When I imagine a country house, I picture wood flooring, Belfast sinks, wood burners, ginghams, chickens and florals, as well as wellington boots, AGAs and the entire family having a chat in a beautiful country kitchen. I am a massive fan of the country and countryside interiors. Here are some of the best suggestions for designing the perfect interiors for your rural home.
Kitchen
The heart of a country family home lies in the kitchen. A wooden table in the center with gingham seats, fresh fruit as well as vegetables with baskets, as well as an attractive country-themed print that covers the windows. For homes with a smaller window, either a tiny blind made of a modern fabric or a simple, short curtain made of a simple floral pattern looks stunning. If you’re fortunate that you have French doors that open onto your patio or garden or patio, then floor-length curtains hanging on the wooden pole with a checkerboard pattern are a great design. Select the appropriate accent colors from your fabric of choice and put them on mugs that are large, as well as vintage-style vases and traditional tea towels.
Living Room
Plaid fabrics are great for creating a warm and cozy living space. Make use of them as upholstery on a striking sofa or chair, and then complement them by adding fun cushions. If your home has an open flame or a wood burner adding a wool throw and an organic wood coffee table is essential to create that authentic country look. For window treatments, a linen-striped curtain fabric is stunning when placed on a long pole. If stripes don’t appeal to you, go with the linen style; however, keep it simple. Country florals look gorgeous for curtains in the living room fabric.
Bathroom
The bathrooms in country bathrooms are usually feminine and romantic, with the perfect roman blind made from the form of a floral curtain and, sometimes, the matching wallpaper. If this isn’t the style for you, then you can reduce the design by using wood flooring, a roll-top bath or a ladder that has been painted and given a new purpose as the towel rack. Simple fabrics that have rustic textures or checked fabrics make an excellent choice for the roman blind. Decorate with accessories like matching towels and plants.
Bedroom
The bedrooms in homes with a country theme are prone to becoming outdated quite quickly, thanks to elegant floral valances and frilly window treatments. To create a modern-day bedroom that is appropriate for a rustic house, keep the bedding simple and plain and add color and intrigue by using the windows as the central feature. The idea of layering is great for bedrooms, so put blankets of floral cushions and country pillows over the mattress. A soft floral curtain will look stunning when you are looking to create a romantic bedroom. If that doesn’t work with your style, then a pastel printed fabric on roman blinds can be a great way to brighten the children’s room, and the soft striped fabric highlights your master room. In the event that you’ve got an ensuite located in the master bedroom, look to bring the colors through in some manner by using the accessories, wall painted with a feature or even a bathtub that’s been painted with an eggshell paint that is complementary.
