Color Board: Rise & Shine!

We had a blast creating this week’s cottage style color board, because of the medley of colors that the Rise and Shine rug has to offer! That is the beauty of starting your design scheme with a rug that offers so many colors to work with. You have the option of playing up the strong strawberry red, or the pale powder blue, depending on what kind of overall feel you want to create. We decided to use all of the colors found in the rug to really create a bold and brazen look. #decoratingwithcolor #colorboard #paintedfurniture https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com

Color Board: Embracing Autumn

This time of year you want your cottage home to be a retreat from the chilly air outside.  We recommend introducing copper, persimmon, and golds into your decor to create a strong sense of warmth and comfort.  The featured rug boasts a variety of golds and rusts, and is a great jumping off point for an inviting palette.  We suggest a mixture of soft solids, relaxed linens, and weathered leather for a texturally interesting combination.

Color Board: Rustic Farmhouse Decor

The concept for this rustic style color board began with the “Country Dream” canvas. The imagery is so peaceful, quiet, and calm – that is what we wanted to evoke in the color scheme. #farmhousedecor #colorboard #countrydecor #fallcolors https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com

Color Board: Energetic Colors!

Are you looking for a fun and lively colorful cottage decorating palette to get a room redesign started? Look no further! This color board offers a beautiful balance between zesty orange and lime green, with a splash of powder blue. The burnt sienna printed rug (in the top left hand corner) would lay the foundation for a bold look in a living room, with the powder blue fabric for the sofa. Then, have fun with the other patterns and prints for pillows, accent chairs, and curtains! Any combination you decide on will make your space a haven for color and creativity.

Inspiration Board: Lake House Bedroom

What better way to rest after a long day hiking, swimming, or fishing than in a cozy cabin bedroom? The stately bed sets the tone for the fantastic rustic theme seen throughout the lake house bedroom, while the accent colors of warm brown, red, and blue reflect the woodsy atmosphere found outdoors. A kaleidoscope of earth tones are found in the braided rug, which enhance the warm and inviting feel of this restful room. And don’t forget the adorable moose accent pillow that adds a dose of country charm!

Inspiration Board: Porch Breakfast Nook

What better way to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee than on a three season porch? Here is an inspiration board to help you put together a quaint and cozy breakfast nook look. The hues of blue, cream, and white make for an easy-on-the-eyes palette that will blend right into the summer sky. Wicker pieces can help create a seamless transition from the inside to the great outdoors. Rattan is a natural material that is eco-friendly and durable. We suggest this look for a covered or three season porch only, because natural rattan is not meant to be in the direct elements.

Decorating with blue and brown is easy since they are a great complementing color combination. Bring in rustic undertones to your lodge or lake house with this inspiration board, while keeping your design in the modern era. With this wicker chair, one can either bring it indoors for a nontraditional look or keep outside on the porch overlooking the serene lake. Either way, this beautiful piece of wicker furniture would provide the extra seating needed for your Memorial Day gathering with the family. Don’t forget the details! The lamp, rug, and pictures add a small hint of color.

Rooms to Love: Boyish Charm

This adorable boy’s bedroom offers an updated and refined country farm decor style. It combines rustic elements, like the dark floorboards and ebony stained dresser, with refined touches, like the tufted upholstered headboards. The ivory colored walls, cream curtain panels, and beige rug produce a neutral palette, allowing the plaid bed linens to make a prominent statement.
This is an ideal scheme for a boy’s bedroom that you want the kids to grow into. It can also double as a guest bedroom when needed. Your guests will feel like they are staying at a sophisticated lodge retreat!

Collaging Upholstery Pieces

The collage application for upholstery has been around for years, but has gained the reputation of being a predominately country look.  In this post, we

Inspiration Board: Green & Brown

We love decorating with green and brown, two of our favorite colors here at Cottage Home! The neutral and earthy shade of chocolate allows for the green accent pieces to take the center stage and show their beauty. Pairing the rich chocolate with green and white allows for sense of balance and tranquility to be created. A simple horizontally striped rug and recycled glass wave table lamp give a living room or bedroom just the right amount of visual texture.

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
