CHARACTER QUIRKS

Original, quirky features are a huge part of what makes country homes so special. ‘Master bedrooms are often blessed with a central chimney breast. Such features add character but can present a challenge when it comes to freestanding furniture,’ says Megan Baker, head of design at My Fitted Bedroom. ‘Fitted furniture makes the most of the available storage space and can also deal with any uneven flooring or wall issues. We recommend doors that reach the full height of the room for a neat and uniform look.’
