Fresh air coming through the windows, scents of herbs and flowers filling the rooms, and, of course, a whole family gathered together… What could be better? A country cottage is the special place, which, decorated with love and care, becomes a cozy and welcoming home full of warm memories and pleasant emotions.
The following country cottage decorating ideas will help an owner of a country home to make the house an even nicer place.
Accessories in Country Cottage Interior
Usually accessories, though often little and even unnoticeable things, make the overall interior of the country cottage cozy. Since country homes are often furnished with wooden furniture, accessories made of natural materials would also be the most suitable for the country house interior. Materials to choose from are countless, and, provided by the nature, such accessories do not call for much expense.
Ideas on Using Baskets in Country House Design
Made of wood, bamboo, wheat, or rushes, a bucket is on its own a nice item to decorate a country cottage. However, it’s always great to fill an ordinary thing with some creativity.
- Decorate a basket with colorful ribbons and bows, and use for storing fruit in the kitchen, or hair accessories in the bathroom, for instance.
- Fill a basket with dried flowers and fragrant grasses, and put on the window-sill as an element of décor.
- Use a basket as a bed for a potted flower.
- Hang light flat baskets on the wall. They can be hung either on their own, or together with pictures and other accessories as a highlight in the room décor.
Decorating a Country Home Bedroom with Candles
Though candles can serve as a beautiful accessory in any room, they are especially appropriate for a bedroom. Here are some ideas on how to make ordinary candles look special.
- Use a clear glass, a goblet, a glass jar, or a small vase as a candle holder for long thin candles. Fill it with small nuts, cones, or simply corn for the candle not to fall out. Decorate the glass with little painted branches, pine needles, dried flowers, beads made of dried berries, or any other natural material.
- Use a beautiful small plate as a candle holder for a thick candle. Surround the candle with some of the above mentioned accessories.
Such self-made and always unique candle holders will add to the cozy and enjoyable atmosphere of the country house interior.
Decorating a country cottage is an interesting and pleasant process that results in beautiful and cozy interior. Use baskets and candle holders decorated with natural materials as accessories for the country house décor.
