What better time to treat your house to a much needed makeover than during the summer months? With the warmer weather on your side, what else is there to do but bring a bit of sparkle to your home?
A huge trend for this season is everything country; the concept of ‘making your house a home’. Putting contemporary style to one side, going ‘country’ inspires thoughts of tradition, domesticity and absolute comfort; the quintessential family home.
Interested? Through checking out our home fashion catalogue, here’s how you can best create the country look.
Florals
One way to achieve that country feel is by incorporating florals into your home. Nothing suggests summer more than ditsy, dainty flowery patterns; a calming influence on a busy family home. Take this gorgeous Mia Pink Bedspread for instance. Loved for its soft pink delicate hues, this bedspread promises to be the perfect addition to any bedroom.
It exudes class and sophistication; a beautifully romantic piece that can brighten up any space. What’s more, it’s also great for those who prefer to keep decorating simple. Thanks to the incredible detailing on the bedspread, very little work would need to be done to transform your room; it sells itself.
Greens
In addition to florals, for us, country inspired décor also needs a touch of green. Coupling flowery patterns with a fresh burst of green further emphasises that feeling of summer, bringing a flavour of the outdoors, in.
Something as simple as this pretty Delonghi Icona Vintage Green Kettle would work wonderfully in the hub of the home. Italian inspired with a stunning matt finish, your kitchen will be nothing but stylish thanks to this appliance.
Shabby Chic
A much loved characteristic of the country trend is its use of shabby chic. Allowing interior design enthusiasts to break away from overtly modern styles and to embrace a subtler creativity, shabby chic is a great and easy way to inject personality into your décor.
This Corona Ottoman is a great example of this. It’s a piece of furniture that’s refreshing yet still maintains a distinctly vintage feel; its distressed waxed finish taking away the edge that typically new furnishings tend to have.
Personal Touch
And what would a traditional country home be without a personal touch? To finish the look, why not brighten the space with a family photo or two? This adorable Love Photo Frame would fit perfectly in your new country home.
