Living with charm: the new country look

There's a noticeable trend towards wanting to get away from the stresses of everyday life. Often, there's not enough time for a short break in the countryside, and few of us have a secluded cottage on the edge of a forest. Why not simply let the country look take over your home?

Once dark and heavy, now light and charming: country chic. Natural materials such as wood, ceramics, rattan, linen and cotton are typical for this style. This relaxed style of living thrives on vintage pieces or those that look as if they've already been used. Often, there are also a few isolated shabby chic elements that add a touch of romance to heavy furniture. The best way to complete this look is to scatter small bouquets of wildflowers throughout the house.

When I’m not busy putting together home décor themes or planning marketing activities for Galaxus, I enjoy decorating my home with things I love and starting DIY projects I finish all too rarely. The inspiration I get comes from blogs, magazines and travels. My favourite home living styles: Nautical, Scandinavian and Nordic.
