A cottage-style living room that will warm your heart
This relaxing, traditional-style room is inspired by cosy country cottages. Patterned and richly coloured textiles, like cushions and curtains, are a big part of its personality. And it has a passion for decoration – with flowers, scented candles, wall art and different fabrics providing a multi-sensory treat.
Setting the scene with flowers and scents
A bouquet of flowers in a pretty vase and a few candles don’t just add beauty and atmosphere to the room. They also help set the cosy country cottage style. Scented candles, with their wide choice of fragrances, let you create or change the mood in an instant.
Small steps to big improvements
Small things can make a big difference. Like a footstool that brings the already high seating comfort of this armchair up to the next level. Or an extra cushion or throw that makes you more comfortable and helps you get the look and feel you want. Here, a red-brown cushion cover adds a rich, warm touch to the colour scheme.
Cosy and coordinated with beige as a base
The classic check pattern of this pillowcase strengthens the cottage style. The light beige sofa is a neutral base that makes it easier to play with the colours, shapes and patterns in the textile products used with it. There are many different textile elements but they’re all connected and coordinated.
A desk and more that blend in
A traditional-style desk, cabinet and lamp, plus an elegant chair with a retro touch, create a zone for hobbies or paying bills in harmony with the rest of the room. The desk has a cable outlet and a compartment where you can hide things like your laptop behind a sliding door when you want to relax.
Wall décor that reflects the style
Charming pictures strengthen the rustic style. Along with the armchair, they help create a cosy, relaxing corner full of inspiration from art and nature. There’s not too much wall decoration in the room, so it feels calm. A fun idea is the convex mirror that adds depth to the space and an eye-catching twist.
A cosy cottage where you always have time to relax
Its traditional look and rich colour mean this spacious coffee table coordinates nicely with the other furnishings. In this room, the classic but relaxed style of the furniture, the floral theme, and the patterns and colours of the textiles help create a space where you can just cosy up and unwind.
