6 Tips for Adding French Style to your Cottage - Sally Lee by the Sea

If you love the charm and coziness of a cottage-style home, then you'll want to add a touch of French style to your space. At Sally Lee by the Sea, we have a beautiful collection of cottage style wallpapers that will bring the warmth and elegance of French decor to any room. Here are 6 tips to help you achieve the perfect French cottage look:

1. Choose a Neutral Color Palette

Start by selecting a neutral color palette for your walls. Soft whites, creams, and light greys are perfect for creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. These colors also serve as a great backdrop for adding pops of color through furniture and decor.

2. Incorporate Toile Patterns

Toile patterns are a hallmark of French country style. Look for wallpapers with classic toile designs featuring pastoral scenes, florals, or toile de Jouy motifs. These patterns will add a touch of elegance and whimsy to your cottage decor.

3. Add Wainscoting or Beadboard

Wainscoting and beadboard are traditional French elements that will add texture and depth to your walls. Install them in your entryway, dining room, or bedroom for a charming cottage feel.

4. Mix and Match Fabrics

French cottage style is all about mixing and matching different fabrics. Combine floral prints, stripes, and checks to create a cozy and eclectic look. You can also use fabrics to add texture, such as a linen throw or a plush velvet pillow.

5. Incorporate Vintage Pieces

To truly capture the French cottage look, add a few vintage pieces to your space. Look for weathered wood furniture, distressed mirrors, and antique accessories. These pieces will add character and charm to your home.

6. Don't Forget the Details
