As another season of weddings steals upon us, it's comforting to have a place to curl up and browse bridal magazines - or to simply escape from the stress. Either way, this cottage living room has all the necessary elements for success, as in the traditional bridal saying: "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". Just like a carefully selected bridal trousseau, this sitting area is made up of weathered pieces and hand-me-down heirlooms standing alongside modern textiles.
Achieving a relaxed charm is as easy as mixing slightly different favorites, like a slipcovered sofa with a slightly more formal exposed leg chair. The pairing of a round and square table is nicely echoed in the large round clock and the rectangular shutter wall art. Crisp whites and neutral naturals play with bright accent colors like citrus green and turquoise hues. The antique open front hutch - a real rustic show-stopper - gets a new lease on life with an aqua painted interior. Blending old and new, whether salvaged or newly-found, creates a unique, stay-awhile feel.
Are you a collector of old and new?

Wicker furniture and natural fiber rugs are the key to a summery feel, whether placed in your office, den or porch. The honeyed tones of rattan and bleached sand of jute can instantly create an uplifting tropical environment within your home. And besides simply being pretty, added accessories in green and blue sea hues balance the basic earthy palette with an aquatic coolness.
Wicker furniture and accessories bridge the gap between rustic and polished, winter and summer, earthy and formal. Wicker can be painted any color or left in its natural state. It is a year-round favorite that you can mix and match with many other styles, including woodsy lodge decor, cottage painted furniture and pieces with natural fiber details. Wicker is not just for the porch anymore.

[post_content] => The winter is fading, but there's still enough left to merit finding a cozy space. Grab a book and a cup of tea and sink into the calm solitude of this deep blue library. This reading nook boasts floor-to-ceiling bookshelves painted in a cadet blue, a fresh change from more commonly seen shades of navy and china blue. Renowned for its calming properties, blue perfectly suits bedrooms, porches and just about anywhere you want to relax. This library's particular hue of blue lends a sense of reassuring solidity, not stuffiness.This small area plays with cool tones and warm: plush apricot pillows and a rusty red occasional table lend a dusting of warmth to the palette. Also, the traditionally tailored sofa juxtaposed with an animal print partner and a rattan coffee table creates a slightly playful and informal area. This room is not taking itself over seriously, and the antique lion figure surveying the scene approves.
What's your favorite book: a classic or a new work?

The lull between the holidays and the first signs of spring can set the mind wandering to warmer climes and bright colors. In lieu of an island getaway, create an atmosphere of deep ocean waters and beachside margaritas with aqua, indigo and citrus green touches. Adding an occasional table in Avocado over Barn Paint or an area rug like the bold Prism Hand Knotted Jute Rug will instantly change your wintry frame of mind.Ramp up the color with tropically bright fabrics, paint and rugs, or choose to combine brights with neutrals, as in our versatile 100% cotton Aquinnah Woven Cotton Rug. Our featured Shoreline Slipcovered Furniture fabric, Ferngully Indigo Fabric, offers a beautiful natural pattern in a carefree and breezy linen/cotton blend.
Which island do you dream of visiting?

When you love pattern and color it can be hard to decide where to play it up and when to tone it down in your cottage home. Today's Rooms to Loveis a great example of how color and style can live together in a balanced and harmonious way.
This fabulous living room is home to style blogger Micheal Wurm, Jr. who wanted this space to be colorful, yet not too intense, so as not to distract from the beautiful architecture. He chose a neutral gray for the walls, which is light enough to blend into the background, and a crisp white to highlight the amazing architectural details in the space, like the built-in bookcases, crown molding, and decorative mantel. He also chose a light charcoal gray for the sofa and chair, again to build a neutral foundation in the space.
Now that the stage had been set, he chose textiles and accessories in a myriad of patterns and colors to bring the space to life. The largest source of color, and the main focal point, is the modern flag print area rug. Everything else in the space, like the puff ottomans, throw pillows, wire baskets, and small accessories, pick up the hues found in the rug including royal blue, electric yellow, and fire engine red.
What is your favorite color found in this unique and creative space?

We love this room because it pulls off a grandness of scale while remaining comfortably cozy. Thanks to its earthy tones and horizontal lines, this true open concept living room harbors no cold pockets of space. The floor to ceiling windows provide a majestic view while the low, sleek lines of the furniture and the simple wooden mantel create a communal feeling. The narrow ledge from the level above also creates a subtle boundary without overshadowing the seating area. The soothing neutrals of the muted brick hearth wall seem to melt down into the perfectly matched hues of the chairs, sofas and area rug. A few well-chosen accessories in warm colors add dimension and a thoughtful symmetrical arrangement cements the look. The tailored silhouettes and mix of wood and fabric create a Scandinavian vibe so perfect for lodge living.

Yearning to wander the stalls of an open-air market of an ancient seaside town? Let us conjure up images of rich silks and heady spices swirling about some refreshing aqua hues in case you can't steal away. Vessels of rich brown nutmeg and deep red paprika brimming full alongside yards of peacock blue silks and rich gold floral damasks against bright scarlet fields...
It can be exciting to find that colors you may not have pictured together blend so seamlessly. The Chalet Stripe Wool Woven Rug embodies a mix of warm, earthy colors with some multiple cool blue tones. Fashioned from a sturdy wool and cotton blend, this rug will tie together many elements of your decor with seasonless style. It would be equally at home in a rustic study, a lodge entryway or a cottage living room. Also pictured are a variety of patterned and solid fabrics with which to accessorize, as well as a brown sisal rug that pairs well with the Chalet Stripe.
Which seaside city do you look to for decor inspiration?

We love this farmhouse living room with its cozy fireplace seating area, use of natural elements and unassuming charm. With couch and armchairs placed to appreciate the fireplace rather than in a more traditional configuration, an intimate grouping takes root. Although turned out mainly in crisp whites, this room is grounded by the warm, honeyed tones of the wood flooring and woven fiber rug. A console table behind the couch unifies the room's warm tones and whites in its semi-distressed state. Rustic pine cones and a horseshoe crab shell work alongside the bright blossoms and leafy green plants to add pinpoints of interest. All these treasured objects, including the juxtaposition of art upon the mantel, are placed in a non-structured yet welcoming way.

We love this cottage style living room with its minimal use of color balanced with confidently placed bold touches. The crisp, clean feel comes from the expansive use of white for the wall and ceiling colors, the trim, the lighting fixture, the big, comfy, cloud-like couch and even the picture frames. What cozies it up are the old dark wood floorboards and the punchy pillows and flowers. The eye-catching circular drum lamp is echoed in the great low painted round coffee table to establish the room's inviting symmetry.
Would you dare to do a room all in white?

As the hot summer months cool down for a crisp September here in Maine, we start to crave the warmer tones of fall foliage. In today's cottage style color board, we chose warmer autumn colors, like pumpkin and marigold, but since we aren't quite ready to let summer go, we used a couple of amazing ocean blues too.
You can find all of these spectacular colors in the Hayden Hand Tufted rug, which is made of 100% wool, and perfect for large gathering areas, like the living room or family room. The design of the rug is a mix of traditional and transitional, and will fit many different cottage style homes. We chose fabrics to complement the focal point rug, and they can be used in any combination for a sofa, loveseat, accent chair(s) and throw pillows. Do you love the colors, but want to choose a more subtle rug? Check out the Lake Spectrum Hooked Rug that brings a burst of color to the space in a simple print.
Which rug would you prefer for your family room?

Relaxed, refined and simple are just some of the ways to describe this understated cottage style great room. The space flows easily from casual dining area to the relaxed living room, all while maintaining an inviting and open ambiance. The use of similar textures, colors, and furniture styles, makes this a seamless and cohesively designed space. Among the simple and understated color palette of creams and grays are a few special pieces that jump out including the large, antler chandelier and the botanical prints that adorn the wide board walls.
Do you gravitate towards a neutral palette or a colorful kaleidoscope in your home?

Today's cottage stylecolor board is a kaleidoscope of colors that come together to make a bold statement. Mandarin, sunshine yellow, beach rose pink and gullah blue are all vibrant cottage colors in this amazing indoor/outdoor rag rug, Coco Red, that we used as our foundation piece in this color scheme. The rug is a perfect casual style rug for a living room that sees a lot of traffic, because of it's durability and beautiful color palette. The ornate paisley print would be a phenomenal fabric choice for drapery to continue the bold color palette throughout the space. Want to add more color? Choose any of the four paint colors for finishing occasional tables or a large accent furniture piece.
What is your favorite color found in our kaleidoscope color board?

As another season of weddings steals upon us, it's comforting to have a place to curl up and browse bridal magazines - or to simply escape from the stress. Either way, this cottage living room has all the necessary elements for success, as in the traditional bridal saying: "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". Just like a carefully selected bridal trousseau, this sitting area is made up of weathered pieces and hand-me-down heirlooms standing alongside modern textiles.
Achieving a relaxed charm is as easy as mixing slightly different favorites, like a slipcovered sofa with a slightly more formal exposed leg chair. The pairing of a round and square table is nicely echoed in the large round clock and the rectangular shutter wall art. Crisp whites and neutral naturals play with bright accent colors like citrus green and turquoise hues. The antique open front hutch - a real rustic show-stopper - gets a new lease on life with an aqua painted interior. Blending old and new, whether salvaged or newly-found, creates a unique, stay-awhile feel.
Are you a collector of old and new?

Renowned for its calming properties, blue perfectly suits bedrooms, porches and just about anywhere you want to relax. This library’s cadet blue lends a sense of reassuring solidity, not stuffiness.

The lull between the holidays and the first of spring can set the mind wandering to warmer climes and bright colors.
