Cottage Style Color

Happy Spring!

One of the current decor looks I love is cottage. Although the wealthy of New York referred to their luxurious vacation homes outside of town as cottages, the dictionary definition of cottage is “a small house.” The English cottage is the definitive home that has defined this style.

The color can extend to the whole spectrum, but in particular, uses red, blue and green. The style combines wood beams and stone fireplaces, wicker, a plethora of fabric prints, soft upholstery, books, artwork, and collections for a cluttered lived-in look.

Above are some photos of English cottage decor. See below for Benjamin Moore colors I’ve compiled to use for a cottage look.
