An exposed brick fireplace, log store and wooden beams lend this space a truly country feel. But it’s not all quite as rustic as you might expect. The upholstery and sofas have a very luxurious feel about them, and it’s definitely not the kind of country living room you would want dirty wellies tramping into.

Thinking of converting your loft to get an extra bedroom? If you have the space, consider creating a suite of rooms including a bedroom, en suite and living room. Alternatively, if you have a landing or hall at the top of a staircase, why not turn that into a comfy seating area, rather than using it as a thoroughfare?

This is a seating area at the end of the kitchen. Rather than a dining table, the space lends itself well to a lounge arrangement that’s all about the fireplace. It may not be the time of year for it, but in the winter, the wood burner really comes into its own. An oversized clock creates a further focal point.

The massive brick wall has a barnlike feel, even though the house is a new-build. As well as creating a rustic look, the brickwork contrasts wonderfully with the deep purple of the upholstery. Cream furniture acts as a highlighter, creating a perfectly balanced scheme.

Dark cladded grey walls create a Scandinavian feel that’s lightened with off-white sofas. Built in to the wall is a clever log store that is as decorative as it is practical. A wood-burning stove in the corner casts a warming glow over the space, which is especially lovely on cool spring evenings.

A room with ‘country house’ decor is the perfect home for a traditional leather sofa. Keep it classic with wool upholstered chairs, tartan and lots of natural wood for timeless chic. Masculine colours, patterns and accessories will stop this look from becoming twee. The branch-print paper adds subtle pattern without dominating the room.

Inject some colour into a neutral country living room with a large red patterned rug – it’s a classic look for a room of this style. The last thing you want to be concerned about in a country home is footprints on a cream carpet so a rug like this makes a practical choice, too.

Paint country living room walls in an off-white yellow shade to create a neutral scheme that suits the style and period of your home. This tone is warmer than white, but still versatile enough for all manner of colours to be included in the scheme. Here, interest has been added with the purple velvet armchair, patterned ottoman and plush mixture of cushions.
