Your home should be a sanctuary, somewhere you can switch off from the stress of day-to-day life and relax. With all the tumult of modern living, it’s no surprise that home decor trends in 2022 are all about getting back to our roots.

Down-to-earth accents and natural materials at the forefront of Pinterest and Instagram, and we’re loving the farmhouse-style revival. Bedroom designs inspired by classic country homes might remind you of old-school frills and dated china. However, it’s surprisingly easy to give this trend a modern flair.

In this blog, we’re exploring how to bring all the peaceful beauty of the country lifestyle home with you - with tips, tricks and plenty of home decorating ideas.

What Is Country Bedroom Style?

This rustic-inspired trend takes notes from the master bedrooms of country estates, with an emphasis on all things natural. Country bedrooms have a distinct air of comfort that is still unmistakably chic - and bring a sense of luxury without sacrificing any cosiness.

While it’s slightly more polished than rugged rustic homes this interior design trend also uses organic materials like wood and stone to get a down-to-earth feel that inspires a warm and welcoming home.

Another plus of using original or reclaimed wood furniture is that they tend to stand the test of time, with sturdy construction built to last longer. Other materials you will often find in bedrooms inspired by the country living lifestyle are cotton and linen, which are perfect choices for bedding.

Bedroom furniture, in particular, borrows from nature to achieve an effect that feels familiar and homely. With soft rounded edges and simplistic decorations, everything about countryside bedrooms suggests comfort.

What Colour Scheme Should You Go For?

Choosing your colour scheme is one of the most important steps of decorating your home, and with bedrooms, carefully selecting your shades is even more important. The country colour palette is inspired by the hues you can spot from your window.

For an airier feel, lighter shades of blue and green are an ideal choice. Sage green in particular has seen a big jump in popularity and will keep your space looking modern. You can also incorporate bright floral motifs with patterned wallpaper, balanced out with fresh white walls.

Flowery pastel shades are another wonderful way to give your bedroom a fresh feel inspired by the great outdoors. If you want to create a darker look - deep blue is another fabulous option. You can also incorporate autumnal shades for a more seasonal feel, alongside bright bursts of colour to add vibrancy to neutral rooms.

Which Flooring Options Suit Farmhouse Bedrooms?

While you can still get a farmhouse feel with any flooring, the organic look of wooden floors is the best way to lay the foundation for a gorgeous bedroom. Naturally warming it adds to the cosy feel of the trend while also conserving heat, perfect for chilly autumn nights!

Better still, the versatile look is always on-trend, making it an excellent investment in your home for aesthetic and resale value purposes. While hardwood floors are the traditional choice, luxury vinyl tiles make for a much more cost-effective and durable option that gives all the looks of wood without the hassle of upkeep.

Easy to fit and simple to maintain, you can enjoy the look of natural hardwood floors without any of the fuss. LVT can be laid in a variety of styles, including the ever so elegant herringbone - a firm favourite in country bedrooms.

To add some texture and extra comfort to your home, make sure to include a plush rug that is both stylish and soft underfoot. A bright rug that matches your colour scheme ties the look of your bedroom together.

Incorporate Natural Materials With Wooden Bed Frames

Organic materials sourced from nature are an absolute must when decorating your country bedroom, and wooden furniture is the best way to do it. Similarly to hardwood flooring, wooden furniture is a timeless and hardwearing option.

If you’re prone to switching up your bedding or swapping out throw pillows, pale wood furniture is a twist on the classic oak brown. Paler shades not only add a little bit of chic to the shabby but also keep a light and airy touch that keeps your bedroom feeling open and less claustrophobic.

We absolutely love the Emily Bedroom Set, which puts its own modern spin on the country home look, with pale oak tying the look together. The herringbone floor makes an appearance here, and the soft edges and panelling really complete the countrified aspect of these gorgeous pieces. This set features heaps of cleverly hidden space.

The blanket box is ideal for keeping your cosy throws safe, and the storage bed keeps your things safe - particularly useful for country homes where storage is often scarce.

Take Tips From Country Hotels

The countryside is known for its great escapes in fabulous hotels, and bringing the luxury of a boutique hotel home is not as difficult as you might think. Your bedroom should be somewhere you can relax and unwind, and by taking inspiration from high-end retreats you can ensure you have the perfect space to do it in.

Add another section to your bedroom and create a multi-purpose space inspired by an upscale hotel. Placing a sofa at the foot of your bed or across the room instantly turns your bedroom into a suite, with a sense of sophistication.

While a sofa is excellent for adding some more comfort to your space, a vanity table is another wonderful way to upgrade your bedroom. This vanity from the Truro bedroom collection elevates your space, and gives you a place to relax.

Add Some Cosy Accessories Inspired By The Great Outdoors

Accessorising is by far the most enjoyable aspect of decorating your bedroom, and when it comes to farmhouse decor ideas - comfort is key. Plush cushions in your chosen colour palette can add both style and sumptuous comfortability, without taking much effort.

Fresh flowers don’t have to be for a special occasion, and with an elegant vase on your bedside table they can be displayed beautifully.
