Rooms To Love: Luxurious Lemon

Luxury and whimsy share a beautiful home in this lovely cottage style bedroom. Even though the color palette is strong, these luscious colors combine to breathe life, energy, and joy into every corner, while creating an inviting and cozy area to retreat within. The walls are decorated in a large bohemian print that is a surprising, yet inspiring, choice for a bedroom. The strong gold color from the wallpaper is carried over into the zesty lemon drapes. In order to create balance within the space, the dominating prints of the wallpaper and the drapes are paired with minimalist furniture designs. Clean lines and simple shapes help to relieve the eye of overload, and is exactly why the white linens are a perfect finishing touch to the room.

Who says monochromatic decorating has to be boring? The use of varying degrees of taupe keeps this space calming and quiet – perfect for reading or conversation. Introducing chrome and metallic accents help enhance the visual stimulation while adding an unexpected zest to this serene space.

Rooms To Love: Rustic Coastal Cottage

This rustic coastal cottage packs a lot of personality for such a small space. The painted white high-paneled wainscoting and walls provide a clean palette to showcase the red, white, and blue motif. The reclaimed wood accent pieces, like the coffee table, the cricket end table, and the storage chest of drawers, bring in a little bit of country to this seaside cottage. Tasteful coral, seashell, and sea glass accessories sprinkle the walls and surfaces to quietly reference the home’s natural surroundings.

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.

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
