From cliff-top hideaways to eclectic beach houses, these cottages will have you dreaming of summer. Designed by notable architects and interior designers such as Philip Mitchell, Michael Angus, Alyson Wood and Gordon Ridgely, these cottages feature classic cedar shingles and granite landscaping, rustic wood details and warm, whitewashed interiors with large windows and country beams. Smart design, pine, wicker and rattan furniture and pretty fabrics and accents make them inviting, relaxing and livable, too. Even if you don't have a cottage of your own, you'll be inspired to incorporate woodsy elements, vintage finds and traditional furniture into your space.
