ACHIEVE COUNTRY LUXE: COMFORT, RUSTIC CHARM, AND STYLE WITH TIPS FROM METRICON’S EXPERT TRACEY NOONAN
Discover the allure of Country Luxe — a design style that effortlessly blends comfort, rustic charm, and modern elegance.
Metricon’s Interior Designer Tracey Noonan shares how this style captures the essence of modern farmhouse living, drawing inspiration from Australia’s expansive landscapes.
“Country Luxe is all about creating a space that feels both inviting and sophisticated,” Tracey said.
“It’s a perfect balance of pastoral elements and refined details.”
Country Luxe harmonises classic charm with modern convenience, making it an ideal choice for contemporary living.
“This style combines the best of both worlds,” Tracey said.
“We use traditional materials like timber and stone, but we pair them with modern design features — think open-plan layouts, sleek fixtures, and even high-tech amenities.
“The result is a home that feels cozy and familiar, but also meets the demands of modern lifestyles.”
Tracey highlights several key elements that define the Country Luxe style:
Natural materials
“Timber, stone, and other natural materials are at the heart of Country Luxe,” Tracey said.
“These materials bring warmth and authenticity to the space, grounding the design in a natural, earthy feel.”
Neutral colour palette
“The colour scheme is all about soft, neutral tones—creams, beiges, and greys,” Tracey said.
“These colours create a calming, serene atmosphere, and you can add depth with accents like charcoal or forest green.”
Timber furnishings
“Timber is essential in a Country Luxe interior," Tracey said.
“Look for unique wooden furniture with character — pieces with louvre panels, for example. The natural imperfections in the wood add personality to the space.”
Textured layers
“Layering textures is key to achieving the Country Luxe look,” Tracey said.
“Incorporate rich textiles like linen, wool, and jute, and don't forget those cosy decorative elements.”
