When the snow is falling, the wind is whipping, and the snow plows are out, there is only one place to stay warm - inside! Making your home cozy is essential in the long, cold winter months here in Maine. Here are our top 5 cottage style decorating essentials to keeping it warm:
1. Bedding
Pillows, comforters, electric blankets! Pile it on so that when you slip into bed, it is instant heaven. Check out Parachute, a company that sells amazing bed sets and gives back for every dollar you spend.
For more tips on how to keep your bedroom warm, check out our previous post "Layering your Linens."
Laying area rugs in hallways, bedrooms, and the living room can help to keep the toes toasty. In warmer months, bare wood or tile floors can be soothing, but not in the dead of winter!
Light bulbs come in a variety of colors that range from white/blue to white/yellow, and each range sets it's own mood. In winter months, when we are craving the warmth of the sun, switch out your bulbs to a yellow tint for a warmer effect. Energy Star recommends looking for lights that range from 2700K - 3000K for the desired effect.
Cool White versus Warm White Light Bulbs
5. Cable Knit Blankets
You can't have enough blankets, and we absolutely love the look and feel of big cable knit blankets. Throw them on the sofa to provide color, texture, and warmth to your home.

This stylish study area proves that leather furniture doesn't only belong in formal seating areas. Leather furniture options have come a long way and are now offered in a variety of colors and forms to complement any design style. Here we see two leather chairs with clean, modern lines paired with a traditional tufted ottoman for a mixed style. We love the wall to wall bookcases that line the room and create a spectacular focal point. Choosing the bold turquoise for the largest piece in the space makes quite the statement in this stylish study!
Do you like the neutral rug in this space or would you prefer something with pattern?

Blue and tan are a classic combination in any room scheme. In this color board, a tan and white striped rug anchors the look, complemented by the whimsical latika delta fabric, solid chambray blue fabric, a tan and cream window pane fabric, and blue and cream striped fabric. Wood furniture pieces finished in honey stain and a two color rub of ivory over nautical complete the room.

This cottage style living room hosts a beautiful blend of rustic elements, casual furniture, and artistic accents. The scale of the primitive stone fireplace creates a natural focal point for the cozy seating area, and has a well defined mantle that is home to beautiful rustic accents. The varying shades of deep indigo, washed denim, and royal blue look amazing against the clean white slipcovered sofa and paper white walls. Keeping the walls bare, and the accents to a minimum, contributes to the simple, uncomplicated, and effortless design scheme.
What is your favorite blue accent in this space?

Bold shapes, pattern and color spread across this eclectic cottage style bedroom at every turn. The wallpaper design is a creative and whimsical print that is absolutely the focal point for the color palette and style choices. Choosing the warm chestnut stain for the stately bed creates the perfect contrast against the cobalt blue accents. And that chandelier! The funky shape is just another unexpected element in this unconventional bedroom!
Do you like the modern elements, like the X shaped ottomans, paired with the more traditional styles, like the bed?

This pretty cottage style dining room is a study in natural neutrals, with a blend of tans, creams, whites, and browns. The square leg farmhouse table brings a rustic element to the space, while the full skirted slipcovered parson's chairs lend an air of sophistication to the room. A simple wrought iron chandelier, striped cottage rug, and cane seat chair round out the neutrals look.

Making an outdoor space comfortable is easy with timeless teak furniture! These pieces have really thick cushions which make the seating oh so comfortable, and come in a variety of outdoor fabrics, so you can personalize the color palette. The frames are made of 100% teak wood, which is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, warping, shrinking, splintering, insects, fungus, marine bores and termites, making it the ideal material for outdoor furniture. We tied the whole look together using an indoor/outdoor rope rug in an awesome denim color, and chose throw pillows with a similar blue for added impact.
We would love to hear what your favorite outdoor furniture material is! Is it teak, wicker, or do you prefer resin?

Greyis once again at the heart of our color board, accented with coral and flax. Mix and match neutral solids for the sofas or chairs and add interest with paisley and stripe pillows or curtains. A geometric grey rug brings the look all together. The result is a soft and sophisticated living room that soothes the soul.

This rustic chic bedroom is filled with drama, color saturation, and chic bohemian accents for a mixed and eclectic style! The dark navy paneled walls are absolutely stunning, and create quite the impact in the overall design scheme. The rust and honey hues in the rug pick up the rich tones in the oak flooring perfectly, and the combination breathes so much warmth into the space. Layering the bed in bohemian style blankets and accent pillows really add so much personality and flair to the space. True vintage iron beds are chipped and the paint finish is worn away to create this amazing aged and rustic texture.

If you like charcoal gray, than you will love this week's cottage style decorating color board! The palette offers subdued hues of ashy gray and blue, and we added a nice kick of lemon to keep it lively. The transitional style of the rug pairs nicely with the contemporary fabric prints, and the entire look would suit a formal living area perfectly.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you adore gray?

When the snow is falling, the wind is whipping, and the snow plows are out, there is only one place to stay warm - inside! Making your home cozy is essential in the long, cold winter months here in Maine. Here are our top 5 cottage style decorating essentials to keeping it warm:
1. Bedding
Pillows, comforters, electric blankets! Pile it on so that when you slip into bed, it is instant heaven. Check out Parachute, a company that sells amazing bed sets and gives back for every dollar you spend.
For more tips on how to keep your bedroom warm, check out our previous post "Layering your Linens."
Laying area rugs in hallways, bedrooms, and the living room can help to keep the toes toasty. In warmer months, bare wood or tile floors can be soothing, but not in the dead of winter!
Light bulbs come in a variety of colors that range from white/blue to white/yellow, and each range sets it's own mood. In winter months, when we are craving the warmth of the sun, switch out your bulbs to a yellow tint for a warmer effect. Energy Star recommends looking for lights that range from 2700K - 3000K for the desired effect.
Cool White versus Warm White Light Bulbs
5. Cable Knit Blankets
You can't have enough blankets, and we absolutely love the look and feel of big cable knit blankets. Throw them on the sofa to provide color, texture, and warmth to your home.
Cottage style decorating is casual, colorful and comfortable. Painted furniture, slipcovered sofas, reclaimed wood tables, bright fabrics, wicker chairs and striped rugs are all part of cottage style decorating. We have collected all of our cottage style decorating posts in one place including Color Boards, Rooms to Love, Get the Look, Inspiration Boards and Design Tips to help you develop your cottage decorating design ideas. All of the posts include sorting tags if you need to focus on a color or need decorating ideas for a specific cottage room. Enjoy browsing!
