2011 Country decorating trends

Global Village This tribal and ethnic trend features weaving and basketry and a mix of terracotta and deep chocolate shades. Ideal for living rooms and hallways, this look is completed with woven fabrics, large-scale

patterns and soft geometrics.

Norwegian lines
This beautiful and streamlined trend is quietly elegant and clutter free, opening up the home to all available light. Perfect for dining rooms and bedrooms, choose key pieces of simply styled furniture and inject warmth with tactile velvets, brushed cottons and worn linen.

Modern Morris
This pretty trend is inspired by the flora and fauna-based textile designs of William Morris. The most iconic style statement of this look is a patterned wall. Ideal for a home office or hallway, this look is created with traditional fabrics and an eclectic mix of furniture.

Gypsy Life
This trend features embellishment on fabrics and furniture, inspired by folk art patterns. Look for inlaid and carved furniture and upholstery with appliqued designs. Mix and match patterns, but try and stick to one colour group, for example 'brights' such as clashing pinks and reds.
