Picking certain accessories will provide a particular vibe
Making your dream home a reality is hard work, we all know that. We've enlisted the help of Isme's home and furniture product director and resident home style expert, Gill Appleby to share her tips.
Gill has revealed how you can make your home look beautiful without sacrificing the cosiness and comfort we all love.
She explains:
There's nothing new about wanting to give your home a warm, rustic, country look, but the real secret is how to achieve this look while keeping everything looking fresh & new.
The theme of Country life is all about creating nostalgia, incorporating that subtle hint of the countryside into the home. I recommend for the most effective look extend the look of your living room into the bedroom, en-suite and kitchen.
For a really stunning country look living room, I recommend choosing furniture that is solid & sturdy. Selecting the perfect sofa is key in completing any rustic country style look; go for something cosy and comfortable, something that is in a light calm shade. With other furniture a lovely grained oak effect is perfect. Our Stratford range gives a warm yet rustic finish, providing homeowners with perfect storage solution, its soft-close hinges and easy-glide metal drawer runners add to the peace & tranquillity of your room.
Once you've established that true rustic feel, it's time to get creative, be bold and add a splash of colour. Our Glamour rug, Mongolian cushions, knitted throw and chrysanthemum canvas all in teal, are perfect and for that truly eye-catching statement go for artwork or an elegant Mirror, gold is best to complete that stylish country sophistication.
Last but by no means last, to ensure your country dreams are achieved, choosing the right kind of lighting is vital, it's important to keep the lighting dim, warm and cosy. To achieve this, use these gorgeous brass base Beatrice lamps, they will perfectly complement the warm country feel you have created.
