The cottagecore look is typically a balance of vintage finds, an organic colour palette, florals, and the ambiance of a cozy home. 

To cultivate a fully cottagecore-inspired home takes time, but the festive season is a perfect opportunity to begin introducing the essence of cottagecore into your home. Why not start with the dinner table to create your first taste of cottagecore?

  • Choose a dinner set that’s a perfect blend of florals and nostalgia to get started. Our Old Country Roses collection will suit to a tee
  • Or, go all in with a pattern that is the epitome of cottagecore Christmas! Discover our Old Country Roses plates and mix our iconic blooms with the spirit of a nostalgic Christmas
  • Let the Old Country Roses pattern become the star of the show, and choose a table cloth and any table setting accessories with an organic colour palette

  • It’s become a popular trend to use vintage teacups as candle holders. Buy a couple of extra Old Country Roses teacups and dot some candles around the dinner table for a Christmas warm glow
