4. Layered Textiles for Warmth

Textiles bring softness and warmth into the living room. Layering is key in cottage interiors, as it creates comfort and visual depth.

Start with a cosy rug underfoot, then add throws over the back of sofas and armchairs. Quilts, knitted blankets, or even faux fur throws make the room feel inviting. Cushions in various sizes and patterns contribute to the layered look.

Do not be afraid to mix prints. A floral cushion paired with a gingham throw or a striped blanket creates the charmingly eclectic style that cottages are known for.
