Peaceful Patio

On the patio of a Victorian cottage in Arkansas, the wicker patio set was a hand-me-down from the homeowner's friend. Another pal sewed the love seat's cushion and pillow from fabric the homeowner scored at a Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store.

Victorian Dining Room

The rooms of this Arkansas home were stuffed with mismatched furniture covered in musty 1980s linens, but the homeowner spotted enough gems in the mix to buy the place fully furnished. She saved only the pieces with potential or items that were stunning as is, like the sage cupboard and the chippy dining table.

Vibrant Bedroom

In the master bedroom of this Catskills home, sunny-yellow paint and an exuberant green-and-white print enlivens the small space. The low-pitched roof created a seemingly unusable three-foot-high gap on each side of the room. A carpenter was contracted to fill one side with bookshelves, and the other with cabinets and storage drawers.

The homeowner of this restored Arkansas home upgraded the fixtures with chandeliers, and the Jenny Lind-style bed is one of the few furnishings she kept in the bedroom. The shams and duvet cover are West Elm; the coverlet is Garnet Hill.

Country Kitchen

You'd never guess that most of this 1900 Texas cottage was recently built. To add this kitchen, plus a living room, porch, and bathroom, the homeowners scoured the Texas countryside for materials others might overlook—from rusted pressed tin for the ceilings to salvaged windows, doors, and cabinets.

Rustic Living Room

While this Connecticut cottage's living room's upholstered furniture is white, the sofa and chairs are also purposefully deconstructed, with tufted fronts and exposed burlap-and-wood backs. A settee and two armchairs by Restoration Hardware cozy up to a Zentique coffee table. The boat propeller and oil paintings are secondhand scores.

Chic Kitchen

In this Los Angeles home, orange mohair revives a vintage maple stool in the kitchen, where Carrara marble upgrades Ikea cabinets. Task lighting comes in the form of suspended Edison bulbs, covered with Victorian wire shades. The cast-aluminum fox wine cooler was designed by Arthur Court.

Bright idea: Matching wood frames transform food-themed ephemera (labels, grocery ads, and menus) into a polished collection.

Colorful Guest Suite

The truth about this room's walls? The paneling didn't match the rest of the house, so instead of whitewashing the wood, Sarah Richardson, interior designer and host of HGTV's Sarah's House, camouflaged it with an opaque paint, The Plaza by Glidden—a compromise that comes off as intentional.

What is cottage style?

Cottage style is all about showcasing and preserving prized original features as well as creating cozy, homely spaces. Small but beautiful, cottages are awash with historic stone and timber floors, rustic ceiling beams and quirky angles, and its these elements which give cottage interiors their unique character. 

Prized features of the rural landscape, chocolate-box cottages are entwined with geology and the landscape, so taking decorating inspiration from the natural surroundings is a fitting place to start thinking about a scheme. Think colors inspired by the nature, botanical prints and an eclectic mix of handmade and antique wooden furniture.

1. Decorate in earthy, natural tones

(Image credit: Vanessa Arbuthnott)

Cottages are inextricably linked with their rural setting and brimming with natural materials with soft weathered textures so what better palette to decorate in than with the gentle colors of the countryside? 

Here, Little Greene’s greenish neutral – North Brink Grey 291 – sets a relaxed mood and a calm foundation for furniture in a mix of Vanessa Arbuthnott's nature-inspired fabrics including a vintage german sofa in Fruit Garden Straw, Pigeon, Charcoal and armchairs in her May Blossom Pigeon/Charcoal.

2. Mix and match wooden furniture

Embracing natural materials is the perfect complement to the rustic features of a cottage, as Susie Watson, founder of Susie Watson Designs , explains. 

‘Using natural wood furniture, connects a space to its surroundings and adds character,’ she says. ‘Antique furniture can blend well with newly bought furniture, don’t worry about matching the color of the wood just make sure the era of the pieces feels coherent.’

3. Choose warm, earthy colors

(Image credit: Future / Brent Darby )

Cottage style is all about creating that warm welcome and homely feel. Choosing warm shades based on natural earth pigments is an easy way to enhance the mood of a space; try creams, and earthy stone and honeyed yellow shades through to warm plaster pinks and rich terracottas for instant coziness.  

When decorating an old cottage with original plaster it is advised to use a breathable formula made such as Edward Bulmer's Natural Paint , for similar shade to the above try Brick.

4. Choose a Shaker-style kitchen

(Image credit: Devol)

Based on the Shaker principles of simplicity, utility, and craftsmanship, the elegant proportions and fuss-free, linear design of Shaker kitchen cabinetry make it perfect for a humble cottage, mixed in with reclaimed unfitted pieces for a relaxed feel. 

If low ceilings are an issue, limiting storage mainly to base cabinetry is a good way to keep a cottage feeling bright and open, while also allowing beautiful stone walls to stand out, as this beautiful deVOL kitchen proves. 

(Image credit: Devol)

Cottages are loved for their warm and welcoming feel, and key to creating this is including a rustic farmhouse table and chairs for social gathering, as Helen Parker, creative director at deVOL explains.  

'The charm of a cottage kitchen is often the quirky and eclectic mix of old and new that gives the feeling of a cosy and welcoming space. A vintage kitchen table and chairs is a must, all cottages need a spot for chatting and drinking tea and the ubiquitous jug of wild flowers.'

6. Fill your home with garden flowers

(Image credit: Future / Brent Darby / Styling Pippa Blenkinsop)

When it comes to cottage style 'fresh garden or hedge row flowers are a must and can mark the difference between urban and country living,' reveals Vanessa Arbuthnott. 

For a pretty floral centerpiece on your kitchen table, gather a selection of vessels in different materials and sizes such as apothercary vases, chippy enamel just, jam jars and stoneware pots and fill with your fresh pickings. Don't worry about stems being different lengths or about colors clashing, this variety of blooms jostling for attention is key to the quaint cottage look.

7.

Decorate with heritage prints

(Image credit: Future / Kasia Fiszer)

Pay homage to the beautiful rural setting of your cottage by decorating with papers and fabrics that capture the charm of the countryside. William Morris – artist, designer, poet, socialist and ‘Godfather of the Arts and Crafts Movement’ – created hundreds of designs that celebrate the beauty of nature. 

Mostly created around the late 19th-century, his stylized flora and fauna prints are still available to buy today, in original and refreshed colorways, and are the perfect way to bring the beauty of nature into the bedroom. 

8. Add in upcycled vintage furniture

(Image credit: Future / Kasia Fiszer / Styling Pippa Blenkinsop)

The great thing about creating a cottage look is that it can be created on a shoestring using vintage pieces and a bit of imagination. Easy to come by at specialist furniture shops and flea markets, dated brown furniture can easily be refreshed with some chalk furniture paint into original and rustic pieces, as this pretty desk proves.  

Don't worry about the finish or the wood color, instead look for beautiful shapes that will shine once painted. When you have spotted the perfect piece, simply sand down, coat with Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint and sand again once dry to create this weathered French look. 

9. Choose a traditional, curvaceous sofa 

(Image credit: Susie Watson Designs)

With elegant curves and a Howard-style silhouette, this small Classic sofa from Susie Watson Designs is a great choice for zoning a snug kitchen-cum-living room, and is layered with paisley, ticking and statement floral cushions, plus a wool throw, for a cozy cottage feel.

10. Get retro with your textile treatments

(Image credit: Vanessa Arbuthnott)

Thought that the curtain pelmet and sink skirt were things of the past? Think again if you're looking for cottage bathroom ideas. Vanessa Arbuthnott shows how these vintage-style designs can look fresh and stylish in this bathroom using her pretty mix and match fabrics. To stop the look feeling too cutesy, embrace contemporary color combinations, such as the the Dark Hay/ Charcoal colorways of these French Ticking, Herbaceous Border and Dainty Daisy fabrics. 

‘The yellow and grey botanical fabrics bring the countryside in and the pretty striped frill around the sink softens and warms up the space too.’ says Vanessa. ‘The bathroom is given a light and airy feel, with its painted wooden floor, and free standing bath.’

11. Paper with romantic botanical wallpapers

(Image credit: Colefax and Fowler)

Prints inspired by nature are a mainstay of quintessential cottage interiors. A master of timeless style, Colefax & Fowler is the go-to brand for romantic botanical prints. New from its Jardine Florals collection, Greenacre features distinctive fan-like gingko leaves with dancing blossoms to produce a contemporary foliage design, and is available across wallpaper. For a vintage botanical bedroom try using this Leaf Green colorway wall to wall, as well as on a quilt, chair and valance.

12. Use a neutral palette to highlight rustic features

(Image credit: Neptune)

There’s something truly magical about sleeping up in the rafters. Let original oak beams stand out against a palette of simple neutrals or pastels. Complement the rustic patina of aged wood with a natural seagrass carpet, then try delicate patterns, such as Neptune’s Emma linen in Sage for upholstery and cushions. 

'As spring is on the way, natural colours like pinks and greens, complement the light and contrast harmoniously against darker greys,' says Amber, home designer at Neptune . 'Alternatively, an all-white look can go a long way in lifting the room to create a lighter space, and our Grace scatter cushions are perfect for adding a little texture.'

13. Create a cozy reading spot

(Image credit: Future / Jody Stewart)

There's lots of Marie Kondo-inspired talk about living clutter-free these days, but when it comes to cottage interiors, a little clutter is a good thing. Shelves of books make homes look cozy and lived in. Having bookshelves floor to ceiling in the living room will keep books organised and will mean they're close at hand when you want to curl up with one by the fire.

Decorating a wooden house inside: 30 photos with ideas for interior decorating a wooden house

Finishing the facade and interior of a wooden house can differ like life before the wedding and after. And the point here is not only in different environmental conditions, but also in different tasks. If the exterior primarily interacts with the landscape, then the options for interior decoration of the house, first of all, dictate its layout and the master's ideas about the harmonious design of the living space. The interior of a wooden country house can be anything - bright and calm, "urban" and "country", progressive and old-fashioned, but not boring. Let's see how you can use the aesthetics of wood inside the house for different cases using the example of completed projects in Russia and abroad. nine0003

Continued. First part: Exterior of a wooden house: 20 projects with ideas “for life”

Donati Studio

Success through pastel
The wall of a wooden house, even in its “naked” form, has its own color and character - it is not always worth decorating it additionally. If you don’t really like the shade of natural wood, but at the same time you want to keep the peace and warmth emanating from it as much as possible, avoid “pure” colors and intrusive contrasts. In the project in the photo, the designer managed only two pastel shades. nine0003

Donati Studio

Double-height windows: options for finishing a wooden house inside

Take the height
A living room in a country house is a place of attraction for all living things. The more spacious it looks, the better. If the house is low, it is better to make the central zone (hall, living room) under the ceiling, sacrificing part of the second level, but you will get volume and twice as much light from the front windows. Long, two window openings at once, curtains will help to stretch the room even more. Although it is better to think about the height of the living room, of course, not during the finishing of your wooden house, but at the design stage. nine0003

Donati Studio

Warmer, even warmer
Carpets will be appropriate in any wooden house, since they are purely ideologically similar to wood in terms of "heat transfer". In addition, with their help, you can select different zones of the internal space. Especially this method works well in a snow-white interior. By the way, the white double bass is a bar. Knowledge that cannot be shared.

Anton Petrov | ANTON PETROV Unique Home

Hide cuts in cabinets
The owners of this house in the Moscow region were not particularly captivated by the aesthetics of the hut, so they hid (where they could) a rounded log behind smooth panels with a wooden pattern. The trick is that these are not just panels, but full-fledged cabinets on a push-up system (pressed-opened): not only wires and pipes are hidden there, but also a lot of household items.

Anton Petrov | ANTON PETROV Unique Home

Furniture without corners
Furniture of bionic natural forms organically looks in a wooden setting. The beauty of such a table, as in the photo, is also in its lightness: the glass top does not hide the decorative base and does not overload the interior. nine0003

Anton Petrov | ANTON PETROV Unique Home

Slatted ceiling with built-in light
In order not to underestimate the ceilings, it makes sense to use slatted lathing instead of drywall. Wiring can be run in grooves, and fixtures can be built between suspension rails. Such a ceiling looks not only pretty, but also voluminous. In this project, 10 cm slats were used.

Lace instead of color
If you don't want to overload the interior with bright details and it is important to keep the "feeling of a whisper", you can use volumetric decor in the same color scheme as the wall - for example, openwork carving. The lace frame in the photo frames the large clock. In the same project, the study and bedroom are decorated with carved ceilings.

Tatyana Rozhkova

You can't spoil a wooden interior with firewood
Another interesting idea from this project is decorating the fireplace portal with a woodpile in a metal frame. Creating such an installation will require not only firewood, but also patience - all the logs are fitted to one another and manually fixed. And who said that decorating a wooden house inside with your own hands is easy? nine0003

Decor&Design

50 shades of white
The wooden house in the photo belongs to a family from Krasnogorsk. The owners liked the natural wood paneling, but lacked elegance and lightness in the interior. Then the designers proposed to complement the woody palette in the living room with complex light shades (they are also called shades of white) in furniture, textiles and tiles. Cream, baked milk, ivory, arctic snow - all these shades coexist perfectly with wooden walls, making the interior more airy. Yes, and more modern, what is already there. nine0003

Marina Gaskova Interiors

Cages and canopies
In this dwelling on Istra, the hostess really wanted to preserve the color and texture of the Angarsk pine, so the decoration of the walls of the wooden house turned into a spot work to create comfort. Lights and candlesticks in the form of bird cages, wicker furniture, fresh flowers and floral ornaments hint at the French country. And in the daughter's bedroom, the massive finish of the wooden house balances the airy canopy over the bed. nine0003

Marina Gaskova Interiors

Tiles and majolica in the fireplace area
Do-it-yourself decoration of a wooden house has clear limitations: many “apartment” decorating techniques here become visual noise. Fortunately, there are tiles - what looks like an intrusive solution for finishing a fireplace in a cramped apartment, here it turns out to be just right. If you want to make the hearth the compositional center of the room, use tiles or under-tile tiles, as in this project. The area around the fireplace (and kitchen apron) can be highlighted with majolica with floral patterns. nine0003

Lavka-Design

Patchwork porcelain stoneware
If there is no money or energy for tiles and glazed ceramics, the walls in the fireplace or stove area can be decorated with patchwork porcelain stoneware.

COUTURE INTERIORS

Stone won't hurt
Decorator Anna Vasilyeva chose imitation timber for her carcass. Finishing the house with wood both outside and inside resembles the aesthetics of Finnish cottages. To maintain the Scandinavian country style, the facades of the building were painted in light gray (white and gray were mixed on site until they were in unison with the external environment). And for the design of a wooden house inside (pictured), stained spruce timber, stone, furniture with a shabby texture and stuffed birds are responsible. nine0003

COUTURE INTERIORS

Come on, plate swords on the wall
To add light and dimension to the room, one of the walls in this project is finished with mirror panels. The blue-and-white gzhel at the joints helped to preserve the retro style of the interior. For a modern-style house, this technique would be on the verge of kitsch, and in a wooden wall with painted plates it looks very organic.

COUTURE INTERIORS

Cabinets without walls
An interesting option for a wooden interior is to make open cabinets without back walls. Why hide the beauty of natural wood? On the contrary, it can be emphasized with the help of lighting built into the cabinet. nine0003

COUTURE INTERIORS

Double - forged
Win-win style for finishing a wooden house - Provence. A win-win technique for Provence is wrought iron furniture. It won't outdo wood paneling, no matter what wall color you choose.

Tatyana Ilyina (Sorokina)

Or draw
A wrought iron bed doesn't have to be wrought iron - it's quite expensive. The black headboard, “flirting” with the table lamp in the photo, is another illusion. It's just painted on the wall. In another room of this house, a fabulous tree has grown at the head of the bed. To talk about what you can do when decorating a wooden house inside with your own hand. nine0003

Tatyana Ilyina (Sorokina)

Shafts - in the furnace
One of the typical problems in a wooden house is how to hide ventilation shafts so that they do not spoil the interior. In this project near Moscow, they were designed in the form of false ovens, tiled with tiles to look like glazed ceramics. Looking at the cast-iron oven doors and spectacular "chimneys", it is impossible to think that this is an architectural trick that supports the aesthetics of the chalet.

Tatyana Ilyina (Sorokina)

Wooden doors in the bathroom
Finishing a bathroom in a wooden house (pictured) is a special issue. Someone is afraid of dampness and fungus, refusing wood in favor of tiles, while someone is looking for high-quality antiseptics and varnishes to preserve the charm of an alpine hut (a Provence-style house or a Russian hut). Pay attention to how the "screen" under the bath bowl is trimmed. Brutal wooden doors with "forged" hinges provide access to the pipes.

Olga Ashby Interiors

Aquarium in the wall
Another typical problem of decorating a wooden house inside is massive blank walls. Especially if they have constructive value. Even more so if we are talking about a log house. Most often, this problem is solved with the help of mirrors that create the feeling of a window. But in this house near Moscow on Dmitrovsky highway, they solved the problem differently - they inserted a large aquarium into the wall. Glass lets in sunlight and visually connects the living room with the dining room. It is important not to forget that log cabins tend to expand and contract depending on the season. So lay backlash for the aquarium. By the way, there were some reflections here too - equipment is hidden in the mirrored cabinets under the aquarium. nine0003

Stashchuk Tatiana

Chalet: turn down the brightness
The basic formula of chalet style: wood + stone. Both of these components should not create the feeling of a remake, so the stone is chosen in discreet tones, and the wood is aged, stained, tinted and patinated. You will not find brightly colored details in the Alpine style, all shades here are muted, soft. You can diversify the range of materials using any natural "ingredients" of the same wood range. It can be black metal, linen, leather, horns, etc. The same puffs can be upholstered with a bull skin - it will look expensive and warm (does not work on vegetarians). nine0003

Tatyana Stashchuk

The same tree, only in profile
If you are already looking at this pretty couch, a replica of Le Corbusier's popular model, then, in order to avoid envy, do not look higher - there is a remote-controlled ceiling solarium above the chair. Look to the right - it demonstrates an interesting way to decorate a wooden house inside with your own hands. The wall is decorated with cut logs: very simple, and at the same time spectacular.

Ekaterina Seryozhina

Wall corks
Wine corks are another suitable material for decorating the wall of a wooden house. Cut each cork into two halves and glue them over the selected wall. So your collection will be in front of everyone, and the room will receive an additional portion of warmth and volume.

Rosbri Decor Studio

Floral print wallpaper
Furnishing a rustic wooden house does not oblige owners to create an all-wood interior, especially if you want to get a home in the English or American style. Wood goes well with paper, but it should be wallpaper that is not inferior to it in depth and charisma. A common demarcation option: the bottom is wooden, and the upper part of the room is decorated with wallpaper in a large floral pattern. The photo shows the men's area of ​​the house in Vladimir, finished with wallpaper from The Modern Gentleman collection of the American brand with French roots Chesapeake. The tree is an amber-coloured oak. nine0003

Lavka-Design

If there is only one accent
Wood trim inside the house cannot but take into account its dimensions. The natural shade of wood can make small spaces even tighter, so it is better to tint it in translucent white: this way the woody pattern will be preserved and the room will look more spacious. A whitened background allows you to use large bright details, but it is better that there is one accent color and few details, otherwise they will start arguing with each other. In the project in the photo, such a detail was a green staircase, under which vintage suitcases are stored. nine0003

Lavka-Design

Sometimes a tablecloth is not just a tablecloth
Another life hack from the same project with an apple orchard: instead of curtains in several rooms, including in the photo, Ivanovo linen tablecloths were used.

SEE ALSO…
Curtains in wooden bynthmtht – 456 more photos closet, like in this old villa in the suburbs of Stockholm. The hostess simply sewed matching covers for Ikea upholstered furniture, and the rust-red Chinese sideboard didn’t even have to be repainted (although that wouldn’t have been difficult). nine0003

ARCH.625

Pink plywood and black glass
Plywood is the best material for the walls of a country wooden house in a modern minimalist style. It can be tinted in any tone according to the design project, without losing the feeling of warmth of natural wood. Plywood is also good because it is suitable for the production of built-in furniture in a uniform interior.

The wooden house in the photo uses glued panels of 12 and 6 mm plywood, varnished in a light pink shade like Canadian cedar. Another finishing material in the project - black tempered glass - works in contrast with light wood, but remains in the same minimalist clip. A white leather sofa with a modern rectangular shape completes this game. nine0003

Evgenia Shimkevich

Clapboard like a canvas
The finishing process in a wooden house depends not only on the design concept, but also on the dimensions of the room.

For example, clapboard is less suitable for creating a modern interior than plywood or OSB. But with its help, it is easiest to create a light country atmosphere and stretch the room in length or height, depending on the direction of the board. So, in the project in the photo, the grassy color immediately dips the kitchen-living room of the Samara house into the summer and makes the ceilings higher. nine0003

VHZ Design Group

Unusual in the ordinary
There can be a lot of wooden decor in the interior of a country house, as it corresponds to the general eco-style. Cones, driftwood, twigs, hemp - ideally, each item should have its own purpose. So, in this American house, an old wooden boat has become a closet and the main highlight of the rustic-style living room. The contrast "white pine background - dark stained decor" always works well.
