10 Charming English Cottage Inspired Kitchens

Hey friends! Today I want to share 10 charming cozy English cottage inspired kitchens! A primitive practical style, yet absolutely beautiful!

The English cottage style is all the rage right now and gaining a lot of popularity! There is something about a simple, rustic, back to the roots yet charming and cozy type home. If you are confused what the cottage English style is all about I explain it all in this post!

However today I want to talk specifically about English cottage kitchen. The kitchen is a big part of the home and makes a huge impact on the rest of the living space. If the kitchen is charming and lovely then that using trickles into the rest of the house.

I want to share my favourite English cottage kitchen with you today that make me feel all warm and fuzzy and tempt me to move to a English country side!

What are elements of an English cottage kitchen?

• Warmth and character: A cottage kitchen usually has a welcoming and cozy vibe. The colours are mostly neutral and warm and other elements also express a lived in, cozy and safe space.
• Natural Material: Natural materials like stone walls/backsplash, exposed wooden beams, hardwood floor and wooden cabinet are often seen in English cottage kitchens.
• Colours used: The colour palette of English cottage kitchen is usually soft and muted, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Earthy tones such as creams, beiges, soft greens, and pale blues are commonly used.
• Cabinet style: English cottage kitchens tend to be on the primitive side, with flush cabinets or even cabinets without doors, lots of open shelving, displaying most kitchen accessories. Very often upper cabinets are left out, and a rustic table is used as an island. Dishes and canisters are often highlighted and usually practically set for everyday use.
• Vintage touches: From furniture to decor vintage touches are often seen throughout these cottage kitchens. Vintage art, antique tables and chairs and ceramics are often displayed adding character and mystery to the space.
