Country Cottage Home Decor

Transforming your living space with country cottage home decor provides a warmth and cozy feel you may otherwise lack in the busy world we live in. Rooted in the English countryside, the Country Cottage style uses light accents and warm colors to bring life back to the inhabitants on England's all too common grey days.

If you are looking to paint your walls, colors tend to learn towards light and bright. Yellows, pinks, blues, and off-whites are very common Country Cottage wall colors. A nice floral pattern wall paper or painted accent elements also invoke that Country Cottage feel. The use of stone or brick walls or fireplaces can also add a pleasing and warm earthly element within a County Cottage room.

Traditional cottage floors tend to be uneven do to the earth ground built on. This, of course, is a bad idea to incorporate so modern country cottages tend to use hard wood floors or stone. You can save some money going with a faux distressed stone or wood floor.

Wooden accents on furnishings as well as wood benches, tables, and side tables enhance this design style. Look for farm style tables that show wear and character.

Accessorize with warm tones in rugs and decor. Fresh flowers always entice the senses, liven up a room, and complement the cottage theme perfectly. The use of floral patterns on accessories and cozy cotton blankets add to the feel of Country Cottage Home Decor.
