Cottage Style Home Decorating: 8 Tips to Husband-Friendly Cottage Style
Cottage style is about a lifestyle to be welcomed home for you and your family and your friends are too lazy. So even if you have a football player husband, three sons and two dogs that may conflict with some compromise and ingenuity, you still have a comfortable cottage-style house that fits the whole family. I'm living proof, because my husband and I personally have coexisted happily with this kind for years.
8 Tips to Husband-Friendly CottageStyle:
1. Forget Foo Foo. While you can load from a pink and white flowers with ruffled castle dream, your husband probably not. Compensation by minimizing flounces and frills.
2. Color Cozy. Choose three colors for your institution, the favorite for you and your significant other and that look attractive together. You can vary the intensity of the colors if necessary.
3. Neutral furnishings. Consider Solid ColorReference materials such as beige or cream. You can paint, add pattern and texture by pillows and throws on the furniture. These items are not expensive and can easily be updated when you do not want more of them, or with the change of seasons.
4. Love Seat Leather & Love. What one does not love a leather recliner and what does not hate women? Compromise, giving him his leather chair in his own, while your own cozy loveseat in the bedroom or you will getFavorite chair in a quiet corner.
5. Big Screen Savvy. The big screen TV is not the center of the living room. Perhaps they can be moved into his cave. If she wants the whole family in the family room, put it in an attractive cabinet so that the doors closed when not in use.
6. Happy Us. Create a "Happy Us" wall in your bedroom collage of two of your favorite art, family photos, framed memorabilia, photos and travelwith happy scenes of the two of you together. Use a dimmer for the lights to create a romantic atmosphere. A vase of fresh flowers add a colorful touch of nature. If he florals mermaids, green just put in a vase.
7. Cottage Collections. Collections and cottage style go hand in hand. Show your teapot collection in a beautiful curio cabinet in the living room and his arrowheads in shadow boxes presented in his cave.
8. Let There Be Light. Ifhubby too dark wood furniture and have attracted white painted that combine both artistically. Select either light or dark, as the dominant to stop, and then add accent pieces to the other end. If you insist to keep offering white furniture to clean the lines. If he insists on dark furniture, select curved lines for the legs such as Queen Anne-style or French.
With some good communication, resourcefulness and love of compromise, you can both love and enjoy life to createMemories in your cozy cottage style home.
