Farmhouse Bedroom is a 1938 watercolor by Eric Ravilious, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour shows a simple bedroom. The room has a bed, a chair, and patterned wallpaper. Eric Ravilious used soft colors to paint this quiet scene. The wallpaper has bright patterns, but the bedspread stays plain. The iron bed frame and wooden chair have curved lines. Together they balance the room’s straight walls.

The watercolour depicts a sparsely furnished bedroom featuring a double bed with an iron frame and a wooden chair, set against patterned wallpaper and rugs. The room includes a hallway visible to the right. The composition contrasts the intricate designs of the textiles with the simplicity of the bedspread and the linear structure of the furniture.
