COUNTRY STYLE

This is a wide-ranging aesthetic with enduring appeal and these are some of the brands and designers we look to for beautiful rustic pieces

AAG HENDY & CO

Alastair Hendy bought a Georgian property in Hastings in 2008 and painstakingly restored it, turning it into a homeware destination and restaurant. From aesthetically pleasing 1930s garden tools to enamel crockery and wonderfully woven linens, there's everything you need to create the ideal country kitchen and home.aghendy.com

ALFRED NEWALL

The designer-maker's work is informed by a deep appreciation for traditional woodworking techniques - Alfred is a graduate of the Building Crafts College and also previously worked for Plain English Design. The Arts and Crafts movement informs several of his pieces, plus there's the Bobbin range, which takes its inspiration from 17th century ‘spool’ furniture. alfrednewall.com

ANOTHER COUNTRY

Founded by Paul de Zwart in 2010, this brand creates beautiful furniture, accessories and lighting in the most sustainable way it can. The Natural Home range - a selection of toxin-free products, natural materials and nature-friendly textures, colours and patterns - has been curated to encourage a healthier home. It also has notable, contemporary appeal. anothercountry.com

BAILEYS HOME STORE

Something of a country style treasure trove, not only is there a selection of furniture, accessory and lighting design to shop, but it is also all set in a series of rather alluring historic farm buildings in Herefordshire. The ethos is to ‘repair and reuse’, so while there are new products for sale, you'll also find pre-loved and vintage pieces woven through the shop floor. baileyshome.com
