TIMELESS DECOR STAPLE
Cottage Decor
Cottage decor is charming, nostalgic, and full of comfort—celebrating handmade details, vintage finds, and cozy simplicity.

Common Characteristics

Soft, Sentimental Textures
Woven throws, painted wood, and lace or ruffled fabrics bring warmth. Lighting is often shaded, floral, or ceramic-based for a soft, romantic glow.

Vintage Finishes and Patterns
Pastels, ginghams, and florals are key. Decorative hardware might be glass, porcelain, or painted metal—evoking a sweet, collected feel.

Layered Comfort and Practicality
Cottage spaces are lived-in and functional—open shelving, slipcovers, and multi-use furniture. Fixtures often add charm without overwhelming the space.
Our Take On The Style
“We love Cottage style because it doesn’t try to impress—it invites you in. From floral fabrics to painted hardware and soft-glow lamps, everything feels easy, familiar, and full of heart. It’s perfect for anyone who loves home to feel like a hug.”
— The Amerelle Design Team

Where You’ll See Cottage Style
Cottage decor is beloved in coastal towns, rural regions, and small cities across the U.S. In New England, it leans nautical and vintage—painted floors, ticking stripe cushions, and antique light fixtures.
In the Midwest and mountain states, it skews more rustic, with gingham prints, patchwork quilts, and cozy lighting.
Southern Cottage style is a bit more floral and romantic, with pastel palettes and painted hardware. It’s a nostalgic, comfort-first style that resonates almost anywhere.
