Creating Cottage Core
There’s something magical about octtage core. It's a feeling of a slower, softer way of living that invites us to romanticise the everyday. We believe your home should feel like a sanctuary and cottage core is the perfect expression of that: gentle, nostalgic, and comforting.
Think of sun-drenched mornings, fresh flowers on the windowsill, and a table set with pieces that tell a story.
The Beauty of the Handmade
Cottage core celebrates craftsmanship and charm over perfection. Hand-painted ceramics, delicate embroidery and thoughtfully made homeware bring warmth and individuality into your space. Our hen butter dishes and jugs adorned with countryside motifs, or our strawberry embroidered napkins are the little details that turn a house in to a home.
Soft Florals & Playful Prints
Florals are at the heart of cottage core styling. From botanical illustrations to ditsy embroidered linens, these gentle patterns evoke the beauty of the outdoors. Pair them with fresh ginghams for a real countryside look.
Layering is key: mix florals with checks, add a touch of whimsy with animal motifs and don’t be afraid to combine colours that feel joyful and lived-in.
A Nod to Countryside Living
Cottage core draws heavily on rural life - farm animals, kitchen gardens, and simple pleasures. Pieces featuring chickens, rabbits, cows, and strawberries bring a playful countryside charm into your home.
Styling the Cottage Core Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of cottage core living. It’s where everything comes together: function, beauty and comfort.
Start with:
- A statement ceramic piece (like a patterned bowl or jug) or one of our striped utensil pots by the aga for storing all your wooden spoons in
- Soft linens with delicate embroidery
- A touch of greenery or fresh flowers
The Joy of Everyday Rituals
Cottage core is about finding beauty in the everyday. Pouring milk from a pretty jug, serving jam in a charming jam pot, or simply setting the table with care - these small rituals become moments of joy.
Our cottage core collection is designed to help you create a home that feels warm, inviting and full of character. Each piece has been thoughtfully chosen to bring a touch of countryside charm into modern living.
