Envision stepping into a snug sanctuary, a warm and inviting embrace where every little thing tells a tale. Tiny cottage homes capture the appeal and simplicity that many of us desire, and I am excited to present some inspirational concepts with you.
Blend Outdoor Cladding
Blending various outdoor cladding, like timber and boards, can introduce dimension and feel. I once worked on a cottage that integrated cedar boards with decorated timber features, producing a visually enticing outdoor aesthetic.

Use Ornamental Border
Ornamental border around windows and doors can add a hint of style and charm. In a design I completed, I used elaborate moldings to frame large windows, creating a cottage that felt both grand and inviting.

Experiment with Vibrant Covers
Vibrant covers can add a playful touch to the cottage outdoor aesthetic. In a recent design, we chose a bold teal, which stood out beautifully against the neutral cladding.

Useful items to consider:

- Outdoor Stone Preserver: Shield your stone front with a resilient preserver to amplify and protect its inherent appeal.

Design with Balance in Mind
While asymmetry has its charm, a symmetrically balanced facade can be incredibly appealing. I often align windows and doors to create a harmonious exterior that’s pleasing to the eye.
Some ideas to consider:
- Balanced Outdoor Wall Lights: Enhance your cottage’s charm with balanced lighting. Add classic wall lights to each side of the door.
- Ornamental Window Covers: Elevate your facade’s aesthetic by adding matching covers to your windows. Achieve ageless cottage style.
