Even if you live in the city, a country-inspired theme can turn a bedroom into a peaceful, cosy zone

2. Recycled timber pallets
Inexpensive and unusual, recycled timber pallets were transformed into a cosy rustic bedhead. In order to highlight the natural grain and knots, the pallets can be lightly brushed with a whitewash. This tactile bedhead is also the perfect place to hang and display loved objects.

Shady Art for any Decor
3. Striking wall art
Homely meets contemporary, here. An image of a rusty old ute adds personality and randomness to this clean white bedroom. The size and natural setting of the art makes it almost feel like you’re looking through a window.

4. Artistic framing
Who can resist the classic chenille bedspread? While it adds a vintage feel, the collection of frames introduces a contemporary – and inexpensive – edge. They turn the bedroom into a white-and-timber work of art.

6. Cool blue tones
Pastel blue is an unusual colour for a country bedroom but it works beautifully. Cool without being cold, it opens the room and softly reflects the light. The heavy candle chandelier makes a dramatic focal point in an otherwise airy room.

7. Stylish guest room
Living in the country you need to be well prepared for when friends stay for a weekend … or a week! Any spare space, such as an attic, can be turned into an extra bedroom. Comfy bedding and timber panelling makes for a classic country feel and, when it comes to patchwork quilting, a burgundy accent provides real impact.

8. A room with a view
The view of the greenery is a priority here, so a subtle, neutral colour palette is the way to go. The iron globe chandelier pulls the room together while the mirrored surround of the fireplace is an unusual, contemporary touch.

11. Creative bedhead
Flower and bird motifs add vibrancy to the room, while the white-on-white wall sticker is subtle but effective. Using a variety of fabric tote bags as a bedhead is inexpensive and colourful.

13. Inside-outside colour palette
While the picturesque view sets the scene, the bedroom’s interior has been thoughtfully edited, ranging from a delicate vintage pendant to a large sombre bedhead. The refined linen collection references the country colour palette – after all, blue and green should always be seen.

Mixing different pattens and colours is a daring and unforgettable combination. While the wallpaper, drapery and linen are mismatched, the room is brought together by the shared floral motifs.
