*How to get the eclectic country look*

Oh don't you think this room is so cosy & pretty, I certainly do.

This inspiration is from Ideal Home & this is what they say ...

How to get the look

Combine the essential ingredients - rustic wood, traditional prints and layers of texture - then add quirky finds to create a room that's warm, relaxed and full of character.
Keep the background elegant, not chintzy, with muted colours and pattern, then throw in a few pieces with personality to make the scheme unique.
Here is some inspiration from Vintage Amethyst which I think would look so sweet in this style of room ...
These willow hearts look so pretty propped up on shelves or dressers.
Lots of lovely frames in the room above & these frames would look lovely placed on a shelf.
These hanging hearts are a lovely way of adding a little bit of rustic wood to a room.
Another sweet photo frame to prop up on shelves.
These postcards look so pretty popped in frames.
Laurence Llewelyn Bowen did just that with these postcards on the 'This Morning' makeover which Vintage Amethyst was part of.
So what do you think of the eclectic country room look above?
Could you live with it?
I think I certainly could ...

  2. I do like your little hearts. I think when you go to naturals and neutrals it all comes together so well.

  5. O, I could, indeed, live in that beautiful room. I love whites, naturals and neutrals....but, alas, I have 2 honkin' brown leather sofas in my living room...these pretty much rule out all the whites and fancies...:(

  9. Alison do you think we will ever be tired of this style? I think not! not me anyway. Fashions come and go, I have tried a few over the years, but this look is me. I feel so at home with the lovely colours and eclectic corners.
