Only the Homely
It's a look that can best be described as a cross between Little Women & Little House on the Prairie. Think gingham tablecloths, appliqué work cushions........country chic is more than just an increasingly popular look. It's a lifestyle.
Jill Stewart, owner of Glasgow-based home accessories company Boxwood, suggest that you start in the kitchen if you're looking to add a touch of country chic to your home - whether you're in a Georgian townhouse, city-centre flat or country cottage.
"Shaker & country styles fuse together & are simple to achieve...take a Shaker skinny heart tied with twine, place on a cupboard or door handle for an instant Shaker look.
Try to de-clutter worktops. This gives you more scope to add the odd personal touch. The Shaker belief is that ‘beauty rests on utility'...try some enamel storage jars that are both practical & stylish.......If you're looking to restyle rather than replace, there is no better influence to work with than the Shaker & country styles. One simple way to introduce this look is to start by filling an enamel jug with seasonal flowers.
Our motto at BOXWOOD is keep it simple & personal. When you mix the thoughtful formula of the Shaker & the shabby chic look of the country style, they fuse together structure & purity with comfort & homeliness, so you are bound to create something that echoes your own personal style"
