Design Shuffle ~ Guest Post…

Hi all! It's Mari from Design Shuffle, a social networking site for interior designers and design enthusiasts to upload their work and receive lots of exposure. With thousands of photos to look through each day, this website is your one stop shop for decorating ideas! As a writer for Design Shuffle, I get to visit design and decorating blogs like Fishtail Cottage to share some of my favorite rooms.

Today's guest post is all about adding garden touches to cottage bedrooms. Cottage style rooms are cozy and appealing, but add flowers and garden elements and they become irresistible. With so many beautiful cottage bedrooms out there, it's hard to choose just eight, but here are choices. Enjoy!

This slightly formal cottage bedroom takes on a garden feel with lovely pink and green flowers strewn across the bed and at the window. It's easy to bring a garden touch to any room with a vase or two of fresh flowers. Here a small bouquet adds more garden style on the bedside table.

A lovely drape of floral fabric is lined with brilliant rosy red to form this simple canopy. A Chinese garden stool and framed painting add more garden touches to this cottage bedroom.

 

Pretty in pink garden-inspired fabrics and wallpaper, this cottage bedroom takes on even more appealing cottage style with a French garden chair.

Not all coastal decorating ideas focus of seashells and drift wood. In the attic of a seaside cottage, this pretty bedroom space shows that garden touches find their place and look lovely even at the beach.

Sunny florals surround the bed in this inviting cottage bedroom. More garden touches are seen in a quilt, art and fresh flowers. What a lovely place to enjoy breakfast in bed on lazy weekend mornings!

Utterly appealing, this bedroom is filled with French garden style. We love the metal bed and tiered table. The vintage birdhouse and wooden architectural elements are also welcome garden additions.

A more contemporary take on a cottage bedroom design, the oversize flowers and bright colors make for an irresistible combination. Top that off with two bouquets fresh from the garden and it's an updated cottage style that we think is here to stay.

This is a lovely example of the many choices of scale when adding garden touches to a cottage bedroom. These quilts and pillows go from tiny pink rose to a matching mid-range pattern to beautiful large-scale florals in a bouquet of yummy colors. Choices! Choices! Choices!
