Celebrating Earth Day!

Every April, Earth Day reminds us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us, and how much we need to protect and preserve it. Our earth provides us with tangible necessities to live, like air, water, and food, but it also provides us with a constant intangible resource, it’s beauty. For centuries, that beauty has provided artists and designers alike with inspiration from luscious landscapes, magnificent mountains, and roaring seas.

Cottage Style

Inspiration Board: Cottage Charm

Whether it is a cottage by the ocean or a lakeside in the woods, cottage charm can take on many forms. A true cottage is outfitted with a wide variety of furniture and accessories to make it an eclectic and unique home. This cottage style inspiration board is a blend of materials and a concise color palette, with traditional elements like the cotton braided rug and natural rattan wicker. The soft greens, blues, and ivories combine to create a romantic, charming feeling in this setting.

Coastal & Beach House

Get The Look: Seaside Living Room

This beautiful seaside living room, featured in April’s issue of Coastal Living Magazine, is part of the new Beach House Hotel in Turks and Caicos! We wanted to show you that you don’t have to go overseas to create this breezy getaway feel in your own home. Seafoam, tan, and white fabrics create a dreamy feel that instantly transports you to a sandy and serene place. The casual and comfortable slipcovered sofa and chairs make this space not only beautiful, but practical too. Slipcovers are easy to clean and allow for a no-fuss living space. Another great detail in this space is the driftwood style reclaimed wood TV stand that adds diversity and interest to this calm space.

Rooms To Love: Coastal Retreat

This sea inspired living room evokes absolute tranquility with the soft hues and comfortable fabrics filling the room from top to bottom. The overstuffed and causally slipcovered furniture makes the space welcoming, inviting, and friendly to all who enter. Using natural fibers for the coffee table, large area rug, and window shades adds an organic element that complements the coastal style furnishings. The large striped window treatments in coastal shades adds a breezy touch to the dramatic windows.

Dining Rooms & Kitchens

Inspiration Board: French Country Dining

When designing with French Country flair you want to emphasize rustic wood with rubbed and distressed finishes mixed with a dash of toiles and frills.  It is a delicate balance between luxury and comfort with a primary focus on rustic charm. #countrystyle #reclaimedwoodtables #countryfurniture https://cottagehomefurniture.com

Rooms to Love: Refined Country Breakfast Nook

An oval table is ideal in this country breakfast nook with the half moon shaped banquet. The soft buttercream, beige, and mahogany tones create a warm and inviting place to share a cup of coffee in the morning or a candlelight dinner at night. Piling pillows on the banquet increases the comfort and utilizes a great opportunity for accent fabrics and fringes. Complementing the banquet is an open weaved wicker dining chair that allows for an uninterrupted view of the table. This space is simple yet elegant with a clear attention to country decorating design details.

Design Tip: Mix & Match

A mix of country cottage bedroom furniture is far more interesting than all matching pieces. The styles should all work together; mix paints, stains, textures and materials for a more relaxed atmosphere.
