Cozy Cottage Kitchens that Express Your Personal Style

Heavy Exposure
Open shelving is a trademark cottage look and creates a perfect spot to display a china collection.

Paint It White
Off-white cabinets, beadboard, handmade accessories, and wooden floors make this kitchen quintessentially cottage.

White Cottage Kitchen With Exposed Beams
This light and the bright kitchen look readymade for baking fests and features views out onto the front yard. The cabinets are whitewashed pine; the floors are oak.

Cottage Chic
Designer Dave Stimmel embraces chandeliers, toile, and gold in this eclectic kitchen. The rustic look of exposed-stone walls mixed with the ultra-feminine mantel and backsplash work well in cottage style.

Two of a Kind
Beadboard and painted cabinets are popular choices in cottage kitchens. Why not combine the two for a unique look?

Not Your Grandma’s Kitchen
Lacquered antler chandeliers and bamboo lattice-back dining chairs are a whimsical touch in this room by Don Raney. Painted crown molding against a hunter-green wall assures that the room isn’t too funky.

Blue and White Cottage Kitchen With Exposed Beam
In this kitchen, upper cabinets are open to displaying pretty dishes and cooking supplies. Lower cabinets and drawers provide practical hidden storage.

Toiles of the Trade
Pink toile wallpaper along with curtained cabinets give this nook comfortable femininity.

Everyday Elegance
Judith Balis uses floral valences, white cabinets, beadboards, lace, and a pop of red to create a cozy cottage style. Functional touches like an overhead unit for hanging pots and pans are welcome in the cottage kitchen.

Ravishing Retro
The early 1900s flush-mount fixtures in this galley kitchen give it the charming look of yesteryear. Calming sea-foam green paint brightens the retro-inspired cabinetry.
