CREATING A COUNTRY CHIC LIVING STYLE THEME
Country Chic
At the heart of Country style lies the desire for comfort and relaxation. The colour palette is based around the Earth Tones and includes rich dark brown chocolates, caramels, taupes, beige, ivory honeys, ochres, burnt orange, rich creams, buttermilk and the famous duck-egg blue. Flooring is usually wooden planks, quarry tiles or limestone flagstones. The Natural Floor coverings such as the Seagrass or Coir from Crucial Trading fit perfectly. Decorative Wallpapers add a touch of glamour with the new collection from ROMO. Plantation-style Shutters also give a very sophisticated look to this theme. Window Shutters are smart and elegant and are available in any of the Farrow & Ball Paint Colours. They can be used with curtains or on their own.
Make a Statement - Country Style doesn’t have to be that cramped cottage feel. Take advantage of the scale by using large pieces of Furniture to create a spacious, comfortable living area.
Make an Entrance - Your Hallway is the first thing that visitors see. It should make quite a statement and set the tone of your style. A large Floor standing Mirror can create that impact.
The range of Furniture from Vincent Sheppard looks good whatever you do with it and wherever you put it. It’s an extremely adaptable range that works in many styles of Rooms and particularly suits this Theme.
Grey is good for the sophisticated Country Chic style. Mix shades from the palest near-white to soothing darker tones for a relaxing, understated room. Give life to a Room by adding a touch of bold colour and keeping the rest neutral. Stone is the new Neutral Tone for Country interiors. It allows you freedom to be creative. Calm Oyster Grey provides the perfect backdrop for more vibrant colours and patterns of the curtains and rug.
Country Chic Styling needs a soft touch and strict colour control. Comfort is essential and our Vincent Sheppard Sofas create a beautiful space perfect for entertaining. To complete the look, place identical objects, such as Mirrors and accessories, in pairs. Oriental objects can be mixed with sophisticated farmhouse furniture to create a surprisingly calm atmosphere.
Lighting - Lamps are much more than a simple shade and stand. The right lighting can really enhance the character of a Room and is essential when setting the mood.
At Home with Jayne Oliphant-Thompson, owner of Jotty's
One of my recent design projects was furnishing a Barn which had been sitting deserted for years. At the beginning I was concerned as to whether the space had as much potential as I originally thought. However, it was a delight to start from scratch, having a complete blank canvas and I had no problem filling it with JOTTY’S products that perfectly fitted the style of the place and also gave it a contemporary twist including installing Plantation-style Shutters.
Comfort & Style - Update your Home with statement pieces in luxurious pure sheepskin. At the end of a busy day, what better way to relax and unwind than by flopping into an Armchair snuggled up with one of our fabulous Sheepskin Throws (in Dark Chocolate or Cream). Cover an Armchair, a Sofa or simply wrap yourself in luxury.
Rugs - Rugs are one of the most important features when decorating a Room and are often the first items chosen when deciding which colours to use. Our ivory Sheepskin Rugs placed casually on wooden floors add another luxurious texture to the chic Country theme.
Chinese Trunks and Chests are perfect for hiding away unsightly items and double up as stylish coffee tables.
Table Chic - Leather adds another contrasting texture to a sophisticated Dining Room and our exquisite range of Leather Tableware, handcrafted Rosewood Leather in Dark Chocolate complements the theme creating beautiful Table settings.
Scented Earthenware Candles are a brilliant way of creating atmosphere and cosy lighting and they also make wonderful presents.
Cushions are essential for adding colour and texture to a Room. They help to change your look to suit the Seasons or if you just want a quick fix make-over. We have a beautiful range of Cushions and matching Throws, to create a new look on a Sofa or Armchair.
It’s amazing what a difference a new set of Curtains and a change of Cushions can make to a Room. Fabrics help to create themes. We have a beautiful collection of Fabrics available by the metre for you to use as you want.
