Country cottage style

This look works well with an eclectic mix of vintage-style furniture that feels like it’s been collected over the years. Choose pieces with similar design details, such as scalloped flourishes or period feature handles, to pull it all together. Go all out on walls and curtains with bold floral prints inspired by cottage garden blooms. Balance this bold pattern statement with simple bed linen. Choose luxurious white cotton percale and add texture with a quilted bedspread and velvet or embroidered boudoir cushions. With so much pattern on the walls, keep the ceiling plain white, echoed by a pale colour on the floor.
