Country Cottage Bedrooms Pictures
Carefree and charming, a country cottage style garden is relaxed and colourful. Throw the rules out of the window and opt for blowsy roses, vintage style planters and authentic style furniture. Here's our guide to creating this look in your own outdoor space...
1. A rustic bench
A country cottage garden would not be complete without a wooden bench, somewhere to sit any time of the day for some quiet reflection with a cup of tea. Choose a simple design for authenticity and, as we all want a little comfort when sitting outside, make sure you have a good selection of plump cushions.

2. Beautiful blooms
A country cottage garden and beautiful blowsy roses go together perfectly - not only do they add colour and scent but also they are essential for bees. The go to place is David Austin Roses , winner of 23 Chelsea Flower Show gold medals. You can order online or visit the beautiful rose gardens and plant centre in Wolverhampton.

4. Optimise planters and containers
If you have more of a paved area than a green lawn, don't worry - you can still create a country style look by using planters. The below are made from zinc plated steel in a ribbed vintage style, and they are designed for large plants like hydrangeas or small trees. Group them together for added impact.

5. Create a welcoming seating area
Let the garden be the star by choosing furniture that is practical and beautifully crafted but low key. This set is perfect - made from A-grade teak plantation timbers, it's hardwearing, has a 5cm hole for a parasol and will last a lifetime.

6. Practical storage
Shelf ladders are a great way to display everything from garden tools, balls of string, bulbs and terracotta pots, this design is made from spruce and can be used inside or out. The trays are sturdy so can hold quite weighty pots. Use the top narrow shelf for small and dainty ones.
