1. OPEN-PLAN SHELVING
Wherever you live, emulate a country setting with your design choices. Forget streamlined - in a cottagecore kitchen, open shelving is key. Show off chopping boards, artisanal ceramics and storage jars, with copper pans and linen tea towels for a slow-living vibe.
Mali teapot, £60; mugs, £32 for two; Nalbari boards, from £35; Kitto storage jars, from £30, all Nkuku
2. PATTERNED TEXTILES
Cottagecore style offers scope for bringing in colour and pattern with fabrics to create the quintessential warm, cosy look. Whether a skirted sink, blinds or a tablecloth, play with prints that offer a true country feel. Ginghams, stripes, florals and animal motifs all work well; combine a few prints for layers of interest.
