COUNTRY style is one of the easiest to live with, thanks to its relaxed informality, gentle colours and interesting textures. Faded fabrics and natural
materials, such as mellowed wood and stone, all create a sense of timelessness and give the impression of buildings and furnishings that have been there forever.. Luckily there are plenty of
ways to achieve the look even if you have not got access to heir-

A COUNTRY bathroom, full of decorative details and charm. This room features in “Country Living: Short Cuts to Country Style” (S)
“Country Living: Short Cuts To Country Style", says: “There are certain colours, patterns, fin ishes and details that summon up an instant sense of the coun try. I t can be something as sim ple as a paint colour to trans form a sitting room, a chintz fabric that gives a window a totally new look, or maybe a collection of china displayed on an open shelf.” She believes nothing should
be too contrived or perfect. “The key to this look is a sense of calmness and relaxation, because country style is simply about displaying things you love in rooms you love to be in. I t doesn’t rely on appearance and posing is strictly forbidden!” You’ve probably already got
many of the essential ingredi ents. All you need is a little rear rangement, a dash of imagina tion and the minimal outlay on
some accessories and hey presto! a country style home is yours So whether your home is an
urban terrace or a rural man sion, let country style bloom.
Colour schemes for country
sitting rooms can include green and lavender. This has a hazy romaiitic feel, and is a restful combination which comple ments subtle mixes of fabrics and paint colours.
Coral and cream are rich and
indulgent but very tranquil. Cream is perfect for paintwork, and carpets, while warm, flame- tinged pinks in accessories will add graceful accents. With fabrics and papers, look
out for country motifs, such as leaves, feathers and, of course^ florals and fruit.
A mixture of patterns gives'
the room a more welcoming, less] formal feel. Find a common' colour that links the different] designs.

IT is hardly surprising that TV presenter’s Kevin McCloud’s home is full of character. What is amazing is finding him in it. ; His TV series, Channel 4’s “Grand Designs”, where people create their dream homes, means filming around the country- and long periods away from his own dream house near Glastonbury. . Recently, he’s been busy filming the fifth series - scheduled for next year — and his brand new series, “Grand Designs Abroad.” : The series follows the whole process of
creating eight homes, including a stunning church renovation in Ireland, a chalet in France and a castle restoration in Tuscany. Kevin confesses it has given him itchy
feet: “I am considering moving abroad, just for a year or two, to give my children a chance to learn another culture. And I may well build my own house there. I t’s some thing I’ve never done myself.” Currently he is blissfully happy with both

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 23rd, 2004 19 Choose the right plants and enjoy those autumn highlights...
AS summer turns into autumn, colour in your garden can be transformed into a sea of amber, orange, red and burgundy, if you choose the right plants. You have to remember that, while
summer flowers may still be in full bloom through the autumn if you have fed, watered and dead-headed them regularly, the colours may look
a bit incongruous against the back drop of autumn as leaves turn from green to gold, burnt orange and red. To match the autumn surround
ings, plant up pots of orange-berried winter cherries and ornamental pep pers, try some dwarf Michaelmas daisies, chrysanthemums and cape heaths. Many such plants combine well
Kevin’s confession
with ivies and other hardy foliage plants such as ornamental kale, but remember to keep them sheltered and protected from hard frost. Asters look fabulous combined with
gold variegated trailing ivies and heathers with lime-green or flame coloured foliage. Find some pot chrysanthemums in shades of orange, deep red and brown
and they look great in blue-glazed patio pots. Stand-alone architectural plants can
create a stunning impact, including phormium hybrids and the striking red- purple Cordyline australis “Torby Red”. Bulbs are always an option. And
don’t forget some winter-flowering pansies, available from autumn and go on right through to spring.
