COTTAGE STYLE IS SOFT, COMFY & COZY. IT’S A MATTER OF TASTE ON HOW YOU WANT YOUR DECORATING STYLE TO COME THROUGH. SOME PREFER THE TAILORED COTTAGE LOOK WHILE OTHERS PREFER THE LAID BACK APPROACH. HERE ARE SOME IDEAS THAT I HAVE USED FOR MY CLIENTS OVER THE YEARS.
FOR A NEUTRAL PALETTE, THROW ON SOME PILLOWS OR A THROW WITH COLOR.
PAINT ONE WALL A COTTAGE COLOR THAT WILL POP WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM
MONOGRAMS, VINTAGE LINENS, LAMPSHADES GIVE YOUR ROOMS ONE OF A KIND APPEAL.
CUSHY SLIPCOVERS THAT CAN BE PULLED OFF & TOSSED IN THE WASH OR CHANGED ON A WHIM
VIGNETTES OF CANDLE STICKS, SHELLS, NATURE TO EVOKE THE COTTAGE LOOK
DON’T DO IT ALL AT ONCE, AN OVER TIME LOOK GIVES A MORE COHESIVE, EASY FEEL & IT’S FUN TO GO OUT “ON THE HUNT” SEVERAL WEEKENDS.
LANDSCAPED ART GIVES YOU THE FEELING OF BEING ONE WITH NATURE & IF IT’S A SENTIMENTAL OIL, ALL THE BETTER
USING MULTI PATTERNS IS OK AS LONG AS THE PATTERN HAS ONE HUE IN COMMON. I LOVE THE LOOK OF TOILES, FLORALS, CHINTZES & CHECKS
AHHHHHH!! PAINTED FURNITURE, WHAT SAYS “COTTAGE” MORE THAN THAT……ESPECIALLY IF IT’S PAINTED WHITEWASH MY MOTTO: “IF IT’S NOT MOVING, PAINT IT WHITE©”
