The STYLE RULES

Give homespun style a seasonal update

Throw a contemporary country feast brimming with rustic charm, then allow guests to retire to a tranquil sleep space. PICK UPLIFTING shades Create a calming retreat from the rest of the house by picking a serene colour palette for guest bedrooms. LAYER NATURAL FABRICS Ensure visitors stay comfortable by piling beds with extra cushions and

blankets. Pick simple fabrics with a country feel like stripes and plains in linen and cotton. DECORATE BEDROOMS Don’t forget to sprinkle a little Christmas magic with a few decorations, such as pretty garlands and wreaths. KEEP TOES TOASTY A plush carpet insulates floors and a coordinating rug helps feet stay cosy on chilly mornings.

Brown tags, newspaper and twine are all affordable materials that make cute, country-style decorations
