Embrace the farmhouse country trend

A powerful shift is happening in the world of interiors. Pinterest trends reveal that more people are turning away from screens and reconnecting with nature, simplicity, and tradition. This movement is beautifully embodied in the rise of Farmhouse Country styling, a look that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. At Hillarys, we’re embracing this trend with an update to our Calm Living collection, designed to bring serenity and style into every corner of your home.

The rise of rustic retreats

According to Pinterest, searches for farmhouse cottage interiors have surged by over 370%, with related terms like earthy homes (+1,277%) and natural wooden bed (+859%) also trending. This aesthetic is all about creating a warm, welcoming space that feels like a countryside escape, no matter where you live.

Exposed brick, vintage finds, natural wood, and soft, earthy tones. It’s a style that celebrates imperfection, texture, and the beauty of handmade or thrifted items. Whether you're revamping a city flat or refreshing a rural retreat, the farmhouse look is all about comfort, authenticity, and a deep connection to nature.

A perfect match

Our Calm Living collection is the ideal companion for this rustic revival. Inspired by the principles of mindful living, the collection features Roman blinds and curtains in three soothing colour palettes, from invigorating blues to grounding earthy tones and calming creams, plus faux Wood blinds in both paint and real-wood looks. These tones echo the natural hues found in farmhouse interiors, making it easy to integrate the collection into your rustic retreat. The collection also includes textured fabrics, painterly designs, and artisanal embroidery, adding depth and individuality to your space.

Styling tips for a farmhouse feel

Now you’ve seen the collection, here’s our top tips on how to bring the Farmhouse Country trend to life:

Layer natural textures

Combine linen or linen-look curtains with faux wood blinds to create a tactile, layered look. Our faux wood blinds in neutral tones are perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, offering practicality without sacrificing style.

Choose earthy colours

Opt for blinds and curtains in warm neutrals, sage greens, or soft terracottas to reflect the natural world. These shades promote relaxation and pair beautifully with rustic wood and vintage décor.

Add Smart control

For a modern twist on the farmhouse look, take a look at smart electric blinds. A click of the remote lets you open and close them, or you can pair them with a Somfy hub and control them with an app that offers timers and scheduling, so you can enjoy effortless comfort that fits seamlessly into your daily routine. Our Roman and Wooden blinds, including designs from the Calm Living collection, feature motorisation as an option, so you can enjoy the authentic rustic look with the convenience of modern tech.

Calm Living…Rooms

To truly embrace the farmhouse country aesthetic and the Calm Living ethos, it helps to consider how to tailor the style in different spaces in your home. From the heart of the living room to the sanctuary of the bedroom and even the practicality of the bathroom, each room offers an opportunity to create a calming, rustic-inspired retreat. Here’s how to bring the look to life in three key areas of your home.

Living rooms - a sanctuary of softness

The living room is the heart of the home, a space for gathering, unwinding, and reconnecting. To channel the farmhouse country aesthetic, start with a palette of soft neutrals like oatmeal, warm taupe, and muted sage. Layer in natural textures through linen cushions, reclaimed wood furniture and soft woollen blankets. Roman blinds in textured fabrics add a tactile elegance that complements rustic styling while offering light control for those golden-hour moments. For a cohesive look, pair them with curtains in calming creams or earthy tones, creating a cocooning effect that invites relaxation and conversation.

Rejuvenating bathrooms

Even the most functional spaces can become havens of calm. In the bathroom, embrace the rustic retreat trend with textured walls, vintage-style fixtures, and accessories in natural materials like stone, wood, and rattan. Earthy tones such as clay, sand, and soft charcoal create a grounding atmosphere. Faux wood blinds in neutral shades are a perfect fit here, moisture-resistant and easy to clean, they offer a practical solution without compromising on style. Add a few sprigs of eucalyptus, a woven bath mat, and soft lighting to complete your serene, spa-like escape.

Relaxing bedrooms

The bedroom is where the Calm Living philosophy truly comes to life. Opt for a soothing colour scheme; dusky blues, warm greys, and gentle blush tones promote rest and rejuvenation. Layer your bed with natural linens, quilted throws, and vintage-inspired cushions for a cosy, lived-in feel. To enhance the sense of calm, choose electric Roman blinds which can be scheduled to open and close in sync with your sleep routine. The gentle automation adds a touch of luxury while supporting a more mindful, restful lifestyle. Finish the look with soft lighting, a few well-loved books, and a vase of dried flowers for a personal, peaceful retreat.

Digital detox

The Farmhouse Country trend isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s a lifestyle shift. With digital detoxes on the rise (Pinterest recorded a 273% increase for “digital detox vision boards”), people are craving spaces that encourage rest, reflection, and reconnection. Our Calm Living collection supports this with designs that soothe the senses and promote a slower pace of life.

Whether you're curling up with a book in a sun-drenched reading nook or hosting a garden-to-table dinner, your home can become a sanctuary of calm and creativity.

Farmhouse Country styling is more than a style. With our Calm Living collection, you can create a home that feels grounded, authentic, and beautifully in tune with nature. Explore the collection today and start your journey toward a more mindful, rustic-inspired home.
