Achieve An English Country Cottage Look With Replacement Bedroom Doors

From cosy fireplaces to beautiful wooden furniture and inviting beds adorned with patchwork quilts, the country cottage aesthetic is romantic, welcoming and focused on delivering absolute comfort. 

Whether you’re the current custodian of a traditional country cottage or you’re looking for ways to infuse a more contemporary property with some of the core tenets of country cottage living, here are some ideas to help you design a dreamy bedroom which supports rest and relaxation.

How to Enhance Your Bedroom Style with Replacement Bedroom Doors

Choose soft colours and tongue-and-groove detailing 

If you’re looking to design a bedroom that has a classic look with a contemporary edge, you can’t go wrong when choosing a soft colour palette featuring warm hues. Incorporating tongue-and-groove style replacement bedroom doors on your wardrobes can also be incredibly successful in a country cottage style bedroom, as this is a detail that can often be found in traditional properties with a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

Pro Tip: Our Bella Newport replacement bedroom doors have a classic Shaker style look and feature a textured central panel and delicate grooves for some extra detail. Choose the Halifax Natural Oak finish to celebrate the natural beauty of the wood grain or a delicate warm neutral tone, such as Antique White, Oakgrain Cream or Macadamia.

Choose heritage colours for a classic look and feel

If warm neutral tones just aren’t your thing and you want to incorporate bolder hues into your bedroom, choosing heritage colours will enable you to retain a country cottage feel whilst also expressing your own creativity and personal style. 

Everything from a deep dusky pink to a rich indigo blue or fir green can work beautifully, so don’t be afraid to really experiment with colour, even if you want your bedroom to feel classic, timeless and traditional.

Layer textures to create a welcoming atmosphere 

Whether tactile or purely visual, incorporating different textures into a space is a simple and effective way to create a room that feels genuinely welcoming and inviting. Choosing replacement bedroom doors with a natural wood grain finish will bring some visual texture to your sleeping space. If you have wooden floors in your bedroom, you could match the tone of the wood for a cohesive look or choose a contrasting wood tone for your wardrobe doors as a way to incorporate depth and character. 

From here, you can then work on incorporating additional, more tactile textures through your choice of soft furnishings, including rugs, cushions, bedding, curtains and light shades.

Maximise space with elegant built-in wardrobes 

In a traditional country cottage property, the positioning of characterful features, including fireplaces and beams, can make the process of designing a functional layout fairly challenging. Integrating built-in wardrobes into your bedroom can help you to maximise space whilst ensuring you have plenty of storage options to keep your space neat, tidy and free from clutter. 

Pro Tip: Our Bella Westbury replacement bedroom doors are another option that would look beautiful in a country cottage style bedroom.

Celebrate the uneven look 

Most spaces in classic country cottages aren’t perfectly even or symmetrical, so it often pays to lean into and even celebrate this unevenness in your overall design. While it can be tempting to try to create a sense of symmetry in a bedroom with matching bedside tables and accessories, why not mix things up instead and choose tables that complement each other but aren’t identical?

Pro Tip: Your replacement bedroom doors are one feature in your space that you will want to be even, so to ensure that your chosen doors fit your space perfectly, we recommend our soft close Hettich hinges and adjustable backplates, as they allow for plenty of adjustment and a high quality, professional finish.
