Natural Materials
Timber and natural stones are central to the design of Country homes, left in their natural state to emphasise texture and authenticity, enhancing the rustic appeal that defines these spaces.
Earthy Colour Palettes
Inspired by nature, country homes’ colour schemes feature soft, muted tones like greys, greens, taupes, and beiges, reflecting a harmonious connection to the natural surroundings.
Exposed Timber and Timber Floors
A hallmark of Country architecture is often exposed timber, whether it appears exposed trusses, mantel pieces or beams along with timber floors exude historical elegance and warmth, defining the traditional charm of country homes.
Large Fireplaces
Large fireplaces, central to the living areas, serve as functional and aesthetic focal points, providing warmth, comfort, and a cozy atmosphere that draws people together.
Wrap-around Verandahs
Spacious wrap-around verandahs enhance the aesthetic appeal of Country homes and offer practical outdoor living spaces with sweeping panoramic views. These spaces seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living and allow residents to escape the elements.
Decorative Details
Wall and ceiling panelling highlighted high ceilings, natural fibre textiles, wallpaper, and carefully curated antique furniture. Blending old and new infuses country-style homes with a lived-in feel, adding character and charm to every corner.
Modern Amenities
While exuding a traditional charm, country homes can be equipped with modern amenities such as smart home technologies, energy-efficient appliances, and contemporary fittings in bathrooms and kitchens, ensuring comfort without sacrificing aesthetic harmony.
