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 

(Image credit: Colefax and Fowler)

‘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

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

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.'

21 rustic bedroom interior - photos and descriptions

Surely, many will agree that the bedroom is one of the important rooms in the house. After all, it is here that you meet a new day, and also see off the outgoing one. In this room you relax, indulge in laziness and bliss, dream, make plans for the future. Therefore, its design should be approached especially seriously and carefully.

Today, architects offer a huge number of bedroom design options, and choosing the most acceptable and spectacular one is not difficult. But if you are bored with modern interiors, where everything is ordered and a bit picturesque, and you want something extraordinary, original, this topic will help you with this.

Below you can see and appreciate 21 delightful rustic room design ideas that, along with comfort, fill the room with coziness, a sense of security and stability, as well as closeness to nature, which is especially lacking for residents of megacities.

It should also be noted that the considered options will look especially good in country houses, mountain chalets, rooms equipped in the attic space, and will certainly help to find the answer to the question of how to make the bedroom cozy.

Interiors that give warmth and comfort on long winter evenings

As you probably already know, country style is distinguished by the use of natural materials such as wood, stone, cotton, linen, the use of natural colors and simple, sometimes even somewhat rough configurations.

But therein lies the special charm of this design. In such rooms, an atmosphere of friendliness always reigns, and time seems to freeze in them, allowing you to gain strength, escape from all problems and get undoubted pleasure from being in them.

Dan Joseph Architects is a prime example of this. As you can see, the authors not only did not mask the massive beams, but deliberately focused on them with the help of untreated surfaces of walls and furniture, as well as the original racks of the amazing canopy.

Bouquets with sunflowers look very touching in this wooden space, resembling rays of the sun that managed to break through the density of crowns and trunks. And as a detail that enlivens the interior and adds homely warmth to it, the designers chose a woolen carpet with a geometric pattern that is quite bright and suitable for many styles of bedroom design. And doesn’t this option remind you of the house of a forest fairy or an elf?

It should be noted that this luxurious Headwaters Camp Cabin villa was not only the epitome of high craftsmanship, but also a convincing proof of the possibility of obtaining an energy efficient building without the use of additional materials.

By the way, it is located in one of the most beautiful places in Montana, Big Sky Ski Resort. And this project managed to get the title of "Most Responsible" residence of the year.

Look how noble a rustic bedroom can look. The light and cozy room, decorated in creamy brown colors, attracts the eye with its elegance and naturalness. Everything here is also made of natural materials, but with the use of elegant forms.

This bedroom has a lot of amazing details that photographer Audrey Hall managed to capture. This is an original author's table, on which a lamp rises on a beautiful support, and an equally attractive stool made from a tree trunk, and a fluffy fur carpet and a plaid, and the figures of horses in the picture and the tabletop, rushing towards each other.

It is also impossible not to notice how subtly the designers managed to link each item, creating a complete and integral image, in which momentum and infinity are intertwined.

Rustic sophistication and charm

Reid Smith Architects & Teton Heritage Builders offer equally interesting bedroom design ideas. For example, their design of the rooms at the Lower Foxtail Residence, which can be seen in the portfolio of LC2 Design Services, is the epitome of a powerful union of fashion trends and calm country style.

This is clearly expressed through striking organic details such as the watercolor pattern on the carpet and painting, the luxurious combination of cool and warm shades, well-finished wood paneling and stone cladding with amazing texture, as well as individual pieces of furniture, among which you can notice modern configurations, and deliberately rough, but not devoid of attractiveness designer hand-made forms.

Did you know that even an ordinary room with white walls and ceilings and unremarkable furniture can be easily decorated in a hospitable rustic style? Comfort and attractiveness in this case are created with the help of expressive details typical for such interiors.

See how this is brought to life in the Mill Valley Mansion's modern bedroom interior, designed by Artistic Designs for Living. Fluffy pillows and original suede throw give the bed an attractive, untouched look.

The walls of this small room are lavishly decorated with paintings, the main theme of which is, of course, landscapes. No less impressive is the original chandelier in the form of branched horns, which illuminates this cozy space from above in the evening, and Roman blinds, chosen to match the main elements.

The work of designer Luis Jauregui, who created a bedroom for children, looks very delightful. Apparently, this is why the neutral palette is diluted with bright coral, blue, yellow shades, which gives the interior playfulness and lightness.

There are also a lot of original details in the room, such as the signed chest of drawers that make it easy for the child to find the right items, educational paintings on the walls and a huge closet framing the window, which will be filled with different things as the owner grows up: first with toys, then with textbooks, educational games, favorite books.

Modern rustic style

As a staple of the country, wood is very popular both as a base material for furniture and as a natural finish. With it, you can completely veneer the internal structures in the room, and this option can often be found in many country mansions or country houses.

To prevent the room from looking too monotonous, you can try to vary the shades (as you know, each breed has its own color and texture), as well as replace some of the linear configurations with more spectacular ones.

It should be noted that a modern rustic bedroom design can be greatly enriched with built-in furniture in the same beautiful wood as used for decoration, for example, in the house project in Amenia, New York, from Allan shop.

Do you want to surprise your guests not only with a warm welcome, but also with individuality? Decorate their room in an original way, but no less luxurious than the rest of the rooms in the house.

Designers from Peace Design have proposed a rather interesting option that allows you to plunge into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. This similarity was ensured not only by the plank ceiling and furniture, but also by a massive metal chandelier of vintage configuration, suspended in the center of the bedroom.

Enhances the effect of antiquity carved armchair of amazing beauty and decor in the form of horns over the head of the bed. And natural shades and fresh flowers fill the space with peace and tranquility.

In the archive of works by the same company (Peace Design) there is an even more amazing project, which can be called royally luxurious. Delightful dark wood designs, leather upholstery sofas, silk curtains and bedding emphasize the comfort of natural materials and reflect the romantic side of the design. In such a room, which inspires confidence and a sense of security, you can not only have a good rest from everyday affairs, but also get a lot of unforgettable impressions.

Harmonious combination of velveteen details and rustic elements

As you probably already noticed, country is a sure option when you want to create an “antique” interior, the demand for which is gradually increasing. Of course, a bedroom in a modern style is elegant, comfortable and cozy, but how can it compare with the charm of emphatically rough beams, the romance and luxury of lush canopies, amazing carved furniture, amazing bronze chandeliers on long suspensions?

See how colorful the room looks, presented in the photo of Audrey Hall, who managed to capture not only all the interesting details, but also convey a special lush atmosphere created by the skillful hands of the architects and enhanced by chic blue velvet accents. Its noble hue casts silver under the influence of sunlight and is filled with depth and mystery in the light of lamps or candles.

If you're a fan of this style, you'll love the Lower Foxtail Residence bedroom design by Teton Heritage Builders. You can see how gracefully the architects have adapted the combination of wood and rough stone to the requirements of modern design, creating a highly comfortable and delightful space.

Simplicity and recycled wood for luxury bedrooms

Reclaimed Space's La Arboleda mansion bedroom design sets itself apart from the rest by using recycled materials to create a rustic feel.

Exquisite wall and ceiling finishes made from boards from old crates, sheds and even demolished houses. The architects not only gave strong wood a second life, but also offered a fairly economical and efficient option for interior design.

In addition, they decided not to burden the space with unnecessary objects and complex shapes, as a result of which an updated minimalist version of country music appeared.

Rustic color accents

A beautiful bedroom interior doesn't have to be boring and monotonous. And this can be achieved by carefully adding bright colors to the space (we must not forget about moderation, otherwise you can get a ridiculous and tastelessly decorated room from an elegant room).

It must be said right away that there are no restrictions on the choice of desired shades: even the most daring colors can look harmoniously with wooden and stone structures.

For example, the site Cavender Diary presented a project for a luxurious room in a rustic style. The interior was rich in details and was complemented by chic black and red accents in the form of a bedspread, carpet and pillows.

Country-style bedroom for a luxury chalet

As noted above, this style is great for decorating a chalet. And is it really possible to imagine a house built or finished with the use of plastic and other modern materials based on hydrocarbon compounds, among the majestic and beautiful mountains?

The delightful ski chalet Chalet le Petit Chateau in Courchevel is an example of the harmonious interaction of architectural forms with the environment. Its beige and white interiors are a continuation of the picturesque snow-capped peaks, while the light aroma and the unique pattern of light wood provide tired owners with the cosiness and tranquility they need.

As you can see, the designers have added blue and blue accents to the rooms, which probably symbolize the deep sky or crystal clear and even ringing air.

And now you are invited to see the luxury bedroom version of the Swiss chalet Chalet Zermatt Peak. What distinguishes it from previous projects is the richness of textures and materials used, stunning panoramic glazing and a sense of superiority and success radiated by almost every object.

Delightful simplicity

Luxurious interiors do not have to be full of spectacular and noticeable details. After all, true beauty is usually not catchy. An example of this is the beautiful design of the bedroom in Chalet Maria, located in Courchevel.

At first glance, this room is unremarkable: plenty of wood, comfortable furniture, natural fabrics. But take a closer look. The wardrobe and shelves at the head of the bed can be called a masterpiece of carpentry art. Carved doors, intricate arches have become a delicate decoration of the room. Aren't three types of pillowcases a cause for admiration?

Rustic elements for modern bedrooms

You can keep the splendor of the country in a modern interior. In this case, in the design of the room, it will be possible to note the features of both directions, the symbiosis of which, as a rule, gives amazing results, forcing you to take a fresh look at the possibilities of design.

Luxurious layouts, clear lines, modern furniture will be favorably emphasized against the background of wooden walls and ceilings, adding to the charm of natural beauty and home comfort.

Take a look at the stunning bedroom at Chalet Grande Cerf, where modern minimalism and rustic style merge into a harmonious whole. The indisputable advantage of this design is the possibility of modifying it: repainting the designs, you will get a charming Provence, cladding with glossy panels, you can aim at high-tech.

Country for non-standard children's rooms

It is generally accepted that a children's room should be spacious, bright and contain a rich color scheme. In every little individual there is a strong spirit of a tireless explorer, dreamer and visionary.

Remember that period when you were little. Surely, you built a kind of huts under the dining table, loved to climb trees and attics. So why not try to embody such ideas in the design of the nursery? And the same country will help in this.

A similar project was realized under the roof of the restored old chalet Chalet Bibendum. Wooden structures, exposed beams, a glass end and skylights create a unique atmosphere of adventure.

Luxurious views from above, adorable décor with mottled calf pillows and plush bedspreads will delight your children. And it is unlikely that in the next few years they will want to part with this uncomplicated, but nice room.

Design Associates Interiors' next beautiful contemporary bedroom invites you into a fairy forest. Fascinating details in the form of original legs and headboards made of birch trunks and branches, a stunning wall resembling a thick thicket and softly illuminated by a charming lamp, have formed the image of a cozy house for forest dwellers, whose role, of course, will be played by small family members. At the same time, the room did not lose its functionality and did not look frivolous.

The nursery designed by Metropole Architects for the SGNW House winter residence in South Africa is also delightful. Of course, this ethnic style cannot be called exclusively rustic, but we can say that this is its adapted version for the proposed conditions.

Every detail in this room attracts attention. First of all, the wall lined with saw cuts of trees and which has become an undoubted decoration of the house admires. It is impossible not to note the luxurious palette in the design: various shades of blue are present on the walls, and in the patterned carpet, and the colors of the striped pillows, and amazing gradient-colored blankets; appetizing peach light spills over the ceiling in the evening, while beige-brown hues act as the main backdrop for this splendor.

The review is completed by a room equipped under the attic of the Chalet Cyanella in Megeve (French Alps) and designed for four children. In addition to the undeniable advantages of rustic style, here you can get new ideas on how to decorate the interior in the bedroom.

In particular, it is worth noting the competent use of space: despite the inconvenient variable height of the floor, the designers managed to design the furniture in such a way that it began to repeat the slope with its configurations.

See how the bunk bed transitions seamlessly into regular sleeping quarters. And even the beams, which usually create additional difficulties for the design, have been used, they have become the basis for fixing lamps. The authors of this amazing room are architects from Bo Design, who tried to find a compromise between ease and luxury of modern life.

Rustic style bedroom for maximum comfort

The bedroom has a specific practical purpose. This is a room in which you need to create conditions for a quality pleasant stay. Full coziness, comfort will allow you to relax, disconnect from everyday worries, recuperate. Modern trends, such as minimalism, hi-tech, have certain advantages.
