Cottage decor is all about comfort and flexibility. If you’re a fan, bringing the cottage home is simpler than you might think. Below, we’ve rounded up some fresh and creative cottage patio ideas to help inspire your own.
There are few ridged rules or norms when it comes to cottage style because, historically, cottages are a place where you can kick back and relax. It seems only appropriate that cottage décor reflects that laid back attitude—as well as the distinct personalities of those who inhabit the space.

Bring cottage style into your outdoor space with these ten ideas.
