Get the Look: Contemporary Country

This look is a contemporary upgrade to the classic country home décor style. By mixing clean, crisp white and neutral tones with rustic natural textures you can easily create a smart and sophisticated living space. This airy color scheme teamed with natural features, such as a stone feature wall, ceiling beams or other quirky architectural features, can give any room in your home a sophisticated and modern update.

Our design team have pulled together a list of their top tips to help you recreate this style in your home.

Living in a modern home and want to inject a bit of country charm? Bring the outdoors in with a simple, yet effective, tree stump end table. It not only looks great, but it also serves a useful purpose without cluttering your space.

A country inspired color palette is timeless, however, mixing neutral shades can be quite cooling, so be sure to tie in accessories in warmer hues and consider light reflecting metallics, such as the gold frames shown below.

Bring your traditional country living space up to date by using a mix of bold, bright colors and geometric prints against a blank, neutral background.

Soft furnishings are a great, cost effective way to inject personality into your interiors

Use light and airy fabrics to add depth to your room. Thin cotton, georgette or tulle will help to uphold the simple, serene feel of country living, whilst maintaining a professionally styled look.
