Furnishing a country living room

A country living room is warm, inviting and timeless. Start with the basics and build up layer by layer.

Step by step

Furnishing a country living room

Start with a comfortable sofa in natural fabric as the anchor of the room, and set a solid oak coffee table beside it. Build the space up layer by layer with a country rug, warm earthy colours and mood lighting from floor and table lamps, so the living room feels inviting straight away.

  • Start with a comfortable sofa in natural fabric.
  • Choose a coffee table in solid oak.
  • Add a country rug for warmth.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is solid oak easy to maintain?

Do you work made to measure?

Yes. Almost everything is made to measure: dimensions, wood, finish and hardware are all chosen so the piece fits your space perfectly.
