We’ve all done it; been on a weekend break to some posh country house, filled with luxurious modern furniture like velvet sofas, quilted chairs and glamorous glass coffee tables; and come back deciding we’d actually like to recreate the look in our own home.
This year, the modern country house look is actually one of the key interiors trends, so we thought we’d try to help you get it just right with the use of Danetti products.
Firstly, it’s important to invest in the basics – everything should be solid and well made. You want to give the impression that these pieces of furniture are modern classics, not fads. Opt for chairs with solid wood legs, sofas with quality upholstery that will last, and large tables that are suitable for a grand family dinner.
Secondly, light, airy, slightly faded colours can work very well, as can rich red tones, so opt for duck egg blue, lemon, plum, grey and cream in some rooms and a sophisticated red, grey and black colour palette in other rooms. Add sparkle and grandeur with metallic accessories, modern chandeliers and glass tables.
Thirdly, dress the space well – use lots of plump cushions in living spaces and crisp white bed linen layered up with blankets in the bedrooms. You should also adorn the walls with individual pieces of interesting art and sculpture that look like they have taken a lifetime to collect.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to mix classic period features like ornate bannisters and fireplaces with simple, clean, modern furniture – that way you won’t feel like you’re living in a museum, but rather a wonderful, modern and dynamic home that’s perfect for the 21st century – that is really the essence of the modern country house look.
