Cottagecore is a romantic and nostalgic movement to embrace all things handmade, natural, and pastoral. This cozy aesthetic pays homage to English countryside cottages and embodies simplicity and harmony with nature by incorporating neutral tones and wood accents. If you’re looking for a timeless and budget-friendly way to add warmth and nostalgia to your home, a cottagecore kitchen is the way to go. Here are some cottagecore trends that we’re loving for 2021.

This cute shabby chic countryside trend is back! The inclusion of fabric in décor is a key element of cottagecore. Fabric skirting is a great way to save some money on cabinetry and incorporate a sustainable natural element into your design. Cabinet skirts can be an excellent way to add a pop of colour to your kitchen or include a fun pattern. In true cottagecore fashion, stripes, checks, plaids, and florals are IN.

Whether it’s exposed beams, old wood cabinets, or distressed wood cabinets made to look old and well-loved, including wood is a sure way to add coziness and warmth to your kitchen. If your generic wood kitchen cabinets are boring you, consider some DIY distressing, and complete the look by adding some open wood shelving and vintage pieces to the room.

s generally include a lot of warm neutrals. Earth tones are essential to your cottagecore kitchen and will draw on the warmth of other natural elements. Greens, browns, beiges, warm whites, and blues are very common base colours for cottagecore spaces, with occasional pops of complimentary colours such as rust and peach. These colours can be incorporated into accent island colours or the pattern on cabinet skirts.
