The cottage decor style is very welcoming and cozy. It is bursting with romance and personality and intended to make family and guests alike feel at home. Its hallmarks are neutral or muted pastel colours and worn patinas, soft neutral or patterned fabrics, wood floors and collections of vintage details.
Beadboard, chunky baseboards, and open shelving are another common aspect of the cottage decor style. This however, is only the beginning.
