So you're looking for tips on creating a country style home... well you've come to the right place!
Country homes are full of comfort and charm. The interior spaces in which we live leave lasting impressions on our daily lives and our moods, so they should be beautiful, and still function well within the many aspects of modern life. Country interior design can be both rustic and up-to-date, while leaving a calming visual impression. By tailoring the design and layout with Manor Homes, you will feel content in each space and feel rejuvenated by the natural world that you have incorporated into your home. Here are some design tips to achieve a country feel in your modular home, from layout to furniture choices.
Get creative with the layout
When it comes to the layout we say: be imaginative! Check out this example of our work, and use the tips below to achieve an effortless country look. Take advantage of expansive verandahs that wrap around to the front of your home or create cosy outdoor havens. Enjoy large feature windows that create ample natural light for your living spaces all day long. By using open-plan living your home will be great for entertaining and have a spacious feel. Utilising raked ceilings will expand the space and draw the eye upwards. Opting for built-in bookshelves that add character and function to your dining room or study is great for book-lovers and better organisation. Prepare food and cook in your kitchen straight from the French-countryside.
Customise colours and fixtures
Manor Homes professional in-house Interior Designer is more than qualified to select an elegant country colour scheme and choose appropriate fixtures and finishes, or you can make all the choices yourself. Pale colours and neutrals make the rooms calming and bright. Select fixtures like lighting, cover plates and switches, and lamps that share the same style. The materials used like Uberflor Vinyl plank flooring are hard-wearing and look like genuine wood. Take advantage of many different ways to customise the colour scheme, from pale peach to more vibrant tones such as green and blue. Textiles and curtains for the rooms should complement the structure and materials by adding contrast or a monochromatic theme. Fixtures in the kitchen can be modern yet maintain a country feel with finishes that blend in well with the overall aesthetic.
Decorate with unique country furniture
Your furniture says a lot about you. By selecting pieces that are comfortable and beautiful, you will be way ahead of the game when it comes to decorating. Use hand-made or craftsman furniture to add a special touch to your space. Incorporate items from the natural world like a bed frame made from raw wood logs to bring the outside in. Purchase chairs and sofas that are nicely upholstered with luxurious fabric to make the space more comforting - nice textiles add texture and richness to the space. Consider using time period antiques that give your home an older feel. Utilise rustic items and add items that you love to display - dear photos, or artwork inherited from family - your walls will be full of charm in no time.
Creating that country charm that evokes feelings of happiness and tranquillity is a great way to make your home inviting and comfortable. With all the time we spend at home, our house should be modern yet still achieve a sense of traditional living within the design and style. Manor homes are the solution to country living with all the amenities you desire.
Think outside the box, and utilise our special upgrades such as: fully retractable doors, extended windows, or a customised kitchen layout. With Manor, your dream home is waiting to be built.
