What would be considered cottage-style decor?

Answer by  JBFLA (285)

Cottage style is all about relaxed simplicity. Painted furniture, vintage dinnerware and informal fabric touches are common to this style. Pastel colors of pale blues, greens and yellows are perfect. Natural elements fit in well such as shells, rocks and even driftwood. Think of lazy summer days for inspiration.

Shabby chic, French country, beach, rustic, romantic or vintage all fall into cottage decor. You first have to choose which style best suits you or you can go eclectic and do a mash-up. Your best bet for great cottage decor finds are resale shops and yard sales. This is a fun and economic way to decorate. Have fun!
