Warm tones, natural materials and vintage pieces are core elements of countryside décor. Embrace the charm of rural living and embrace the home comforts this trend encourages, as we see a shift away from modern minimalist style.


Wooden furniture pieces are the perfect focal point – even more so if you are lucky enough to have traditional elements in your home such as exposed brick and wood. Tap into these key features with unpainted wooden furniture to showcase the natural textures, such as an oak bed with a linen upholstered headboard. The Love Story Natural Linen Upholstered Bed is as loved by our customers as it is by our team. Pair with complementary pieces such as chests of drawers and bedside tables to further maximise charm.


Hone in on the perfectly imperfect elements of countryside living by incorporating fabric with raw hems, like the Ozurie Woven Cushion, before adding nature inspired artwork and decorative pieces. The pairing of the Proud Plumage and Feathered Finesse Wall Art by Johan Teyler is the epitome of country chic. We love layering different materials and patterns, such as florals, gingham and stripes, to add a delicate and feminine feel. Combine this with floral arrangements – fresh or dried – to perfect the aesthetic. 


Finally, choose the correct lighting. It wouldn’t be countrycore without warm wall lights or table lamps with rustic wooden bases. The lighting used shouldn’t feel stark or clinical, but should instead feel cosy and inviting. 


Having grown up amongst the beauty of the Cotswolds, countryside interiors have a special place in my heart. I adore the combinations of tones, patterns and materials used in these charming homes and the countrycore trend is encouraging those of us in towns and cities to draw on more rustic styles.” - Georgia Metcalfe, Founder and Creative Director
