This blog aims to help the DIY and decorating enthusiasts among us. It can be hard to find good information and websites that will help you with your projects, so I am trying to collect the good ones on one site.

Country Style Homes

What style do you like? There are websites to suit everyone. Country style is perennially popular, you have to consider what sort of house you live in, of course. This style can suit humble cottages to country mansions, it’s all a matter of proportion.



The great classic website for this is, of course, Laura Ashleywww.lauraashley.com . Here you will find fabric, furniture, linens, lighting etc. to grace the grandest house or a seaside cottage. Their style has been meticulously created to cover all aspects of interior design.



Another great website is Cath Kidston’swww.cathkidston.co.uk . The offerings here are colourful, floral, and much loved by her admirers. Mix and match, don’t overdo it and you will love the results.


A fairly new website also offering the look is Country Creamwww.countrycream.co.uk . It has gorgeous fabrics, affordable home accessories, bedding and hand painted furniture sourced partly from sheltered workshops. A business with a heart.



A nice site offering the French country style is Lavender and Sagewww.lavenderandsage.co.uk . It has reproductions of old French furniture and many beautiful hand made creations. Browse and buy lighting, soft furnishings, kitchen accessories, enamel plaques and much more. Well worth a look.

The country look is a classic, will never look dated, and can be added to over the years.
