Cottagecore is trending and it’s big in bathrooms!

June 28, 2021 1 Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

From ‘cottagecore’ to rustic vogue, cottage bathroom interiors are super trending in the design world. Seamlessly integrating traditional cottage elements with modern design features, this nostalgic style whisks people away to enjoy sentimental comforts in a modern abode.

Emma Joyce from luxury bathing brand Victoria + Albert Baths shares some of her favourite cottage bathroom designs from around the world.

The perfect blend

Designed by London interior designer Katrin Cargill, this country oasis is a cottagecore masterpiece. Elements such as the native floral Linwood Fabrics blind, raised panel wall, and round pendant lights, immerse the space into old cottage style.

The roomโ€™s dark features, including the midnight blue walls, are moody statement pieces that are offset by lighter, elegant finer details, including the timber floorboards and white crosshatch table. The bathroom is the perfect blend between cottage eclectic and modern marvel.

Old country style

Kent-based interior designer Gabriel Hollandโ€™s signature friendly design is epitomised in this stunning cottage abode as the perfect mix of eclectic country style. Green and white wallpaper mixed with white walls merge light and movement in the space, with the wall light sconce and delicately framed mirror alluding to old country design.

This bathroomโ€™s layout concentrates on the bathing experience, allowing lucky users to slip into the essence of countryside chic in sumptuous style.

Whisk away 

Another design by Katrin Cargill, this modern take on cottage design oozes elegance. Seamlessly merging old with new, it epitomises the cottagecore trend.

Blending traditional elements such as the white scallop light pendant and elegant lace wallpaper with more modern features, the room slips between old cottage abode and luxurious modern bathroom retreat.

Modern simplicity

This stunning modern cottage bathroom by Minneapolis-based LiLu Interiors transports you to a luxurious countryside holiday home. In this compact space, a sense of depth is created through the striking half window wall, allowing a stunning view into the wilderness from the comfort of your perfectly warm bath.

Personality and texture are layered throughout the room by vintage framing on the cabinetry and windows as well as the wall lights.

The ultimate statement in quality and sophisticated style, their award-winning collections are packed with inspirational designs.

The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!

A long recovery road ahead but making progress in how much I can move my arm and although I drag myself through some days non-stop yawning, others I can go for a little walk or out for lunch before collapsing on the couch! I can now tie my own hair back and put on a real bra which is very exciting ๐Ÿคฃ Having my bestie here to help us with the boys, drive me places and just be brilliant positive company is the best thing I could have asked for not to mention the many Dinner Ladies vouchers from friends!

I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping to raise some awareness off the back of my misfortune (and also very lucky escape).

@newsouthwaleshealth have just put out this warning about a rise in serious bacterial infections. iGAS (invasive group A streptococcus) is what caused my necrotising fasciitis and sepsis.

Apparently there's similar happening in VIC too.

It's extremely rare but very serious nonetheless so please have a read and be aware of symptoms. I've linked to the article from a button via my link in bio.

While new technologies continue to shape the inter While new technologies continue to shape the interior design scene, one that has been getting a fair bit of traction of late isย marble-look porcelain. A cheaper alternative to natural stone, the latest printed porcelain tile technology makes it difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

Founded by husband and wife duo Anton and Rita Bourtsev, Sydneyโ€™s @kaolintiles has a unique offering in this space with over 100 different marble-look tile designs in small and large formats.

Promise this is the last wretched hospital photo I Promise this is the last wretched hospital photo I'll post and I hope to be home and with my lippie back on by Monday. You know it's serious when I'm lipstick free, right?!

This was about a week ago in intensive care. And although my arm is still bloody sore I'm now on a normal ward and no longer attached to any drips, drains or a catheter. I've come a long way.

This has been the most physical and mental challenge of my life but I'm through the worst. I kept my arm. The doctors saved my life.

I cannot say it enough times. If you're worried about your health, don't hang around. Things can change so quickly. 

A huge thanks to my amazing husband @damianfrancis We've had the hardest year yet and our marriage has never been stronger, even if my rings did get cut off my finger in hospital ๐Ÿ˜œ

As great of a job as he is doing at home with the kids, I cannot wait to get home now. Countdown is on to a new year and a fresh start.

And I can't say enough just how overwhelmingly grateful I am to all the medical professionals involved in my care, from the @healthdirectaus nurse who sent me to Emergency to the exceptional surgeons, doctors, nurses and support staff.

Happy New Year, everyone. Remember you never know what's around the corner and this is not a dress rehearsal!

And huge thank you for all your kindness here. Has been amazing while stuck in bed.

Xxx

For those who missed it, I was unlucky enough to get necrotising fasciitis. You'll have to Google it.
The unluckiest girl or the luckiest? Day 6 in int The unluckiest girl or the luckiest?

Day 6 in intensive care after suddenly coming down with a very serious necrotising fasciitis in my elbow on Sunday. Four operations later (with more to come) I'm out of the woods, alive and have my arm. But I won't be going home until after Christmas. Also picked up a bonus bit of pneumonia to keep things interesting.

I won't lie. This has been super super hard but I feel extremely lucky nonetheless. Have come across some exceptional surgeons, anaesthetists, doctors and nurses who have been incredibly kind at my most vulnerable as well as great at their jobs. I'm really grateful. Huge thank you to my amazing husband who is holding down the fort with the help and cooking of our wonderful friends. And to friends who check in, send love, flowers, snacks and sushi, I will never forget it.

Of course I will be sad tomorrow but my boys can visit and we will have another Christmas next month.

I'll leave you with this. Never ever ignore those health niggles. @healthdirectaus is always a great starting point.

Wishing you all a merry Christmas and will enjoy everyone else's celebrations on here with only a hint of bitterness ๐Ÿ˜‰

PS. Does this win the most unflattering photo of me ever published? I think so! No lippy for a WEEK.

    The bathroom styles are all elegant but I would prefer the modern simplicity.
