country look

Go for a friendly, relaxed feel with wooden furniture, earthy colours and natural textures

The layout

  • Group four main pieces of furniture around the fireplace to create a cosy feel.

  • Use oak side tables to build up the use of wood in the room, which adds to the country style.

Accessories

  • Layer up the natural texture with wood and chunky knitted woollen pieces.

  • Add rattan and ceramics for a rustic, homespun feel.

Colours

  • Be bold with orange on the walls to give it a warm and inviting feel.

  • Add floral prints for a traditional country look.
