Cottages are different from homes, with regards to utility as well as the setting. In modern day parlance, homes are where we live all the time, mostly in an urban setting. On the other hand, cottages are like a retreat, a second home or a second dwelling, mostly in a beautiful and picturesque setting on the countryside or near the sea. Hence, decorating cottages is very different from decorating homes.
One can experiment and innovate while decorating and designing cottages and use your creativity and imagination to the maximum. The natural ambiance surrounding the cottages play a major role in deciding the way that that they should be decorated. For example, a cottage by the beach should be surrounded by palm trees and should be designed with bright and airy colours.
One thing that must be kept in mind is that the look of the cottages should be as simple as possible. This is because they are mostly smaller in size, with smaller rooms and lower ceilings, though there may be exceptions. While decorating the place and doing the interiors, one should ensure that the room retain their spacious look. This will make the rooms and the total space inside the cottages look bigger. Cluttering it with too many things and too much furniture will make it look smaller and give a cramped feeling. Bright colours too tend to lend an impression of more space.
One can decorate cottages exceedingly well and with a lot of originality and creativity, thereby lending them a personalised touch at a much lower expense. The windows are elaborately made up with either lace curtains or even bamboo shades. One can lend a stylish, a classic or a fun look to cottages depending upon the colours, the furniture the curtains and other upholstery that is used. Old antiques, chests and dark wood pieces help in creating the classic look.
Hence, decorate your cottages with a lot of creativity and at leisure and turn it into a cosy and peaceful haven where you can relax and refresh yourself away from the hectic lifestyle of the city.
