Cottage style decorating bedroom


Cottage bedroom ideas: classic takes on rustic bedrooms

There's something very comforting about cottage bedroom style. Based on simple, traditional designs, it's a look we turn to again and again when decorating and furnishing rooms. We've rounded up the key elements for a cottage bedroom look, along with advice and inspiration from interior design experts to help you create the cottage bedroom of your dreams. 

See: Bedroom ideas – designs and inspiration for beautiful bedrooms

'The cottage is all about low-ceilings, exposed beams, wooden floors, sloping ceilings and small windows,' says textile designer Vanessa Arbuthnott . 'The bedroom can be challenging to decorate, often squeezed into small spaces and nestling under steep rafters. 

'A lack of storage and little room to maneuver can be serious practical issues, but the charm of cottage bedrooms is undeniable. Originally built for workers the interior of a cottage should reflect its heritage, with rustic simplicity.'

Cottage bedrooms are not just for real cottages, however. Cottage style can work just as well in townhouses, apartments, and new homes. And in any case, it's not just one look. Cottage bedrooms come in all shapes and sizes and draw on a host of different influences and traditions. 

Whether you live in a classic cottage with exposed beams and polished floorboards or simply want to create a cottage bedroom illusion, the key is to work with the bare bones of the space you have. Look at the fixed features of the room and use those as your starting point to create a coherent scheme, where all the added design elements will work together.

1. Head to toe floral prints for walls and fabrics

‘If you want to use a floral why not use lots of it?' says Daniel Slowik, associate director, Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler . 'I’ve always been a great fan of rooms with matching floral fabric whether chintz, linen or cotton. Curtains, beds, upholstery, walls… there should be no limits! If you wanted to dilute the effect a touch subordinate designs could be in linen or a weave.' 

The walls in the cottage bedroom pictured above are covered with Colefax and Fowler's Greenacre design, with matching fabric for the bedding and armchair. 

'If you choose plain linens, then contrast piping will break up the form and add visual interest which can link back to the colors in the stronger design.’

2. Clever storage solutions for tricky spaces

Incorporating the right storage solutions can prove a challenge in small cottage bedrooms or in attic rooms with sloping ceilings. However, in smaller spaces it's even more important to keep things clutter free. 

In the top-floor bedroom above, designed by Louise Jones Interiors, a run of smart paneled cupboards have been built to fit the sloping roof. A false wall behind the bedhead hides additional walk-in clothes storage. 

3. Vintage accessories add character and a comforting sense of days gone by

If you're looking to create a vintage bedroom, then the space above and around the bedhead is a great place to create a mini gallery wall of vintage accessories and old family photographs. Add in a foxed glass antique mirror as a focal point and to help reflect light in a low-ceilinged room.

4. Toile de Jouy – the ultimate country look for walls and ceiling

(Image credit: Future/ Jody Stewart)

In a small cottage bedroom it can be very effective to emphasize rather than disguise the room's bijou proportions. Here, the toile de jouy wallcovering continues right onto the low ceiling, creating a cozy cocoon of a bedroom space. 

This room contains all the elements interior designer Miles Redd, from New York City-based Redd Kaihoi associates with cottage bedrooms.  

'Cozy, tucked up in the eaves of a roof, charming, comfortable – something in which Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle would feel comfortable,' he says. And his favourite color choices for cottage bedrooms? 'Always pale blues and greens, but I like the idea of toile and old-fashioned prints in many colors, which add to the charm.'

5. All under one roof – open plan cottage living

(Image credit: Claire Worthy)

When a cottage bedroom incorporates an ensuite bathroom idea , plus an open-plan living and kitchen space, it's more important than ever to keep furnishings simple and harmonious. 

Here, vintage window shutters have been repurposed as bathroom doors, and walls and linens are soft whites and pinks to increase the feeling of light and space.

6. Complementary checks, stripes and chintz 

(Image credit: Future /Jody Stewart)

If you can't choose between checks, stripes and chintz, well, choose all three. Just make sure the colors and prints complement each other well. 

Daniel Slowik, associate director of Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler agrees: 'Self patterned weaves, checks and stripes which have a geometric structure contrast well with the natural forms of floral patterns and can also be very effective. The balance of colors is crucial – warm with cool, strong with soft, light with dark. All are important to heighten the effect of the floral pattern.’

7. Pretty in pink for classic cottage style looks

When an antique bed has exquisite detailing, it's best to make that the star of the show and keep the other elements of the room fairly pared back. Kate Forman of Kate Forman Designs agrees. 

'The bed should make the big statement with plenty of layering of throws and cushions. Everything else should be kept very simple. If possible, keep original old floorboards on show with rugs rather than wall to wall carpets.' 

And when it comes to furniture for cottage bedrooms? 'Less is more. My preference would always be antique but simple and classic in style,' she adds. 

8. Cottage bedroom, but with a contemporary twist

(Image credit: Vanessa Arbuthnott)

And for cottage bedrooms where a more urban, contemporary look fits the bill – how about this zesty color combination? Including panelling ideas for walls instantly puts a modern twist on the space.  

Vanessa Arbuthnott says: 'Painted wooden panelling or walls and a bright white ceiling make the small space feel bigger; with accents of color introduced with throws and cushions. Paint the walls or panelling a dark blue or grey and use accents of brighter colours such as saffron yellow.'

Kate Forman also favors this more sophisticated look for the right space. 'I love bold deep wall color which isn’t always associated with cottages but it can give a cool contemporary feel. And choose hanging bedside lights rather than lamps, very select retro furniture and amazing art to complete this look.'

9. Panels offer an adaptable look

(Image credit: Sanderson)

Emily Battersby, stylist at Sanderson agrees that panelling is a look we're going to see more of in cottage bedrooms. Though the historic firm would argue for using both panelling and wallpaper in tandem. 

'Panelling and wallpaper are now very popular in cottage bedroom styles. Creating features on the walls, centralizing the furniture and making everything have a place in the room. These features add a strong contrast to the subtle use of fabrics. 

'Panelling and wallpapers are also very adaptable, and can be changed easily, whether you paint a different color on the paneling or change your wallpaper – you can always have the room feeling and looking the way that works for you.'

10. Choose Ikat prints and bold colors for a striking look

(Image credit: Kate Forman )

In this cottage bedroom under the eaves, an eclectic mix of boho and ikat prints, together with the sunny yellow walls, create a relaxed, comfortable look. It might not be what comes to mind when thinking of cottage style, but there's no denying the layering of earthy warm colors work together well in this scheme from Kate Forman Designs. 

Kate Forman says that 'warm colors and comfortable furniture' are the essence of bedroom cottage style.  

11. Simplicity is key

(Image credit: Douglas Gibb)

Simple furnishings combine to create a harmonious look with bright raspberry pink cushions from Amber Interiors in LA providing an accent color. A simple bed frame, natural sisal floorcovering, and vintage rug keep the look calm and unfussy. The elegant chair is from Soho Home .

12. Getting it right with white 

(Image credit: Vanessa Arbuthnott )

You can't go wrong with white walls and ceilings in a cottage bedroom. Vanessa Arbuthnott agrees, addding, 'If the room has wooden beams, consider painting them in with the ceiling, to give the room an airier and more spacious feeling.' 

'Nothing says cottage to me like classic florals and neutral walls,' she adds. 'Also simple small scale patterns, spots and dots and tickings all work wonderfully well in cottage rooms.'

The project takes into account all the wishes, features and means of the owners, as well as their personal vision of the finished premises. There are many features, let's consider everything in order.

Where will the bedroom be? If the house is large, then the bed can be larger than average. If there is not so much space, then planning a room on a grand scale is impractical and impractical. Ideally, the entire space is divided into equal zones. And the master bedroom should be a quarter larger than the guest room and children's room, but slightly smaller than the living area. Designers advise to place the bedroom on the sunny side. If the house is two-story, then it is better to equip the bedroom on the second floor. And the guest room - on the first. For older people, the location below will be more convenient, so it will be easier for them to move around, avoiding accidents.

Stylish bedroom

There are many individual preferences. At the planning stage, it is best to decide on the style direction of the house, and especially the sleeping space.

This style is quite common in the bedroom. Modern has been around for over 100 years. And, anyway, modernity absorbs many new trends every year, and it is precisely because of this that it remains at the peak of popularity. A soft palette of shades, natural colors characterize this style in the best possible way. Beige, milky, white, gray, brown, purple, smooth lines, often the image of the letter S. Subdued light and natural materials: stone, wood, glass. The most popular decoration of such a bedroom is stained glass: on lamps and sconces, walls, windows. The comfort of a home and modern trends are the motto of modernity.

Design: Jean-Louis Deniot

Light style of southern France, rustic simplicity in every detail will fit perfectly into the sleeping corner of a private house. A comfortable canopy double bed, floral prints, wooden furniture, an abundance of textiles and accessories: who among us would not want to take a break from the bustle of the city in such a cozy place? More light, street and artificial, light colors and lack of pretentiousness - this is what is truly appreciated in the Provencal bedroom. The picture of the bedroom is like a painted canvas, where pastel colors dominate: lavender, peach, pale green. Contrasts are not needed, but a combination of warm shades is welcome. High-quality hardwood floors, decorative stucco on the walls, decorated after finishing with photo frames and cute pictures, flood of light and large windows. Where, if not in a country house to embody such an idea?

Design: Oksana Korotkina, Prosperity Studio

Exquisite bedroom for connoisseurs of luxury - a classic bedroom on the second floor of a large private house. Sophisticated furniture with patterns, natural materials, an abundance of expensive paintings and luxury items are loved by many. A classic set of a huge bed, bedside tables, a pouffe - that's probably the whole set of furniture. Designers advise not to focus on one color, using smooth transitions, but it is better to avoid contrasts. Expensive wallpaper or wall paint, oak parquet or its high-quality imitation, a crystal chandelier and fabric lampshades - everyone will be pleased to plunge into the world of luxurious elements.

Simplified design in a strict style, nothing more, just a practical application of the interior - this is minimalism. The modern pace of life dictates its own rules and luxury often fades into the background. The whole interior is reduced to a comfortable bed, small bedside tables on the sides and a few lamps located on the walls. Such a bedroom is best equipped in a large, bright room with high ceilings and huge windows that offer panoramic views of the surroundings. Glass windows and doors to half the room are a good reception in this style. A decoration element is allowed that will breathe life and warmth into the space: an unusual flower in a pot. Universal colors: gray, black, white, which are intertwined. Everything should be combined and look harmonious.

Design: Alexander Kudimov and Daria Butakhina

Natural materials, balanced colors, laconic forms and lightness in everything - a bedroom in this style will be remembered for a long time. The basis of the bedroom in this style is the oriental philosophy of life and proximity to nature. The style lies in minimalism, but bright touches in the room are necessary. Wood is suitable for finishing the floor surface. For the walls - wallpaper in light colors with ethnic elements. You can also sheathe the walls with wooden panels. Shoji - a screen with which the sleeping area is zoned, is also very popular in the Japanese minimalism of the interior of the room.

Finishing

A large house has many possibilities for quality finishing. The bedroom is still a place to relax, so experts strongly recommend making it as light and spacious as possible. Natural materials are suitable for finishing the floor: parquet, laminate, wooden boards. High-quality wall finishes: plaster or wallpaper should be chosen from harmless materials. The ceiling is also best made light, in harmony with all surfaces and style.

Design: INTERЁR Architects

Color

Decorators keep repeating: a bedroom should be comfortable. Calm, warm or cold shades are suitable for design. Bright colors are more likely to negatively affect night sleep.

Recommendations from Timur Abdrakhmanov

Light

This room in a private house simply needs street light. It can be arranged at the expense of window frames. And to introduce artificial light, designers resort to chandeliers, floor lamps and sconces that will fit into any style of space.

Design: Julia Falkova

Furniture

Choosing a bed for a rest room is an important task. It should be comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and made from harmless materials. The storage closet is also important. It is better to order according to individual parameters and design. There is always a little space for bedside tables. In choosing it is worth paying attention to natural materials.

Different shapes of the bedroom

A room can be designed in different shapes. The owners for a country house most often allocate more space, but sometimes the square of the house does not allow you to furnish the bedroom as you like. For small rooms of irregular shape, a narrow bedroom, the style of minimalism is typical. The task here is not to clutter up the room with unnecessary things, but to correctly arrange the main furniture. Decorators recommend using different methods for correcting irregular shapes: multi-level ceilings, color play, room zoning.

Country house allows you to arrange the bedroom as you wish. Having designed the rooms in advance, the owners can choose the style, finishing materials and order furniture for specific space parameters. In the finished bedroom, after all the repair work, you can place accents by adding your own zest with the help of details and accessories. Rest, spend leisure time and enjoy a calm environment - this is the main purpose of a full-fledged sleeping space in a large private house.

The bedroom should be, above all, comfortable. See how to choose the right place for the bedroom in the house and equip it with quality so that the interior meets personal expectations. Interesting design options for modern bedrooms will help you decorate your living space.

Bedroom in a private house: where should the room be located?

Start from the cardinal points. The most neutral bedroom location is south, as the space will be bright and pleasant. The bedroom can also be on the west side. However, it should be remembered that in summer such a room will heat up during the day. East is a good solution for early risers only. In summer, the sun will shine brightly from the early hours. The worst possible solution is to choose a bedroom on the north side of the bedroom, as it will always be dark and rather gloomy, and it will certainly not help to get up early.

The most important thing for the bedroom is to ensure a comfortable sleep, to get out of bed rested, fresh, willing to act. If the room meets these conditions, then it should be in a quiet and sunny place.

Such a bedroom in the house should be spacious, equipped with a dressing room or a large closet. Access to a private bathroom is also important. Thanks to this, you will not run in the morning in search of a clean shirt or towel, you will not have to stand in line to brush your teeth.

Design of a bedroom in a private house away from the living room and kitchen

If you want the bedroom to be a place of real relaxation, then you should place it (if possible, of course) away from the living room, kitchen (these are places where there is usually noise , the TV is playing, you can hear the sound of pots and plates, dishwasher or hood) and a busy street.

The bedroom door should be without glass to better dampen sounds. If the room must face the street, it is worth investing in windows with increased sound insulation.

The design of a bedroom in a house is very important, especially if you don't know how to furnish this room. The design of the recreation area must be properly chosen for both spatial possibilities and taste.

Bedroom in a private house: photo of a small room

Bedroom furniture with a small area should be light and streamlined. Beware of bold jewelry or expressive colors. Mobility is important, so the design of a small bedroom in the house should be rich in retractable and folding furniture. The sleeping space should be separated so that it is not optically "lost" in a small interior.

Choose one eye-catching decorative element. The color of the walls should be light. You may be seduced by patterned wallpaper, which will give the bedroom a spacious effect and optically enlarge the ceiling.

Large bedrooms in a private house

Ideas for a modern bedroom are different, but the rule is the same - muted colors and minimalism. White color is perfect for a bedroom of any size, so compositions in this color will suit many. White is neutral, so it will harmonize well with other shades, regardless of their saturation. A bright bedroom looks best in the “total view” version, that is, it focuses on colors only in the white range, perhaps in different tones. You can choose walls, textiles, bedroom furniture and accessories in this color. Pay attention to the natural colors that are most popular today: beige, brown, gray.

Interior of a bedroom in a private house in the attic

How to arrange a bedroom in the attic? The rest room should be minimalistic and modern. Attic bedrooms look great when finished in light wood. Proper decoration means that the room will be not only beautiful, but also practical. If you're looking for more inspiration, check out our attic bedroom ideas photos.

Attic access to light is usually very limited, so attic bedrooms require lighting and bright colors. Unfortunately, a dark color can optically obscure a room. A modern attic bedroom is a choice worth considering.

Modern bedrooms in romantic private homes

Ideas for a romantic bedroom are very different. However, none of them work well with dark or intense colors as they will overwhelm the interior. Bedroom furniture and walls should be light and muted, such as beige or white. Perhaps you will be seduced by a subtle floral motif. Finish everything with a natural wood floor.

How to decorate the bedroom in this style? A romantic room even asks for appropriate decoration - floral arrangements, pillows, soft fabrics and lanterns. If you have space, be sure to install a fireplace. Curtains on the windows and a large number of candles are also suitable, as this design will add intimacy and lightness.

Large windows in the bedroom in private houses - "cold inspiration" or Scandinavian style

A white painted wooden bed would be an excellent option. If you want to give your Scandinavian bedroom a touch of modernity, you might be tempted by a white bed. Choose furniture made from natural materials - you should focus on alternating white with wood colors. Don't forget to choose accessories and fabrics made from natural materials. Large windows can be left open. Linen, cotton, wood, weaving, wool and rattan are magnificent in the decorative elements of the room. Scandinavian style loves naturalness.

Decorating a bedroom in a private house with a wardrobe

A spacious bedroom in a private house can have a full dressing room. When properly positioned, it will not lose its size. Instead of inserting a recessed closet, install a static partition with a separate entry for storage. A bet on gray tones, a soft bed with a headboard and a light floor will give the bedroom an interesting touch.

Modern bedrooms with a minimalist note

A modern bedroom is first and foremost a bed. Design inspirations are different, but each follows the same principle - do not clutter up the space of the room. You may be seduced by innovative lamps.

The color gallery is based on deep grays, browns and whites - darker colors will give the room elegance and mystery, but decorating the bedroom with such colors can be depressing.
