COUNTRY STYLE

Delicate and pretty with a tip of the hat to a bygone era, this autumn sees countrycore revived once more, led by a love for pattern and nature

1 OXALIS WALLPAPER

This retro-heavy trend recalls a time when pleasures were simple. A walk in the countryside, sitting by the fire, relaxing in an oversized sofa with tea and toast. Pure and healthy pursuits lead the way with this next round of countrycore. Natural textures and colours are inspired by the British countryside with leafy greens and shades of blue; this wallpaper design depicts pretty trailing oxalis leaves and little flower buds.

2 WILLIAM MORRIS CUSHION A trend that celebrates nature, quality and simplicity wouldn’t be complete without paying homage to celebrated 19th century art icon William Morris. His delicate designs were inspired by the beauty of the natural world, and his classic Strawberry Thief illustration adorns this 45cm x 45cm cushion perfectly.

3 CERAMIC JUG

When you settle down for a cup of Earl Grey on Saturday afternoon after a nature-inspired trot you will, of course, need something with which to pour your milk. This ceramic jug fits the theme to perfection with its depiction of a sandpiper, a common tiny wader. £18.99, giselagraham.co.uk

4 PRICKLY HEDGEHOG LAMPSHADE

Nestled in a deep green bed of leaves, these little hedgehogs couldn’t be happier. A love for nature is a core element of this new wave of country core and a celebration of British wildlife, with hedgehogs, squirrels and dormice adorning accessories. This monochrome shade with swathes of green has an appropriately Victorian vibe. The shades are printed on fine art paper.
