38 BEAUTIFUL LAKE HOUSE DECORATING IDEAS
There’s something so nostalgic about lake houses—memories of hot summers spent by the lake, autumn getaways to see the rich fall foliage. Lake houses are the de facto settings for big family gatherings, girlfriend getaways, and celebratory weekends.
So shouldn’t a lake house be a place that draws people in, wraps them up, and invites them to stay a while? Over the years we’ve seen a variety of lake house décor—some is stunning, some is serene, some functional, and some opulent. But no matter your style (or need) we’ve gathered more than a few tips and ideas for lake house decorating.
Whether you want a fresh and sophisticated update, need to brighten up old ceilings, or want to create a rustic oasis, these lake house decorating ideas will help expertly blend the beauty of nature all around. Capture the cozy feel of lakefront living in any locale: Designer Thom Filicia invites us into his newly renovated retreat.
One of the most charming aspects of cottage living is its natural, simplistic and bare-boned style. Rather than cover the small guesthouse walls in artwork, designer Sarah Richardson wanted to showcase the architectural beauty of the salvaged pine boards on their own. The little imperfections and discolorations of the boards create an earthy, distressed look that provides the perfect backdrop to the crisp, white headboard and nightstand.
A mix of oyster shell, taupe and gray make for the perfect color palette for cottage-style living. When combined, these hues are fresh, natural and beautifully vibrant. Designer Brooke Giannetti added wood-beamed vaulted ceilings to further expand her already spacious master bedroom retreat. By sweeping a soft, white coat of paint across the walls and ceilings, the room appears open and refreshed.
One of the key elements to cottage-style decor is distressed and weathered furnishings. Although scouring flea markets, yard sales, thrift stores, estate sales and auctions to find a stunning piece of furniture for an amazing price may be exciting, don’t look over a piece you may already have right in front of you.
