Create a Country Style Home

Country homes feature natural, worn surfaces, such as refurbished timbers and aged brass, and overall create a timeless and relaxed vibe. Period homes were built to last a lifetime and therefore possess a sense of timeless charm that is both casual and cosy.

Cosy country homes can also feature French provincial style qualities through select use of colour schemes. Country will give a more rustic look than the elegant styling that is a French provincial vibe.

When you’re looking for country interior design inspiration or country home ideas, it’s always a good idea to look start with a beautiful claw foot bathtub and subway tiles.

If a traditional country style home isn’t for you, try a more modern country aesthetic. It combines modern colour schemes, shapes and materials with the rustic texture and warmth of wood, metal and stone.

How to create a country style home:

  • Work with your existing house features if possible – eg. exposing beams or retaining VJ walls – to make the look feel very authentic
  • Country colour schemes should include soft paint colours and and neutral tiles
  • In your bathroom, the bath should be the centrepiece – a claw foot tub is perfect
  • Choose ornate, traditional style tapware and keep it matching throughout your home (the Phoenix Cromford range is a perfect choice!)
  • Gold or brass features will add colour and interest, simply shop by colour to make sure all of your chosen fixtures match
  • Decorate simply with fresh flowers and woven baskets
  • Incorporate timber finishes throughout your home (including a solid timber bathroom vanity)

Traps to avoid:

  • Turning your house into grandma’s house – leave out the chintzy accessories and keep it light and fresh
  • Getting too heavy-handed with timber – a little is good, but panelling the walls and ceiling will make the room feel like a Swedish sauna
  • Distressed everything – distressed furniture has its place, but too much will take you to a more Antique & Vintage style

A sense of timelessness is created through these farm-style bathrooms and remains long-standing as new trends come and go. This effortless look is achieved through rustic furniture and old-fashioned tapware to create a lived-in feeling that transports you to the countryside no matter where you are.

Casual and cosy embodies this farmhouse style bathroom which displays the simple country life. View our country bathroom designs and achieve a rustic yet elegant luxury space with open shelves and timber finishings. Pale blues and greens complemint this style, reflecting the bright pastures and idyllic skyline of the European countryside. Bring this colour to life with a large country bathroom vanity and fresh flowers or greenery to finish the look.

Turner Hastings products will bring this look to life with their timeless and classic pieces that combine farmhouse bathroom ideas with a modern french provincial twist. Juxtaposing wood panels and large floor tiles creates a country home feeling while remaining modern and chic.  

To complete this look, include woven matts or decorative throws to achieve a homely style through these varied textures and materials. Pair this with white or pastel bathroom linen to keep the space feeling warm and bright.
