Don’t have a cottage? Doesn’t matter! You can spruce up your city home to give it the summer cottage feel.

1. Paint Colours- Best thing to acheive this feel is to use outdoor like colours. Lakeside blues, sunshiney yellows, leafy greens and plenty of white! A white backdrop will always give a home that fresh, airy and bright feel.

2. Finishes- Butcher block, man-made surfacing that looks like stone or anything natural looking will really do a great job at bringing the outdoors inside.

3. Texture- Woven wicker blinds, sea grass rugs, raw wood or really anything that looks beat up are great textures to really bring out that country feel in your space.

I hope these tips give all of you some great ideas to get your home looking and feeling great this summer!
