Country cottage decorating often involve bringing a little of the outdoors, such as flowers and lots of greenery, to the inside. Let’s start with some wrought iron or wicker seating. These furniture, after a good clean-up, also fit well inside the house. Colors choice typically include lots of white with little addition of soft pastels. Another alternatives are lighter colors such as bright reds and brilliant blues. Simply put, these are the necessary items that need to be included; Milk stools for plant stands, Old trunks for coffee table, Old sewing machine cabinets, and Ladder back chairs. As for the fabric, these are good options; flowered chintz or soft chenille looks for slipcovers and throw pillows, soft cottons, do mix and match stripes and floral for an eclectic look, several dishtowels draped over a curtain rod or long panels of white cotton tied back with a contrasting ribbon, lace as addition to the curtains, tablecloths, napkins, etc. Accessories really emphasize the country cottage look, aside from being flexible for replacement, they are also fun and easy to use. The accessories may include old china pieces, hatboxes, old suitcases, quilts, rugs, birdcages, or ivy.
