SHOP THE LOOK: ENGLISH COTTAGE
One design style that continually inspires me is English Cottage aka Cottage-core. I’m naturally drawn to spaces that feel organic, rustic, and deeply connected to nature. I love homes layered with vintage finds, historical touches, and natural materials that bring warmth and authenticity into a space. For me, design isn’t about trends—it’s about creating environments that feel grounded, storied, and timeless. Spaces that feel collected over time, filled with character, history, and quiet beauty. 1. What Is English Cottage/ cottage -core?
