Introducing Cottage Style in Your Home

One of the greatest benefits to this style is its versatility. In reality, the best Cottage Country (gite champagne in French) style is one that embraces a pleasing mixture of floral fabrics, distressed furniture and vintage or rustic elements, but combined in a simple manner. Whatever its culture, Cottage country style emphasizes natural elements of the surrounding environment, wicker from a garden or rough wood from the ranch, whether seashells from the shoreline.

It's important to be flexible and creative about the possibilities of any given piece, as long as it's something with simple construction with a versatile decorating scheme such as Cottage country. Part of the fun of this style is using imagination to create a Cottage Country look that is totally unique! The decorator's choices in fabrics and furnishings will determine how the Cottage Country theme moves through the home. Wicker and wrought iron are perfect choices for a Garden Cottage theme, and they, too, can be painted.

Start the metamorphosis into Cottage Country by selecting a theme and a color palette. These types of cottages are best location for Holiday indre et loire (vacances indre et loire in French). Naturally the theme will determine what furnishings to choose for the room. The key is to choose a theme, and build on that basis. It can encompass everything from English Cottage to French Country, from Beach Cottage to Rustic, Western or Lodge.
