Modern country house style: furnishing ideas for more cosiness

The desire for a cosy life in the country also occupies many city dwellers. Unfortunately, the dream of an old farmhouse with a large garden remains just a dream for many people. However, this does not mean that you have to do without a modern country house style in your home. With some new furniture, matching accessories and attention to detail, you can transform even a modern city flat into a home that is reminiscent of life in the country and creates a cosy atmosphere. The modern country look focuses on tradition. The furniture pieces are mainly made of materials that were handcrafted hundreds of years ago and could be found in old farmhouses. Instead of purist design, detailed accents are the order of the day. However, they are only used discreetly to create a calm image for the viewer. Above all, the natural colours of the materials and white are found in the country house style.

Typical materials and patterns for modern country house style

Country style furniture is handcrafted pieces where the material used is shown and not hidden under varnish or paint. A bench made of turned wood, a comfortable armchair made of rattan with a fur cover and classic farmhouse cabinets made of wood and glass are ideal for a country-style interior. For cupboards and chests of drawers, fittings with detailed ornamentation are often used. They can be made of brass, for example.

The vintage charm usually stems from the fact that the pieces of furniture have the so-called shabby look. This means that traces of use are welcome and, in the case of new pieces of furniture, are already produced during manufacture. This makes the individual pieces of furniture look as if they can already tell a story of long use. They create cosiness in the room and bring a homely atmosphere. The classic materials for upholstery, covers and accessories are cotton, linen, leather and skins. Of course, no animal has to give its life for the traditional country house style, because faux skins such as our FURRY blanket look very real due to their excellent workmanship. Fabrics such as linen and cotton often have patterns that further emphasise the country house style. These can be small flowers, tendrils, knitted patterns, checks and much more.

Furniture and accessories: how to create country style in your own home

Modern country style is a mixture of country-style furniture and matching accessories. Only the detailed accessories round off the furnishings and are usually instrumental in creating a cosy atmosphere. Our range therefore includes numerous decorative items in country house style, such as the SMILLA cushion in various colours and the ECOWOOD sculptures and lamps made of wood.

In a sitting area, create a cosy atmosphere with a few cushions on the sofa and armchair. Coordinate the material of the cushions with the materials of the seating furniture to create a harmonious overall picture. On a large wooden table like our BENEDICT model, a small blanket with a cute or rustic pattern looks particularly inviting to sit down for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. Matching curtains or drapes at the windows also create cosiness in your home. Round off the decoration with a fresh bouquet of flowers from the cottage garden or a bowl of local fruit.
