This cosy living room centres around a wood-burning stove and large fireplace. Choose a chunky oak mantel and use slate flagstones to form the hearth. Accessorise with natural materials and home spun accents, and then finish off with a splash of red to add colour.

The wooden hearts, which add a feminine touch, and the wrought iron bedstead give this simple bedroom a classic country feel. A blanket box at the end of the bed doubles as storage and extra table space, and the painted wooden chair finishes off the look.
