Cottage Style Decorating

May 31st, 2006 at 01:45 am

Cottage decorating is meant for real living, which makes it perfect for the budget decorator.

Cottage style is a relaxed and casual style, reminiscent of a small vacation cottage in the woods, at the beach, or in the mountains. There are no rules, except everything is usable, feet can be put up on the furniture, and charming is the word of the day.

That being said, there are a number of things a budget decorator can do to bring the cottage style into their home.

One simple way is to add white through the room. If you prefer color on your walls, remember to add lots of white and light colored accessories to brighten up the room. White painted furniture, white plates on the wall and white fabric would all be great contrasts. If you have white walls, add a hint of color to them with a wash of the palest pastels, and color in the fabric.
