Are you thinking of redecorating your bedroom? Are you gravitating towards something pretty and old fashioned? We've trawled our archive to find our all time favourite country bedrooms. If you have a cottage or Victorian house, it makes sense to embrace its history - a good chintz fabric or brass bed will look instantly at home. Traditional bedrooms are cosy and snug, places to curl up with a good book. Lighting is important too - if you are going for the country look steer clear of bright white lightbulbs and opt for a yellow-toned glow. Pick up some inexpensive brown furniture from your local auction house, invest in some beautiful wallpaper and dot your room with characterful accessories and you're good to go...
