Why Country Style Homes Are Always in Demand

Country house design has remained popular for generations and for good reason. These homes bring a sense of peace and connection to nature, with wide-open living spaces, spacious alfresco areas and thoughtful floor plans that prioritise lifestyle.

Today's modern country homes blend traditional elements with up-to-date features, offering:

  • Open-plan living areas filled with natural light
  • Warm, natural finishes like timber and stone
  • High ceilings and wide hallways
  • Indoor-outdoor flow for outdoor living
  • Smart energy-efficient features

Whether you’re inspired by beautiful country views or want a home that grows with your family, a country house design delivers timeless appeal and modern comfort.

Designing a Country Home That Feels Like You

Your country house plans should reflect your personal style and how you live day to day. It’s the little details that make all the difference.

Some of our favourite interior ideas for a country style home design include:

  • Timber-look floors for a warm, rustic foundation

  • Shaker-style cabinetry and stone benchtops in the kitchen

  • A mudroom or drop zone — ideal for rural living

  • Large windows that frame big blue skies and stunning views

  • Subtle textures like linen, rattan, and leather for that cosy, layered look

These touches help you create a home that’s not only beautiful, but practical for everyday life.
