How to create a country-house bedroom

Floral country bedroom

Floral prints, traditional wallpaper with a modern twist, a variety of textures, colours and French-inspired accessories combine to create a gorgeous country-style guest bedroom.
Mix a floral print with painted panelling in your bedroom. Keep furniture pale and painted to balance the look, and introduce smart upholstery with a chic bed and footstool at the base.
Cosy up, and add texture, with an old-fashioned eiderdown or heavy quilt on your bed. Find similar duvets at House of Fraser, and wallpaper at Harlequin.

Layer with traditional linens

Dress your bed with lace-edged and ticking-striped pillowcases, topped with a touch of ever-elegant chintz.
The cushions are from Warwick Fabrics.

Add kitsch accessories

Go for classic patterns, with roses, Toile de Jouy and stripes. Mix no more than three to avoid creating a look that's more faded than fresh.
The cup is from OKA and the artificial rose from An Angel At My Table.

Opt for elegant coat hooks

Pay attention to the details with robe hooks and laundry bags - the smaller touches you'd expect to find in a country-house hotel.
The coat hook is from Dibor.

Go for slender candlesticks

Prop up a pair of slender candlesticks on the dresser to add to the sense of grandeur.
