Rural Chic: Turn Your Home Into A Countryside Haven
Here in Kingsbridge, we're certainly spoilt when it comes to stunning scenery. Last week, we focused on interiors inspired by the seaside, but this week? We're looking at the rolling fields, the cosiness of the woodlands and gorgeous cottages near us, and how you can bring that vibe into your space. Rooted in rustic warmth inspired by nature, this trend is all about celebrating comfort, character, and craftsmanship, so, keep reading if you fancy bringing countryside chic into your home - even if you're in the heart of the city!
Showcasing Country Charm
Our Wooden Shelving Unit would be right at home in a cosy little farmhouse. Made of stunning solid wood with its light distressed finish, it brings that homely feel without looking untidy. Countryside decor is, after all, all about character rather than totally perfect conventionality. And the open display style with its intricate carvings? Stunning! Style tip: charming ornaments and smaller decorative items are the perfect accessories to this unit, such as our Sage Glass Candle Holder.
Picture Perfect!
Speaking of ideal accessories for the shelving unit, why not try a photo frame? If you're trying to harness the beauty of Rural Chic in your home, nothing screams countryside more than a hint of the wild. But, you don't have to be obvious with animal motifs, and our stunning new Green Stag Photo Frame is a striking example of that. Its deep green instantly evokes the feel of rolling fields and wild meadows, the very heart of rural living, whilst the bold metal stag detail adds another level of rustic sophistication.
Dreaming Of Country Comfort?
Sleep has never looked so stylish when it comes to the cosy cottage vibe you can achieve with our Fern Willow Bed Linen. Made from 100% cotton to ensure maximum softness, this stunning bed linen set offers both comfort and an elegant nod to nature. Whether you're waking up on a sunny morning or simply lazing on a rainy day, this weaving willow pattern is sure to inspire the calm of the country into your home. Top style tip: pair with wooden accent pieces like the image below to really bring that rural charm!
Shining A Light On Rural Chic
Usually when we think of quaint homes nestled in the heart of the country, we don't immediately think of metallic detailing. Yet, with our iconic Concrete Table Lamp, you can incorporate the warmth of gold without it being too overpowering. The natural ceramic base is reminiscent of cosy stone walls, and the striking gold band adds a refreshing pop of brightness to your Rural Chic space, whilst also bringing a contemporary twist to a typically classic decor style. Style tip: style atop a rustic wooden unit like our French Hardwood Side Table to balance the modern industrial edge of the lamp with traditional country style!
The Ultimate Rustic Layer For Your Home
Nothing says countryside cosiness quite like a snuggly blanket; they instantly conjure up images of calm cottages with an element of natural elegance, and they're even better when they come in a gorgeous colour, like our Luxury Brown Throw. Bringing an element of luxury with its realistic faux fur, and a rustic edge with its texture, this is a perfect home accessory for both comfort and Rural Chic style! Style tip: This throw is ideal for pairing with similar textures, try it with one of our Cowhides to achieve that super rustic style in the image below!
Whether you're lucky enough to live in the countryside like we are, or just dreaming of the trees in a city flat, this week's blog post shows that with just a few touches, it's easier than ever to bring that rustic, rural charm into your home! It's all about incorporating natural materials and textures and neutral colour palettes, and if you stick to those, you'll have a cosy countryside inspired space in no time.
