Customize Your House With English Cottage Interior Designs
Greetings to the fair gentles and ladies of the new world, who may or may not have missed the archaic aesthetics! Curling up in fore-poster, quilt-covered beds, seeking out books and parchments from the rustic little house library or cozying up near the fireplace; these aesthetics are now bound to either countrysides or the bygone times. Many would love the notion of building the enchanting ‘Cottage Core’ for their home, and why would they not? The chic, country-style designs with welcoming coziness are worth every penny. Fortunately, you can bring the wistful English Cottage interiors to your home for real! Here are some of the great pillars that help you triumph over a classic English household.
Colour: The Great
Colours have the most crucial part to play. Speaking of cottage interior designs, you can turn to the classic whitewashed brick walls and stone flours to truly incorporate the essence of cottage life. You can get inspiration from nature itself with warm and playful shades for the interiors that land on light orange, pale coral, mauve, dusty pink, and every shade of green, fuchsia or deep yellow. When designing the attic, you can opt for a wall-sized wallpaper coupled with leather seats and antique decorative elements.
Furnishing: The Victorious
English cottages have always highlighted the timeless wooden elements in their decor. Naturally occurring materials in furnishing like wood, iron and organic fabrics can enhance the look of your home. Give a historic touch with wooden floors, wooden beams or wooden side tables that bring charm to your home. You can include a garden seating with rustic elements just like an English one. A lively cottage kitchen can also include a farm-to-table experience with wallpapers on the walls and a kettle to get in ‘feels’.
Floral: The Enchanting
Floral is certainly at the forefront of bringing in cottage lore. Floral curtains, sofas, accent walls with floral wallpapers, and quilts are quite the nod to the enchanting vintage decor. You can decorate your walls with floral photos or even grow some flowers in your home if you are not allergic to them.
Past: The Resurrection
The nostalgic designs that have simmered over time can be brought back into your home to give it a good ol’ aesthetically pleasing look. You can explore various furniture, antique lamps, apothecary tables and more for a vintage look in your house interiors. Discover such quintessential furniture elements in yard sales or flea markets effortlessly while you also align your home decor, floors, and walls with them. You can mix and match with any era you want because it doesn’t have to be perfect!
Comfort: The King
At the end of the day, all you want is comfort in your house. You can bring fresh designs like incorporating a fireplace in your home, changing a wall pattern, playing with cottage-style windows, or even a rustic cottage door. You can also include your own rendition of the classic in the form of quirky designs; it might be anything from a painting to a wall hanging.
