Take a tour around a new country cottage

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.

Curtains
Laura Ashley

Create a traditional country look by choosing oak wood units, slate-effect floor tiles and a Belfast sink. Finish off the look with checked curtains and vintage style accessories.

Floor tiles

B&Q

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.

Throw
Atlantic Blankets Co.

Create the perfect country bedroom using duck-egg blue on the walls, then complement with curtains in a slightly darker shade of blue. Cream accessories will keep the space looking light and bright. Finish the look with warm, light wood furniture and picture frames, and pile the bed high with pretty cushions.
