We are Maine Cottage - since 1988
Maine Cottage is the authentic home to spirited fine furnishings - proudly made in the USA. We've been delighting customers for over 20 years with the excellence of our products and world-class service.

We're in the business of providing one-stop "permanent" whole home furnishing solutions. That is, we offer a comprehensive offering of furniture and accessories in a well-integrated aesthetic that is built to last a lifetime. Our furniture is made and custom-finished to order here in the USA. You may pay a bit more, but our products and services are truly superior to the vast majority of the marketplace.

Best of all, we are experts in our own style, colors and product offering. Our in-store Design Consultants do not work on commission. They are seasoned professionals and experienced in personalizing and working with customers on home projects of all sizes - making the completion of a room or whole home easy, timely and satisfying. Right down to the "white glove" home delivery, installation and acknowledgement of your complete satisfaction.

What we Do
Every piece of Maine Cottage furniture is made and custom-finished to order. And it's easy to choose as everything works together: colors, fabrics, styling and scale. With over 200 fabrics and 40 color choices, there is flexibility and ample opportunity to be expressive in your home.

How we do it
Our professional in-store Design Consultants provide friendly service and thoughtful design solutions. We know your time is precious, so we're here to guide you every step of the way - as much or little as you prefer - through to a "white glove" home delivery. And because our Design Consultants (happily) do not work on commission, you'll feel comfortable shopping at your own pace. The personalized service we provide has led us to lasting relationships of confidence and trust.

Made & Delivered within the USA
Made to order principally in New England and North Carolina, Maine Cottage is timeless furniture forms combined with beautiful colors and fabrics. Every piece is made and/or finished with high standards of excellence - then shipped, delivered and installed directly in your home by a professional "white glove" service.

Even in Blue, Maine Cottage is GREEN
Maine Cottage furniture is principally manufactured domestically using responsible, sustainable methods and materials in New England and North Carolina. With 20 years of conservationist business practices behind us, you can feel good about Maine Cottage. We've always said "Even in blue, our furniture is green." We do it because it feels right to us.

A Brief Maine Cottage History
How did it all begin? And what did it take for us to build a home furnishings business from scratch? View a 1996 Down East magazine article as a PDF.

It took vision: provided for us by artist and designer Carol Bass when she saw photo stylists painting 'found' cottage furniture to add color to presentations in home decorating magazines.

It also required a plan: developed and executed by our founder and president Peter Bass who saw parallels in the footwear and apparel business that presaged opportunities for marketers of colorful, casual home furnishings to a new generation of consumers who grew up with color magazines, TV and movies.

We opened for business 20 years ago here in Yarmouth, Maine with these basic ingredients plus samples of eleven furniture designs prototyped by a carpenter named ‘Cookie’, five bold colors from Carol’s paint palette, and an offer from a friend to design the first brochure for free.

Maine Cottage Today
We've come a long way. The vision, the plan, some good fortune and the enthusiastic energy and dedication of Maine Cottage people have resulted in a flourishing national company with three retail showrooms and a fully e-commerce website. We also have relationships with retailers and design professionals across the country.

Community
Community is very important to us. Maine Cottage principally directs its charitable giving and leadership support to the Greater Portland chapter of Habitat for Humanity. To find out how you can become involved with this important organization, please visit www.habitat.org.

We also support local charitable organizations and schools that are important to the family and friends of our employees.
