You might look at this rustic, country-style kitchen and think ‘I bet that’s expensive to recreate’. There are lots of authentic textures and tones that surely can’t come cheap, right? Well, you’d be surprised.

Take the traditional, weathered wood clock on the wall, with its large face and oversized numbers. You can get a similar looking (dare we say nicer?) 17” spiral clock from Cafe Press for just £23.00 online.

The authentic, pop top bottles on the table can be found for just £3.99 a ‘pop’ on Drinkstuff. Unfortunately you’ll have to spend a little extra on some cloudy lemonade to fill them.

Furniture’s usually your main expense but you can get lovely rustic wooden bar stools in dark oak, light oak or walnut finish for just £22.08+VAT at Simply Chairs And Tables.

To add a real organic flavour My Haus do some lovely Bistro de Paris vintage wine crates just like the ones in the back of this room set. Each one will set you back only £19.95.

The room wouldn’t be complete without the lovely woven vertical blinds at the window. The bamboo style Maroa Dune design looks expensive but you can buy it made to measure from just £25.75. An absolute snip at twice the price.

So, as you can see, creating this designer, shabby chic look need not be as expensive as you think. You can all but recreate this entire room for less than £100. So next time you see a room set you really like, shop around. You might be able to do it cheaper than you think.
