Colorful Cottage Decor

This cottage is all about two things--decorating with bold strokes of color and creating a casual, feet-up feel. Look no further than the flower-clad family room to see an array of cheerful colors woven into a design that is both playful and inviting. 

Designer tip: To make saturated hues work, repeat the main color throughout the room, as seen in the girl's bedroom--pool blue on everything from the walls to the bedding to the rug. White wicker pieces throughout the cottage lend a vintage vibe, while natural touches (bamboo shades, jute rugs, and wooden dining room furniture) tone down the overall feminine feel. Attention-getting light fixtures and lamps maintain the quirky character.
