25 country style bedrooms with style ideas to steal

In the past, a country bedroom may have spelled out floral curtains, patchwork quilts, gingham upholstery and a colour scheme dominated by a whole lot of yellow and blue. Thankfully, in the past few years, this clichéd approach to country style has been dialled down in favour of a more textural, subtle alternative.

Styling a modern country bedroom is all about layering natural fabrics, such as linen, cotton and wool to create a relaxing, cocooning space. Sure, you can add floral motifs, but use them sparingly. Fresh foliage and cut flowers are always a welcome addition, as are throw rugs, pendant lights and softly draped curtains.

Here are 23 modern country bedrooms that will inspire you to create a bedroom you'll love to wake up to.

At Sinclairs of Berry, each bedroom features a formal yet relaxed style. Owner Caroline Sinclair upholstered many of the beds in the home herself. Here, the bedhead is covered in William Morris fabric. "My mum, Valerie, taught my sister and me how to sew at a young age," she says.

A cool colour palette flows throughout this modern farmhouse in Victoria's Macedon Ranges. In the bedroom, colour is introduced by way of the bedhead, which was custom-designed by Amy Spargo of Maine House Interiors. "I thought this fabric had beautiful country colours and I wanted to base the interior around that - I'm not a pink girl, and have four boys to think of!" says homeowner Clare.

A deep colour scheme may not be for everyone, but Kerry and Peter Johnson knew speckled concrete flooring and dark hues were right for their dream home just outside of Boorowa, NSW. Living on a 900-hectare farm means they needed a home that could handle the dust and mud that comes with country life. The pair designed and built the bed frame and Kerry even created the lamp herself. For similar bedding, try the Tumeric 100% flax linen duvet cover from Bed Threads.

"We are quite simple people who don't have anything all that luxurious, but we really enjoy having things around us with a story and meaning," says Harriet Birrell, who lives in a secluded 40-square-metre corrugated iron and weatherboard tiny house on Victoria's South Coast. Her bedroom has just enough space for a bed, but the open-plan design and large window prevent the space from feeling cramped. Hemp bed linen from Good Studios.

When building her dream family home in Gerringong on the NSW South Coast, Jackie Kennard wanted to create something that felt like "it had been there for 100 years." Her love of French-inspired interiors carries through to the bedroom, where a chandelier from Moss Nest hangs over a Domayne bed. The walls are painted in Nettle from Porter's Paints.

This bedroom in a converted steam train carriage is compact yet glamorous. Who says you need a large room to accommodate a chandelier? But this bedroom also serves as a reminder of this carriage's past life. During renovations, the owners pulled up a panel in the floor and discovered a linkage mechanism (the part that joins the carriages together). "We oiled it, covered it with safety glass. It's now a feature - you can walk over it in the master bedroom," says owner Fleur.

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

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.

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:

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. nine0003

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. nine0003

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. nine0003

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. nine0003

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. nine0003

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. nine0003

Bedroom in country style, 110 photos. Beautiful interiors and design

The most important question you need to keep in mind when designing a bedroom is: what style relaxes me the most? Of course, it is a matter of debate which style best fits this definition, but many people agree - you need to use country style, or, as it is also called, rustic style for the bedroom.

Bedroom in country style

Why is this style good? It is located at the junction of two completely different directions - on the one hand, we get a modern bedroom, and on the other, it contains a large number of elements that bring them closer to nature, and some, perhaps, are sent to pleasant childhood memories. Dreamy and nostalgic are the best epithets to describe rustic style. nine0003

You don't have to do what the designers recommend, you can always use parts from different interiors to create your own. You can use furniture, country-style accessories for the bedroom and not deviate from it a single step, or you can combine this style and many others with great pleasure.

Country bedroom interior

How to make this cherished interior? There is no clear answer here, because sometimes it is enough to add a couple of successful rustic elements and stop there. For the rest, perhaps the main advice is to use real wood in its natural color, covering only with varnish for preservation. It could be a bed frame or a shelving unit, it could be a couple of old-fashioned chairs or a coffee table - a great space for which key element to choose to model the design around it. nine0003

Rustic style bedroom

In a rustic style, you can use completely different materials, they will not repel each other. What's more, we recommend that you don't get hung up on filling your entire bedroom with natural wood - it can be too boring (and cheap). Alternatively, use light-colored wood, because it blends better with other modern materials, including glass and chrome.

Country style bedroom design

Country style bedroom design elements can serve as an excellent solution for visually dividing a room into how many zones. For example, put low wooden bookshelves, thereby separating the sleeping area from the desktop. In small rooms, where the bedroom is also a study, you can use higher cabinets - in this case, you get a real beautiful wall.

Country bedroom furniture

Many stores now allow you to buy country-style bedroom furniture without leaving your home. Of course, we can't recommend this method of buying without looking at the furniture first, and it's best to use interior design software to see exactly what kind of furniture you need.
