Away from their homes in Holland Park and Miami, Victoria and David Beckham have become accustomed to waking up to wild flowers and gentle birdsong on their Cotswolds estate. Bought by the family in 2016, their extensively renovated home comes to us in rare glimpses as they show off their countryside life in TikToks and on Instagram. And just in case you're wondering how to get a Beckham-inspired country home of your own, we have the answers.
Inside the six-bedroom country home lies a whole manner of rustic-style décor, such as geometric hardwood flooring, exposed brick walls, wooden beams and muted velvet armchairs. As for the country-inspired kitchen, we’re impressed by the back-to-basic approach with a wood-burning stove, copper pans and bottle-green cabinets. All of these are warm, inviting and delightful.
But the Beckham’s country home features don’t stop there. Victoria and David have access to a swimming pool, home gym and Estonian-style igloo sauna. And – of course, a football pitch. But how, exactly, do you achieve the rustic charm of a Beckham-inspired country home without their budget?
You don't need to live in the middle of nowhere to achieve a rustic look says Jen Nash, design excellence manager at Magnet. She says that country-inspired interiors are becoming increasingly popular in the industry, ‘as people return to the charm of its more traditional and warming features as opposed to the modern trends we’ve seen recently.'
Preserving the traditional elements, as opposed to gutting them with modernism, is always nice to see. If this interior style seems the right fit for you, we’ve found our favourite buys to get a Beckham-inspired country home of your own.
