Rooms To Love: Red & Turquoise Office

The mix of bold turquoise and red paired with more natural elements make a statement in this office nook. We love the windowseat – perfect when you need a break from work! What’s the secret for a great windowseat? A straight or curved window recess; it’s that easy. Not-too-large is better if intimate is the goal.

Design Tips

Dining Rooms & Kitchens

When decorating dining rooms, remember that dining rooms tend to be for more formal meals, while the kitchen table is not only where you and your family break your daily fast, it usually functions as a project center, homework supporter, and is generally the most utilized surface in your home. Whatever the style you want to achieve in your kitchen, the kitchen table needs to be able to stand up to wear and tear!

Inspiration Board: Americana Country Kitchen

The basic tenants of the Americana kitchen style revolve around the color choices you make. What colors say “Americana”? Red, white, and blue, of course! #countrystyle #americanfarmhouse #countryfurniture #inspirationboards https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com

Color Boards

Color Board: Blue + White

If crisp, classic, and fresh is what you have in mind, you can’t go wrong with blue and white. Remember – all blues go together – feel free to mix and match! #cottagedecorating #blueandwhite #colorboards https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com

Studies & Offices

Is your home office for personal or business use, or a little bit of both? What sort of atmosphere should it have? How much storage do you need? Any unused corner of your home can be turned into a functional communication center. The nature of the space and the requirements of the activities you pursue in it will guide the way you set it up, but remember, its still part of your home and should reflect the cottage decorating look you are trying to achieve. Be realistic – it doesn’t matter how cute your desk & chair are if they’re not comfortable to sit and work at!

Rooms To Love: Aqua & White Kitchen

We love the freshness of the aqua against the pristine white in this room! Great mix of stripes, solids, and checks. Look closely for the aqua stripes on the white tabletop – how unique! The cute chandelier with aqua accents is the crowning glory of this bright & cheery breakfast nook.

Design Tip: Choose Your Focus

Every sitting spot needs a focal point. If your living room has a natural architectural focus, such as a fireplace, built-in bookcases, or a great view, group seating around it.

To our valued customers,

Given the current market uncertainty, we felt it would be a good idea to provide you an update on our products. As you may know, we are a small, family-owned business that has been offering custom made furniture from our 15 US based workshops for over 20 years. Each of our custom furniture collections is made at a different workshop. We are a small business that supports other small businesses.

Fortunately for us, our workshops have minimal exposure to import tariffs. Our wood species (both new and reclaimed), iron beds, upholstery frames, seat cushions and floor cloths are all sourced in the US. Selective hardware, shoreline fabrics, and finishing products are imported but are a small percentage of our overall cost. Our wicker furniture frames are imported but cushions are all sourced in the US.

Currently, we have two collections affected by tariffs:

Cottage Wicker Furniture Collection: 6% Tariff
Shoreline Slipcovered Furniture Collection: 3% Tariff

We do not anticipate any significant price changes due to import tariffs. We look forward to continuing to create unique furniture designed by you and custom built for you.

Thank you,

Your Cottage Home Team
