What Houzz contributors are saying:

Get into the tongue-and-grooveThere are few décor touches that instantly conjure up a cottage vibe than painted tongue-and-groove panelling. It’ll really up the cute factor in a bedroom, especially when paired with soft vintage-style florals and well chosen antique details, such as the lamp and pastel green-painted shelf seen here.Go for full wall height, as in this sweet sleep space, or halfway up, and top with a dado rail. White paint will keep the space feeling airy, however small. Choose a satin finish for a soft sheen and light-bouncing properties or, if you prefer a matt look, go for eggshell, which will do the job but still wipe clean.

Pair with pastel tonesSoften white without altering the mood of a pale scheme by teaming it with chalky pastels. They have just enough colour to add interest to the bedroom, but remain subtle. Try vintage florals for a cosy cottage feel.
