a little about...
Contemporary Cottage
Comfortable. Humble. Inviting.
Contemporary
Clean lines, wide open spaces, and simple color palettes. Contemporary style is minimalistic, but not necessarily cold. Instead of rooms full of décor and accessories, the focus is on line and form. Beauty is in simplicity and every piece counts for something.
Cottage
Cottage style encompasses the soft warm embrace of a cozy sofa and a warm cup of tea. Embracing cottage style means seeking an outcome that is humble yet refined. Color palettes contain lots of warm whites and neutrals, plus plenty of natural wood elements.

Want a Contemporary Cottage Look in Your Short Term Rental??
Easy Action Items:
- Keep your color palette simple. Stick with whites, neutrals, and some black to ground your space, with just one or two accent colors used throughout.
- Spend time selecting art. Because the decor and colors are minimal in a contemporary space, art becomes forefront. Find something unique and playful to spice things up!
- Keep Comfort in Mind. Cottages are inherently cozy places. Make sure to select furniture that will feel comfortable, and add throws and comfy pillows to soften up a minimal design.
