Welcome, friend! Come inside and sit by the crackling fire. Grab your favourite beverage, make yourself comfy and let's delve into today's topic.
As the leaves begin to fall and the air turns crisp, there’s something inherently comforting about retreating into a space that exudes warmth and cosiness. This autumn, why not transform your kitchen into a cosy cottage filled with charm? Whether you’re preparing comforting recipes or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea, a cosy kitchen can make all the difference.
Tips for a Cosy Cottagecore Kitchen
To fully embrace the cottagecore aesthetic, consider adding a few simple touches to your kitchen. Here are some tips to help you create a space that feels warm, inviting, and perfectly suited to the season:
Incorporate Natural Elements: Bring the outdoors in by decorating your kitchen with natural treasures like acorns, pinecones, and cinnamon sticks. These little touches not only add a rustic charm but also fill your home with the scents of autumn. If you have the space, add some pumpkins as well. Baskets with apples give a lovely touch too and they are a perfect reminder to bake some apple pie or enjoy fresh.
Embrace Vintage Finds: Charity shops and thrift stores are treasure troves for those looking to add a touch of vintage to their kitchens. Look for copper pots, brown ceramic pieces, and old frames that can be repurposed to create a nostalgic atmosphere. Hang them or display them on open shelves or glass-fronted cabinets to showcase their beauty.
Add Warm Textures: Wicker baskets, vintage pillows, and wooden accents can add warmth and texture to your kitchen. Use wicker baskets to store fruits, bread, kitchen utensils, tablecloths or as decorative pieces on your countertop.
Light Some Candles: Nothing says cosy like the warm glow of candlelight. Place candles in lanterns or vintage candle holders on your kitchen table or windowsill. The flickering light will create a soft, inviting ambience, perfect for those chilly autumn evenings. Here you can find my favourite candles for the US and Europe.

To help you get started, I’m excited to introduce a new digital product: printable, vintage-inspired recipe book pages designed to bring a touch of autumnal charm to your home.
Vintage-Inspired Recipe Book Pages for a Cottagecore Kitchen
The new printable recipe book is a lovely way to organise your favourite recipes. Designed with a vintage aesthetic, it is perfect for those who cherish handwritten recipes.
The book is formatted to be printed on A4 sheets (200gr paper recommended), each containing two pages in portrait orientation. After cutting them out, you’ll have eight beautifully designed pages, including a cover, recipe pages, and note pages.
This recipe book is completely customizable. You can print as many copies of the recipe and note pages as you need, and bind them together with a book ring, twine, or any open ring that suits your style. Imagine a cosy autumn day, spending some time in a lovely, inviting kitchen, flipping through these pages, filled with your handwritten notes and favourite recipes.
Complement Your Kitchen with Printable Labels and Postcards
In addition to the recipe book, I created some vintage prints and printable labels. These labels are perfect for adding a touch of old-world charm to your spice jars, pantry containers, or homemade preserves. Simply print, cut, and apply them to your favourite jars, boxes or bottles. It’s an easy way to make your kitchen look more organized and aesthetically pleasing.
And don’t forget about the autumn-themed postcards! With international shipping available until stock finishes, these postcards are perfect for sending warm wishes to loved ones or for framing and displaying in your home. Each postcard captures the essence of autumn, making it a perfect addition to your seasonal decor.
A Glimpse into Cinnamon Cottage
For a bit of inspiration, take a look at the setup from Cinnamon Cottage. You’ll see how I’ve used vintage bottles with printable labels, wicker baskets, and natural elements like acorns and pinecones to create a space that’s both cosy and full of autumnal charm. A few thoughtful details can transform your kitchen into a retreat of warmth and nostalgia.
