1 Country charm
Candy-coloured hues, delicate buds and bounds of chocolate-box charisma make for a modern day take on the idyllic country cottage
Trade traditional vases for galvanised metal containers to add a rustic shimmer
Lusting after this look in your own home? Begin by picking a floral wallpaper that’s busy, but not totally overbearing. Aim for something gentle, chintzy and soothing – blues and greens are perfect.
Chunky linen cushions keep the scheme light and bright, yet completely cosy
Furnish the room with a paredback couch, bundles of comforting accessories, such as cushions and candles, and finish with statement artwork. Don’t be afraid to dabble in a little pattern clashing – more often than not, it’ll completely lift the scheme and add an extra dimension. Laura Ashley should be your first stop to stock up on country-infused homewares, and make the most of boot sale and charity shop gems. Can’t commit to the whole look? Hardback books, tea cups and flowers are a small but significant nod to the theme.
