Atlanta Apartments

If you wish to deviate from the conventional home décor and instead give a unique and distinct touch to your Atlanta apartment, go in for a cozy yet urban cottage look. Listed below are few simple and effective ways of achieving the urban, cottage look and feel for your house.

1. To create that airy and spacious illusion in your confined Atlanta apartment that we very often associate with country-side cottages begin by decluttering all unnecessary items. This will not only make for a more organized but also a more comfortable and functional living space.

2. You can enhance the limited storage capacity of your Atlanta apartment by using pretty cottage style containers and picnic baskets to keep the remaining stuff in a systematic manner. These can be used for numerous purposes, not only in your living or bedroom but also the kitchen and bathroom. Antique suitcases also do the trick, adding to the cottage appeal of your Atlanta apartment.

3. To give that roomy and warm feeling of a cottage, use white paint or a shade of off-white color for your walls. You can also opt for a deep shade of vibrant colors that will appropriately offset your wall hangings and photo frames. Follow a similar color palette for the flooring also, as this will not only make the space appear larger, but also helps to show off your country-style furniture and other accessories at one glance.

4. Create cohesive and consistent look by using upholstery in white or off-white fabrics. You can also use a fabric in one single solid color of your choice. But remember to use the same fabric and color for al your upholstery needs. Doing so will enable you to keep changing your furniture arrangements not only from room to room but also when you relocate.

5. Floral prints, patterns and designs are the quintessence of cottage decor. Linens, pillows, duvet covers and quilts in floral embroidery will lend that cottage look immediately to your bedroom décor. For the bathroom, use pretty shower curtains in lace or chenille. You can also incorporate some fresh laced towels or even plain white ones will do. A floral tissue box will complete the look and feel.

6. Drape your kitchen, living and bedroom windows in sheer white fabrics for that airy, summer cottage look. But if you wan to add extra zing and color, use floral curtains to complement rest of the décor.

7. Plant lots of colorful plants around the house to achieve the county side green look. You can use wicker baskets, cottage style containers or even old watering cans to deliver the cottage effect. To accomplish the perfect cottage look, especially for your kitchens, use window boxes filled with flowers on the windows sills.

8. Create a masterpiece for your wall by hanging a collection of identically framed panoramic cottage country cards and photos.

9. Use an old wooden farm table as a dining table or even a set of round wrought iron table and chairs will complement the look and serve the purpose well. You can add to the rustic look but incorporating placemats, napkins and cutlery in floral or even plain white china will suffice. Place a huge urn of flowers as a centerpiece for the table. Picnic baskets in the dining area will give the appropriate finishing touches.
