Decorate the Cottage So you have a lot to the pavilion, but it takes a little work. Or perhaps you like being in your holiday home, but want your permanent home could have the same atmosphere. Anyway, here are some tips to enhance your site to look and feel more like a flag.
Tones: Plan the colors that give a sensation of heat, such as creams, whites, pale blue or pale green. Try to stay away from the bolder blues, oranges and reds, as they are "busy" colors and remove from the atmosphere you are trying to promote.
Layout: The furniture should be comfortable and pleasant, and also to convey the type of room you wish to return after a day on the slopes. Big upholstered chairs, ottomans, pillows, and an Afghan or two draped over the sofa. The furniture does not even have to match perfectly, just enough in common that all the pieces in. natural wood furniture can also make a beautiful accent as a pine coffee table or bookshelf. Use pieces you will not mind if someone puts his feet on the table, it must reflect the comfort, not perfection.
In the light room for large wooden beds and big puffy down blankets to keep you warm. Add a faux fur throw rug beside the bed and you're ready to go.
Accessories: Less is more, keep accessories to a minimum by adding family photos or candles ski parts thereof. Try to use natural materials such as pottery, wood, stone or rustic dishes for extra warmth. Earthenware bowls and sculptures in wood and mirrors with wooden frame shaped well. For a touch of color, try a bouquet of flowers or a bowl of apples, strawberries or multicolored peppers. Place a large basket on the floor and stuff it with magazines. Place a small wine rack on buffet with glasses on hand, ready to be used.
Lighting: Lighting should be soothing and subtle. track lighting, strategically placed in the room and a couple of table lamps large work well.
Once completed, it should be a home that makes you want to retreat in front of the fireplace with hot chocolate and your guests will not hesitate to put their feet on the coffee table. Maybe you'll even feel that you brought home chalet weekend for some time.
