Key points at a glance:

  • Choosing the right country style: Whether British, French, or Scandinavian—each style strikes its own balance between coziness and elegance.

What types of country house styles are there?

Not all country styles are the same. Although there are naturally many similarities between the different styles, there are also some striking differences.

First, it is important to differentiate between classic or vintage country style and modern country style. Furthermore, a distinction can also be made between British, French, and Scandinavian country styles.

Suitable colors for the country house style

Of course, the right colors are important when designing a country-style bathroom. It is rare to find a completely monochrome design. For example, country-style bathroom furniture is often white, but is then complemented by other colors on the walls or in the decoration.
