How to Decorate Your Cottage<\/h1>\n

It\u2019s August and that means plenty of summer days spent at the cottage. But take a look around: Are your surroundings suggesting \u2018memories of 1985?\u2019<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get us wrong, we love the cozy vibe of an old-school cottage, but if your den is still sporting a floral or mallard-themed border, it might be time for a makeover.<\/p>\n

Here are some quick and easy tips to take your cottage from shabby to chic.<\/p>\n

Cottage Decor Tip #1: Away With Wallpaper<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re cottaging with terrible wallpaper and you\u2019re ready for a change, you have two options: Remove it or paint over it.<\/p>\n

As d\u00e9cor experts, painting over wallpaper is often a last resort option. We usually suggest stripping the old paper, patching and prepping the walls and starting anew. But it\u2019s not a quick (or easy) option in this scorching summer heat. Also, depending on the condition of your walls, it could be disastrous, especially if you don\u2019t have wallpaper-stripping experience.<\/p>\n

Finally, stripping your cottage walls takes time and cottages are more about hanging on the dock rather than manual labour.<\/p>\n
