Update the rustic look by mixing bold coral, daffodil yellow and fresh mint with simple wood furniture and oversized meadow prints.

Love this living room

• For modern country style, grey is the new cream. Silhouetted cow parsley patterned wallpaper fits the bill nicely.

• Team with strong colour pops of mint, coral and yellow; add an interesting mix of cushions to the sofa.

• Geometric patterns are the perfect foil to traditional floral designs; introduce contemporary wire baskets.

• Balance the scheme with natural textures, such as worn wood, to contrast with the fresh spring colours.

 

Good Idea

Give white floating shelves a soft feel by faux-suspending them with hessian upholstery webbing.

 

Styling Tips

For a fun way to display tulips, fill a square wire basket with water-filled jam jars and line with a length of brown paper.

Divide one large bunch of flowers into smaller vases, painted jars and mini bottles. Place them on tables and shelves around the room.

 

Soft grey & fresh mint

Mix these shades with uplifting coral for a fresh take on the rural look.

 

 

Easy easter make

Add pretty faux flowers, leaves and feathers to a woven wreath and display on a shelf alongside other countryinspired finds.

 

Practical Display

Hanging woven baskets on chunky wooden hooks creates a useful and stylish storage solution.

 

Picture Perfect

Attach bulldog clips to wooden paddle boards for an interesting way to display favourite family photos.
