White Done Right: Country Cottage Style

To create interest and balance, don't skimp on texture. Cover a sofa, chaise and ottoman in different tactile fabrics. Perhaps a white wool rug layered on weathered floors with linen chairs, a brocade ottoman, and a careworn cotton skirted table. Accessorize with still more texture like porcelain and flowers. For country cottage, limit the amount of exposed wood by covering it in fabric. Country screams cozy with eyelet lace, quilts and overstuffed cushions.
