It\u2019s important to us to have bedrooms that we can relax in. You\u2019ve got to get the balance right \u2013 too minimal and you can end up trying to sleep in a room that feels a bit stark and devoid of personality. If you\u2019ve stayed in a not so great hotel, you\u2019ll know what I mean when I say it\u2019s difficult to switch off when you haven\u2019t got that cocooning effect. It\u2019s not for everyone but if yours could do with an added dose of charm, maybe one of these country bedroom ideas\u00a0could work for you…<\/p>\n

You might be wondering how country and update could ever be used in the same sentence. Don\u2019t be scared into thinking that country means over the top florals and crochet bedding. As with any look, there are different degrees of country \u2013 from the Taylor Swift to the Dolly Parton of the decorating world.<\/p>\n

Country bedroom ideas<\/h2>\n

Wall decoration<\/h3>\n

Create calming walls by choosing wallpaper or paint in neutral tones. Green is said to be the perfect colour to re-create a relaxing vibe but it can look dated in a younger person\u2019s room \u2013 or you just might not like green! Any colour will work in light tones but duck egg blue is a fresher alternative and if you need to soften the look even more, swap any white paint for cream.<\/p>\n

\"Picture<\/p>\n

If plain walls aren\u2019t your cup of tea, add more decoration with floral or bird designs. There\u2019s no shortage of wallpaper prints but you could mix it up with stencilled designs too, to make it feel more modern. It\u2019s not strictly country with all the frills and prints reminiscent of wallpaper borders, but it\u2019s taking the best of country and giving it a fresh twist.<\/p>\n

Furniture<\/h3>\n

\"Picture<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always dreamed of living in a house with exposed beams. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have one already, you\u2019re half way there to pulling off the style. Finish up with a wooden bed and furniture in a light shade for a structured, masculine look. If your beams are darker or you\u2019re after a more modern finish, then the contemporary New England style of country would be a better choice. Swap the orange meets light brown for white furniture and if a white bed looks too bland in a largely white space, introduce colour with a brass bed. Imagine carrying on the theme of this dining room.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Lighting<\/h3>\n

Lighting\u2019s the easiest part as there isn\u2019t one golden rule. Some people prefer an understated pendant but chandeliers can work too, when they\u2019re teamed with bedside table lamps in different print patterns. It\u2019s the same with bringing in natural light. Blinds are ideal but if you don\u2019t want to get rid of your curtains, combine the two and layer up!<\/p>\n
