Whether you truly live in a cottage or you simply want to recreate the sense of cosiness that comes with one, a cottage kitchen design could be ideal for you. We’re going to explore what a cottage kitchen design is, how to achieve it and how you can use our AI Scrapbook tool to reimagine your own kitchen in the style.
So, what is a cottage kitchen?
A cottage kitchen is a type of interior design style that is characterised by a warm, cosy, and homely feel. It often incorporates natural materials, unique vintage appliances and rustic accents to create a charming and practical space. This type of kitchen design is typically used to create a welcoming atmosphere where household members and guests can socialise.
Cottage kitchen ideas
Create a cottage-style kitchen by using soft colours and natural materials and textures. Popular colour schemes are typically creams, whites and beiges but this can also extend to earthy colours like greens or terracottas. Natural materials like slate and wood are also popular options for incorporating a sense of nature within your kitchen and creating that cottage feel.
You can add charm and character to your kitchen by seeking out vintage or antique pieces, like an aga oven or framed old ad posters. We love this characterful Martini print from a Resi customer’s home that adds a fun personal touch to the newly renovated space:

Another way of creating the cottage kitchen style in your own home is to opt for open shelving and cabinets with glass doors can be used to display your favourite dishes and kitchenware, adding to the traditional feel of the space. This sage green glass cabinet from Wayfair is a great example of a cottage-kitchen-feel cabinet. And, if you’d like to really amp up the cottage kitchen decor game, search on sites like Etsy or Vinted for one-of-a-kind crockery pieces.
