Rural Retreat


Imagine a luxury escape to the country without leaving home.

A contemporary twist on the country theme, “rural retreat” combines fresh and light elements, with rich timber textures and contrasting vibrant hues. Stylish, indulgent and serene, the theme depicts a luxury getaway with the finer things in life.

To recreate this look, Lindy Evans from Windemere Interiors suggests drawing inspiration from country retreats and layering with different textures and colours for added depth. “Start with a light, neutral palette in a warm shade, such as cream or taupe and highlight with varying browns and greens in olive and avocado for a cosy but contemporary feel. Layer rich, rustic timbers with luxurious throws and knitted cushions for texture and contrast with indulgent fabrics of fur and silk to add a touch of luxury.”

To recreate this look, I suggest drawing inspiration from country retreats and layering with different textures and colours for added depth. Start with a light, neutral palette in a warm shade, such as cream or taupe and highlight with varying browns and olive greens for a cosy but contemporary feel.

Layer with rich, rustic timbers and deep plush rugs for texture, and contrast with a splash of vibrant colour, like indigo. Rich, indulgent fabrics add a touch of luxury.
