Representing Cottage Style in Your Home

Say "Cottage Country" style and many people think automatically of overstuffed rooms full of too much furniture and too many designs. In reality, rustic elements and vintage or distressed furniture, the best Cottage Country (gite champagne in French) style is one that embraces a pleasing mixture of floral fabrics, but combined in a simple manner. It can encompass everything from English Cottage to French Country, from Beach Cottage to Rustic, Western or Lodge.

The key is to choose a theme, and build on that basis. Whatever its culture, Cottage country style emphasizes natural elements of the surrounding environment, wicker from a garden or rough wood from the ranch. Start the metamorphosis into Cottage Country by selecting a theme and a color palette. For example, a typical English Cottage or Cottage Garden style palette centers.

Holiday indre et loire (vacances indre et loire in French) is present for Cottage Country for your vacation in your weekend. Naturally the theme will determine what furnishings to choose for the room. In fact, one way to coordinate a mixed group of furniture for Cottage Country style is to paint all the wood pieces the same color. Wicker and wrought iron are perfect choices for a Garden Cottage theme. Move toward Western, Rustic or Lodge Country styles and the palette deepens considerably with crimson, pine, brown and gold.
