Country Cottage Charm

FRENCH COUNTRY COTTAGE: French Cottage Kitchen Inspiration

The decor of the Country Cottage is filled with attractive traces of the past. The nostalgic country cottage is simple, practical and fun. Inspired by ancient times, it is easy to create in your home today.

The charming farmhouses are often stocked with vintage cabinets, rustic cabinets and antique wood cabinets, where the bare necessities are kept. Even if a storage is built into your house, vintage pieces of furniture have an aesthetic charm. Store the sheets in a vintage wooden trunk with iron straps, which also serves as a coffee table. Showcase pretty rural artifacts and everyday objects in open bookcases made from old mid-century doors and wrought iron. Hide equipment and electronic devices behind the doors of a weathered patina cabinet.

Ancient forests that have stood the test of time and seen generations bear the beauty of old age. The comfort of the earthy woods and furniture, which hints at the past, warm muted colors and repeated washed textures of the carved consoles and old media boxes convey a lively feeling.

The color palette for your rooms is warm, subdued and gentle, as if fading with time. Creamy whitewashed doors and a minority yellows a lighter version in the disturbed ocher coffee table with floral curtains and you're almost there. For heavily used doors, many layers of paint with notches and signs of wear and worn edges can be seen. A daybed with old pashmina wool blankets is a wonderful addition. Use old room dividers or doors as headboards and simply keep the laundry with white blankets.

Hand-woven cotton bedspreads and patchwork pillows create a casual atmosphere. Rugged wood floors and a veranda triple arch that lines the porch provide rustic architectural details. Handmade baskets or rusted metal buckets keep supplies. A swing on the porch offers additional seating and potted plants that are full of flowers everywhere and give a warm, homely touch.

Quiet and simple is a character of the country cottage, avoid layering and keep windows and floors bare. No effort and easy sitting on a sturdy old door dining table with iron chairs, flowers from your garden are the only accent that is needed.

Furnish with faded textiles and graphic displays of local shops, old peasants' stalls and oxcart benches. Antique doors and windows display a rustic old elegance, exhibited near a sculpture or water fountain. Country life and hut charm mix with relaxed living and casual charm.
