Small cottage bedroom ideas to inspire your next home makeover: set within a 17th-century Cotswold cottage, this bedroom, layered with textiles, pattern and just the right amount of fringing, is full of warmth and character. A lack of storage and little room to manoeuvre can present some serious issues, but there plenty of small cottage bedroom ideas that can help you to successfully negotiate these challenges and create a room that is as charming as it is practical. When it comes to decorating small cottage bedrooms, it is natural – and often very appropriate – to gravitate towards antique furniture, classic fabrics (like florals and checks) and soft, traditional, paint colours.
