The bedroom is a staple part of one's home. It is where we sleep and do things in comfort and privacy. It is also what most people would call "their own room" and decorate it to their own liking. If you're also looking for a comfortable and relaxing place with the feel of the countryside then you may want to go with the country cottage style look.

The country style look is always rustic so warm so natural colors should be used. White would go well as well as green, blue, and red. This should not only on the walls and curtains but also on fine country furniture and accessories, like bed covers and pillows.

The bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom just by going with the name of the room itself. Going with the country cottage style theme, rustic beds should be at the top of your list of furniture. Aspen beds are good choice as are log beds. Look for a design that would match with the other bedroom furniture. Like the sofa, beds would be staying with you for a long time and you'll have a really close relationship with it.

What exactly do you look for when choosing a bed? First is style as mentioned above. Especially if you stay in your bedroom often, you should pick a style and design that you like and won't get tired off even after a while. Sure, you can change the bed covers ever so often but the overall look of the country style bed would still matter a lot.

Speaking of bed covers, go with quilt bedding as those would really give off that nice country feel. Since the 1890s, quilts have become very popular in country homes and design contests for country beeding have been hosted in various fairs, such as the World's Fair. Another accessory for the bed would be the pillow. It is best to go for pillow covers that match the design of the bed cover or the quilt bedding.

Room size would greatly affect the type of bed you will purchase. Consider the number of people who would use it. If you sleep alone then go for a single bed especially if the room space isn't that great to begin with. If someone's going to share it with you or if you have a lot of extra space in the room then it is best to get a larger one. A good tip to give for beds would be to get a bed without the back to make the room look a bit larger.

Other furniture to consider would be desks, dressers, chests, and other storage furniture. It is best to get styles and designs that match with the bed and the overall color of the room. The good thing about country cottage style decoration is you don't have to struggle for perfection. Unlike other decorating styles, a scratch here and there doesn't matter and would actually add a bit more personality to your bedroom.

My final advice would be to plan ahead. A lot of us like to include as many of our ideas into our bedroom but only include the necessary things. Try to draw where you would like to include the objects then decide whether it would please you or not. If not but you really want something to be included then try to play with the design a bit and see if there are other options.
