17 country bedroom ideas - from cottages to stately homes
Decoration
From ancient cottages to graceful Georgian houses, the English country bedroom has an irresistible appeal. We've gone through the House & Garden archive to find our favourites
By Bonnie Robinson
An English country bedroom can come in many forms, from a low-ceilinged, beamed attic in an old cottage with uneven walls and floors, to a graceful room of grand proportions in a Regency villa. The age of the house might conjure up images of traditional decoration, full of patterned fabrics and antique furniture; or the eccentricities of the architecture might suggest that a cleaner, more pared-back approach will work. There are plenty of looks for country bedrooms that we love: patterned wallpaper, brass bedsteads and quilts are wonderful for creating a sense of warmth, while traditional four-poster beds with stately hangings are irresistible in the right setting. Equally, a white-washed wall and modern wooden furniture can seem just right in ancient rooms where the quirks of the surroundings need to be balanced by a simple aesthetic. Whatever you're going for, our favourite country bedroom ideas are sure to provide you with inspiration.
Simon Brown
Native ShareOld beams and wallpaper – in this case ‘Indienne’ from Lewis & Wood – make for an inviting combination in the bedroom of this Herefordshire farmhouse. The colour palette is soft, with muted patterns and a classic brass bedstead contributing to the sense of warmth.
Paul Massey
Native ShareThis perfectly traditional country bedroom belongs to interior designer Carlos Garcia's Norfolk manor house. The four-poster was built around a pair of Gillows posts and has curtains in Robert Kime’s ‘Tree Peony’ linen. The sofa is covered in Volga Linen’s ‘Tuva’ in celadon, with cushions in ‘Lynxia’ silk by Robert Kime.
James McDonald
Native ShareModern and traditional meet in Tobias Vernon's Somerset cottage, where antique furniture sits next to contemporary pieces (as well as a wonderful art collection) against a clean, simple backdrop of white walls. An Ian McKeever etching and a Svenskt Tenn brass candle sconce hang above Tobias’s childhood Habitat bed, now painted Farrow & Ball’s ‘Emerald Green’. The hand-woven linen throw is by Catarina Riccabona; the oil paintings are by Emma Alcock.
Paul Massey
Native ShareThe interior designer Caroline Holdaway had already decorated two houses for Robin Muir and Paul Lyon Maris when they enlisted her help on their new Cotswolds home. In this small guest room, a bedcover and curtains in Christopher Maya’s ‘Ostrich’ linen in charleston from Holland & Sherry pick up on walls in ‘Moss’ by Paint & Paper Library. The antique ceramic finial on the window ledge is from Brownrigg.
Ben Pentreath
Native ShareMarrying old and new is a difficult task in a grand country house, but Ben Pentreath has managed it with considerable flair in this Regency villa in Hampshire. Traditional toile de Jouy gets a bold reinvention in this bedroom, where Manuel Canovas’ ‘Bellegarde’ toile de Jouy in rouge, from Colefax and Fowler, was used throughout. Farrow & Ball’s ‘Pink Ground’ on the ceiling contrasts with woodwork painted in its ‘Blue Gray’. The ceramic ‘Charlotte Candlestick’ table lamp is from Hector Finch.
Michael Sinclair
Native ShareAttics always make for charming guest rooms, especially since their architectural quirks only have to be tolerated for a short time! Textile designer Natasha James has created a magical space in her country house in Yorkshire, combining Cole & Son's ‘Sweet Pea’ wallpaper with two of her own Tasha Textiles prints – ‘Honfleur Reverse’ on the armchair and eiderdowns in ‘Jaipur’. The kilim rug came from Natalia Violet Antiques.
Paul Massey
Native ShareIn one of the cottages on Prince Charles' Cornish estate, the decoration is clean, simple and unfussy. White walls warmed up by colourful textiles will always be one of our favourite looks for a cottage. The quilt is from The Romantic Englishwoman in Lostwithiel.
Simon Brown
Native ShareWith a large family and frequent guests, the owner of this house in Hampshire tasked Henriette von Stockhausen with creating elegant and versatile interiors that help to tie together the original Georgian rooms and a recent extension. In the main bedroom, Henriette has designed an extra-wide four-poster bed that is extra tall, too, to keep it in proportion. The owner’s preference for calm colours prevails here, with a Ziegler Sultanabad carpet, a sofa with a back lowered to the height of the bed behind it and the leafy arabesques of a pair of antique mirrors, against Lewis & Wood’s ‘Indienne’ wallpaper.

Native ShareLoft conversions in cities and towns are often small spaces ideal for children or guests. The top of a barn conversion, on the other hand, can be a fabulously spacious main bedroom removed from the hubbub of daily life. Light colours and scrubbed or limewashed beams keep them bright. The main bedroom of Jo Vestey's Oxfordshire farmhouse has Jo's photographs ondisplay and a Japanese light on the desk. The dark beams, floors and desk contrasts nicely with the white rug and walls, giving an overall look that is both clean and rustic.
Elsa Young
Native ShareJeanetta Rowan-Hamilton of Nettles Cashmere restored her tin-roofed fishing lodge in Scotland after inheriting it from her parents. She abhors waste and loves change of usage, and is often seen in the salvage section of her local antiques shop. In one of the four bedrooms, Jeanetta has repainted this pair of Victorian beds that were her grandmother's. The neutral tongue and groove walls and ceiling brings the feel of old and new together.
Davide Lovatti
Native ShareA bedroom on the first floor of Tom Helme's Carskiey Estate has a soft, pastel palette, with window and bed curtains in a matching 'N-098' wicker linen from Fermoie. Pink and green is a classic colour combination, and it doesn't come much more traditional than that perfect four-poster bed.
Simon Upton
Native ShareOne of the guest bedroom at Bowood House in Wiltshire has walls covered in Colefax & Fowler's 'Bowood' design - a pattern named after this house with interiors by John Fowler. The same pattern features on the bed valance, headboard, curtains and chair upholstery.

Native ShareDesigner Guy Goodfellow has made the window a feature in this manor-house bedroom in Devon. Its casement is painted in Rose of Jericho's 'Mountain Green', framed by thick linen curtains and with a smart seat underneath. The ceiling is painted with floral motifs, giving the appearance of pargeting. To replicate these murals, try the painter Dawn Reader.
James Fennell
Native ShareSeveral shades of blue are combined to great effect in this bedroom at Badminton House in Gloucestershire. The bed hangings are in 'Hops' by Colefax and Fowler. For a similar soft-blue paint to that on the walls of this room, try 'Sky Blue' from Papers and Paints.
Simon Brown
Native ShareIn the spare bedroom of Caroline Holdaway's cottage, an olive-stripe flatweave rug from Sinclair Till contrasts with a vibrant tartan rug from Toast used as a bedspread and cushions made from fabric pieces left over from projects.

Alexandra Tolstoy's Oxfordshire cottage is a charming mix of old and new. Emma Burns of Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler worked with the existing features of each room to breathe new life into them. The bedroom's orange velvet curtains (out of shot) were an original fixture, though Emma had them remade and hung from an antique pole to match the quilt (which she sourced from Colefax and Fowler Antiques). The wallpaper is 'Alice' by George Spencer, while Oka is a good match for the embroidered cushion covers.

You don’t have to live on a farm to decorate in farmhouse style; you don’t even have to live in a rural area. You just need to embrace the casual feel and nod to the tradition and underlying heart-of-the-country vibe that typifies this welcoming, warm, and easy decorating style. This bedroom demonstrates the emphasis on light and spaciousness that typifies traditional farmhouse style.

Old and New Mix
Decorating Decor and MoreModern farmhouse style celebrates the traditional even while embracing the contemporary. Using found objects, antiques, or old-timey memorabilia as decor is a popular way to decorate a farmhouse bedroom. Here, three vintage straw hats add charm above the headboard. All other items, though, are new reproductions of classic items.

Fireplace in the Bedroom
My ParadissiIf you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace in your bedroom, like the serene farmhouse bedroom from the wonderful decorating blog My Paradissi shown here, you’re already halfway to country farmhouse style. If you don’t, but wish you did, consider installing one of the many faux fireplaces now available, which look real but require no chimney or wood, and which produce no flames or ashes.

Shiplap Walls
House of TurquoiseShiplap walls are a hallmark of farmhouse style. Often white, but sometimes colored in soft hues, like the pale grayish-green shown here, these wood-clad walls add a warm touch that almost feels nostalgic. If you are unable to panel your walls with real wood, check out a "so real-looking you'll have to get up close to tell the difference" shiplap-design wallpaper.

Repurposing Found Objects
Thistlewood FarmsRepurposing, recycling, and “making do” are ways of life on the farm, and that outlook extends to the décor. While old shutters are a great substitute for a traditional headboard, you can take the idea even further, as decorating blog Thistlewood Farms did here. An entire wall of old shutters is an unexpected—and entirely wonderful—way to add whimsy and eye-catching style to a farmhouse bedroom.

DIY Headboard
Buckets of BurlapRustic wood and repurposed items are commonly found in the farmhouse style. For example, why settle for a traditional headboard when you could have a roughhewn and entirely wonderful DIY headboard made from old boards? And who needs a regular footboard when a vintage metal washtub makes such a unique substitute? Farmhouse blog Buckets and Burlap show off both ideas in this cozy charmer of a primary bedroom.
About This Term: Primary Bedroom
Many real estate associations as well as the Real Estate Standards Organization have classified the term "Master Bedroom" as potentially discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.

Classic Quilts
Comfy DwellingQuilts and the farmhouse decorating theme go together like peanut butter and jelly. While you might be able to find a vintage quilt online, at an antique mall, or in a specialty shop, feel free to purchase a new quilt that merely appears to be old. Layering a quilt over a bedspread, as in the room shown here, is another hallmark of the farmhouse style.

The unfinished and painted ceiling with exposed rafters is essential to the rural feeling of this room.

Yellow and White Color Scheme
Comfy DwellingButtery yellow is a classic farmhouse hue. Cheery as sunshine, warm and welcoming as a country hug at the end of the day, versatile enough to work with just about any other color, yellow walls set off the overall soft color scheme so prevalent in this casual decorating style. Yellows and white together create the clean, bright look essential to farmhouse style.

Sliding Barn Doors
Carolyne Ferguson DesignIt's not a farm without a barn, and it's not a barn without a sliding barn door. The look has caught on in the interior decorating world over the past few years, and why not? With no need for room to swing, a sliding door takes up less foot space in the room, making it a great solution for tiny bedrooms. The worn turquoise barn door here is in a bedroom from Carolyn Ferguson Design.

100+ country style bedroom ideas: interior and design photos
A distinctive feature of the country style bedroom design is a harmonious combination of rustic cozy interior in urban apartments. Tired of the fast pace of life and the bustle of the city? Do you want to fully enjoy the cozy home atmosphere? Then decorate your own bedroom in a unique country style by looking at a collection of the best ideas in the photo!
Country style bedroom interior - photo
Country style first appeared in England and then spread to European countries and Russia. The main principle of this design direction is to avoid modern materials, which are not associated with such concepts as "naturalness", "naturalness" and "rural atmosphere". Despite the fact that the country style combines several directions (English, Provence, Russian, etc.), they have common features. The interior of a country-style bedroom should be simple, cozy and light if the following features prevail in it:
- Clear geometry and simple shapes.
- Muted and calm shades.
- Home comfort in every element.
- Unfinished wall surfaces in some places.
- Natural materials.
- Solid wood furniture.
- The minimum number of equipment or its complete absence.
- Floral prints.
- Small accessories.
Country style bedroom furniture
Although many apartment and country house owners today try to use natural materials for interior design, this is not always possible. Solid wood furniture is quite expensive, so MDF headsets are popular. Advanced technologies have made it possible to process chipboards with high quality.
As a result, LSDP furniture practically does not differ from wooden furniture in appearance. With the right combination of all interior items, even inexpensive materials will look aesthetically attractive.
Avoid glass and chrome surfaces where possible. Combine different interior styles, because the main goal is to fill the room with comfort, and not strictly follow the rules.
Country style in different regions has its own features, as it is formed under the influence of local traditions and climatic conditions.
How to furnish the interior of a bedroom in country style
When decorating the interior, you will have to pay special attention to the decoration of walls, ceiling and floor. If you decide to use wall paint, then it must be matte. It is acceptable to use several shades to highlight one or two zones in the room, but most often the finish is made in one color.
The effect of whitewashed walls can be achieved with decorative plaster. Adjust the graininess of the mixture, then it will turn out to make the walls rougher in some places.
The easiest way to decorate walls is to stick paper wallpapers. Choose not only plain wallpaper, but also in flowers, polka dots or stripes to emphasize the simplicity and unobtrusiveness of the interior.
If desired, brickwork can be imitated on one of the walls, and wooden beams can be fixed on the ceiling. It all depends on your design idea, because you can make an interior with rustic motifs not only thanks to the decoration of walls or furniture, but also textiles. Even the most austere atmosphere can be diluted with the help of properly selected curtains, bedspreads and decorative pillows made using the patchwork technique.
An important role in the arrangement of the interior is played by lighting, which must fully correspond to the purpose of the room. The bedroom may have subdued lighting, so use lamps with fabric shades. Sconces and floor lamps will look beautiful in such an interior.
Accessorize with cute vintage pieces that will accentuate the design and create a cozy atmosphere in your bedroom. Porcelain figurines, wicker baskets and boxes, paintings with natural landscapes are ideal. If you know how to do something with your own hands, be sure to decorate the interior with Hand Made crafts.
Design of a small bedroom in country style - photo
The bedroom is a rest room, so it always has a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Although country design is simple, the furniture in the room should be massive and comfortable. An important place is occupied in the bedroom by the bed, which will decorate the interior and help to equip the seating area. Choose a bed with small legs, with a low headboard and footboard. You can buy a metal bed, but it must be painted so that the shine of the metal does not disturb the harmony.
The best option would be to purchase a ready-made set of bedroom furniture.
Although sliding wardrobes are very popular today, you will have to forget about them. Give preference to cabinets with hinged doors without forged parts, but with carved decor on the facades.
Bedside tables help maintain the overall style of the country interior, the facades of which can be varnished, painted or imitate the aging of wood. The rustic features of the interior will be emphasized by an old chest or a large chest of drawers. If you decide to use old furniture, restore it so that it fits in with the overall interior and other pieces of furniture.
Book lovers in the interior of the bedroom in country style can buy a rocking chair.
Do not be afraid to abandon stereotypes, because the bedroom should emphasize your individuality. Combine different styles and achieve harmony in the interior. You have learned how to apply country style in the bedroom, now fill your relaxation room with conciseness, naturalness and versatility.

Country style has English roots, and does not at all mean the design of the dwelling in a frankly rustic way, because in translation this word means “country” and “village”.
Country is a style that carries the traditions of home life, adopted in this country.
It is well suited for decorating a bedroom - a country-style bedroom will become a place of relaxation not only for the body, but also for the soul.

Rural comfort in the heart of a hectic metropolis
Country-style bedroom design in a noisy city is a great option to create a corner in the apartment, finished with natural materials - raw wood, natural stone, natural fiber textiles.
On the presented photos of the country bedroom interiors, you can choose a design option to your liking.
Country bedroom interiors are so diverse and adapted by designers to modern conditions.
The choice of finishing materials in construction stores and the range of furniture shopping centers are so wide that everyone can easily arrange a bedroom in this style.
In the design of a country bedroom, you can apply your own needlework skills and craftsmanship, making decor elements and decorations from natural materials with your own hands.
Country Style Directions
This style has many branches, stemming from the national characteristics and traditions of the life of the area where it is used in interiors.
Country in English style - will make you feel like in an old house in a cute English village.
The main object of the interior is a massive bed made of natural wood, ethnic wicker armchairs, bedside stands, natural wooden plank floor or parquet, pastel-colored cotton curtains with floral prints on the windows.
Decorative items that are also practical items - woolen blankets in a cage or stripes, vases with dried flowers and many fresh flowers.
French-style country is the predominance of light colors, elegant forms of furniture. Provence creates an airy, weightless atmosphere in the bedroom.
The central piece of furniture here is the bed, it is better that it has wrought iron legs and a headboard. A feature of the French direction is lavender color.
From textiles - homespun bedspreads, curtains and cushion covers with floral prints, carved furniture.
Country in Russian style - deliberately original. Such an interior is characterized by furniture made of untreated natural wood or artificially aged, rough plaster walls and ceilings.
Curtains and bedding made of coarse linen and burlap are appropriate here. Sheepskin capes and bedside rugs will look organic.
Scandinavian country style is simplicity and a lot of light. The main color of the walls is white. Furniture should be light or unpainted from light wood species.
Windows should be designed as simply as possible. The light range is diluted with traditional accents in this direction in the form of decor elements in blue, cherry and blue.

First of all, the country implies environmental cleanliness, as it embodies proximity to rural life.
Various photos of country-style bedrooms show that in any of the branches of this style, the room is dominated by natural wood in decoration and furniture, and natural textiles.
Country does not have a specific color scheme, it is at the same time a mixture of several light colors and the absence of uniformity.
In the decoration of walls, ceiling and floor, the emphasis is on natural materials such as wood and stone. The walls can be finished with wooden panels or non-woven wallpaper with a pattern imitating textiles.
Roughly finished walls are good in such an interior - careless relief plaster, vinyl wallpaper with a convex texture, you can paint the walls with textural paints.
Ceilings should also be plastered roughly to blend in with the walls. Wooden beams on the ceiling are appropriate in the interior.
The floor is made of wood - plank, parquet or wood-effect laminate, or unglazed ceramic tiles.
Interior decorations - wooden and clay plates on the walls, homemade soft toys, an old chest, colorful patchwork rugs, woven napkins on the bedside table.
Country involves a lot of textiles, so it's good if even the backs of the chairs have soft upholstery.
A small country-style bedroom can be comfortable and match the rural spirit even in a small city apartment, if you use the appropriate warm colors in the decoration - beige, sand, terracotta, lavender tones, natural materials and textiles.
