Cottage Terrace Design Ideas
A cottage terrace combines the romantic English countryside charm with flowers spilling over every edge with a space designed for homeowners with elevated outdoor spaces.
A terrace typically features level changes, railings, container plants, outdoor dining. Work with elevation changes and ensure drainage while maximizing views. When designed in the cottage style, these elements get elevated with soft pastels, whites, lavender, rose pink, leaf green and materials like weathered brick, picket fences, aged stone, arbors, clay pots.
