Ideas & Advice
Cottage style is rising in popularity because of its warm, cozy aesthetic. Whether you live in a New York loft or a quiet countryside home, you can use this style to create a soothing retreat in your living room. Not sure where to begin? Look out our beset cottage living room ideas, tips, and tricks to get started.
Fireplaces in general can serve as natural focal points in living rooms. They can be especially impactful in cottage living rooms where you want to create a warm impression. Whether you have a real chimney fireplace or just a decorative fireplace, that piece can serve as a main accent and reinforce the room's aesthetic.
This room has many facets of cottage style on display, but one of the biggest ones is natural lighting. Sunlight helps create a light and airy space that feels calming and cozy. Whenever possible, look for opportunities to maximize natural light in your cottage living room.
Wood is perhaps the most popular accent in cottage style living rooms. In order to create a light atmosphere, use light wood tones. To create a more moody rustic cottage, lean into dark or unrefined woods. If you like both those tones (like this room) then use both shades of wood in different capacities to strike the proper balance.
Eclectic style is yet another style that can blend well with a cottage aesthetic. Eclectic style is all about unconventional design, unique patterns, and using accents that are meaningful to you. That gives you the ability to customize your room to really reflect your tastes and establish your desired tone.

Looking to create a classy cottage living room? Oriental and persian rugs can help you achieve that look.. These rugs are considered to be timeless thanks to their versatile patterns, and since they're available in many different designs and color schemes, you can find one perfect for your cottage living room.
Patterns used in cottage style living rooms typically harken back to nature or classic living. Floral motifs are particularly common, but so are more traditional damask prints. You can display these patterns in seats, blankets, pillows, area rugs, and curtains.
The decor and furniture used in cottage living rooms typically refer back to the great outdoors, but you can take it one step further by emphasizing a literal connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. This practice can help you define the living room's tone and create seamless flow throughout a wider area.
Rugs are an essential part of creating a cozy space. If you want to make it extra cozy, layer multiple rugs on top of one another. Not only will that add plushness to your room, but it also gives you more opportunities to highlight your cottage style through pattern, color, and texture.
It can be tempting to just copy existing rooms, but each home is unique with its furniture, color schemes, and of course, the homeowner. If your living room has a unique piece of furniture or architecture, then use those aspects to set your room apart. Your home should be a reflection of you, not a staged magazine photo.
Stone can be a wonderful accent for cottage living rooms, but at the same time, the stone can make the room feel colder in tone. That's where a plush wool or animal hide area rug can come into play. The warmth of the material and its plush texture can balance out the stones' coolness and help you create a cozy living room. If that's not enough, add wool accents like pillows and blankets as well.
Even though beige and cream are the most popular colors for cottage living rooms, grey still has its place in this scheme. A simple grey sofa, area rug, and/or grey accents can still fit a cottage style and create a soothing tone.
A general principle of interior design is that soft rounded edges create more gentle impressions than furniture with sharp lines and corners. This principle is shown here, and as you can see, the room feels more approachable thanks to the use of soft edges and a general lack of sharp corners.
