Cottage Furniture & Decor

Embrace Distress:

What sets a cottage-inspired space apart is its sense of easy hospitality. Weathered, distressed pieces set a relaxed tone and lend your furnishings a sentimental air. Common finishes for country -cottage furniture, décor, and accents include whitewash or gesso, galvanized metal, and vintage glass.

Think Heirloom, not Antique:

A hallmark of shabby-yet-sophisticated style is items that nod to the past. But that doesn’t mean you have to source museum-quality antiques. Family heirlooms, yard-sale finds, and items that appear “found” or passed down add as much, if not more, cottage charm to a room.

Bring In a Bit of Whimsy:

Whether it’s a ceramic rooster perched on a kitchen shelf, a candleholder fashioned from mason jars, or burlap table runner, items with an unexpected story keep a home’s mood light.

Mix the upscale with the utilitarian:

A vintage-style chandelier offers a delightful contrast to a barnwood headboard, while delicate china displayed against humble beadboard assumes a quiet grace. Mix and match to create the perfect balance of elegant and rustic.
