Thank you for covering this!!! I’ve been piecing the elements together myself because you seem to be the first to nail it. I prefer the soft colors & serenity of this style plus its comfort without being too precious. Thank you for pointing out the decor pieces & furniture involved. You do such a thorough job and I appreciate each video you do.
Yay! I’m happy you finally covered this. I love both cottagecore and English Country interiors. I would say my personal style is something of a blend of both-rustic combined with modern elements against a slightly more colorful palette :)
What a beautiful and dreamy area of the country - just lovely. The style is so cozy and charming. Thank you so much for sharing this and have a wonderful day, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤
"But hey, I think it's much better to build something new that looks historic than knock down a beautiful historic building in order to build something new" is such an interesting observation and a good point! Besides, everything that IS old was once new, anyway, and I would bet that nobody buiding something hundreds of years ago was trying to make their buildings look prematurely old. I think the trick is to honor the intrinsic beauty of the old design aesthetics that make old homes/neighborhoods charming but not try to fake the patina and imperfections that come with age (artificially lumpy, rippling roofs, perfectly spaced paint splotches meant to indicate fallen away plaster, stone veneers that look like veneers). You can't faux-paint on three centuries of degradation, so it is better not to try than to fail spectacularly and obviously.
Hahahah you're so right Tim! The more you try, the more overdone & fake a house can look. I always agree that we should take small pieces of history to enhance our current homes, but it's all a balancing act at the end of the day😄 Thanks for your comment 🙏
Hi Jacqueline, I've just paused the video at 13.46 mark. That wall colour in bedroom! It looks a greeny beige? Beautiful. Never seen that colour before. Oh my! time to do an internet search. I'd love that in my new home. Also just realised that Edith Holden came from the Cotswolds, Warwickshire (country diary of an edwardian lady)
Just finished watching. It's a lovely style but a bit too beige for me. I need florals and lots of green. I'm definitely cottagecore. Very interesting to see so many different versions of cottage styles. I had no idea! I'd struggle with the low ceilings. Love my high ceilings which are common in Australia. I'm moving tomorrow to my new (old) home. So excited and bit overwhelmed. Then I'll be coming back to old home to paint inside and clean. Once I've survived the next 2 weeks I think I'll be in bed for a month 😂. Thankyou for your brilliant videos Jacqueline 💐
Oh my goodness! Congratulations on your Move 🏡 That's amazing 💓 I agree it's alot of beige😅 The Cotswolds is renowned for second-homes of the Londoners lol, so they like minimal colours as it's chic I guess. Cottagecore is more unrefined & usually not planned by an interior designer, which gives it some unique flair too🌸 I'm not sure which one I prefer🤷♀️ I flit back and forth hahaha😅 Thank you for your lovely comment 💓💓
Hi Jacqueline. Love this channel. I was wondering if you had any resources for purchasing beautiful curtains and roman shades that I see in many pictures of English homes? I am in California and can't seem to find anything like what I want.
Blimey, hard to say as I'm in the UK😅 If there is nothing in the stores, try online solely. Wayfair or Amazon usually do global shipping. If that fails Etsy is your best bet as you can get custom made from the UK & any pattern you want usually. Hope that helps abit!🤗🤗
I'd love you to have a look into traditional Slavic architecture, it's so stunning. As well as areas like Georgia/Armenia/Azerbaijan and Kazakstan/Turkmenistan/Krygystan. And Mongolian. Sorry, thats a lot.
@@dantierandbalogh yayyy thank you, tropical gardens in the UK like palm trees and plants we can have that come from warmer counties - i’ve just got a chusan palm (trachycarpus fortunei) but i believe that there are more plants and palm teees that we can have here
I really like this style but need a bit more color and pattern. Cottage style is a bit too much maybe. Not a fan of low ceilings and small windows. Thank goodness for technology to improve heating. A cold house would not be any fun. 😂
"beige" & oak overdose! Help. Thought I'd NEVER say this... Please give me a shot of Regency era scarlett red crushed velvet drapes and deep green camel back sofa with MAHOGANY wood. Ah....so much better now. Thank you. 😊

This is my style 😍 Love everything about it.
Isnt it completely darling? 😍

Agree that colour is lacking in this style (although depends on who you ask I guess😅). Thank you for your comment! 💖

Love your content, you are beautiful and eloquent, very professional and I very much enjoyed this video ❤️
Awww thank you so much Kim for your kind words. They mean alot 🙏❤️
Great video… nice job. I’m really enjoying that you speak normally versus some RUclipsrs that try to speak too fast.
Thank you Anne! Ironically, I feel like I'm waffling away quickly 😅😅 I'm glad it doesn't come across like that x
Cotswold country every time! Lovely video... Thank you 😊
Thanks so much for kind words Janet 💛💛
Such a peaceful and intimate style!🧡
True, very peaceful 🤗🤗
Fairy-tale beautiful
Thank you! 💛💛

@@dantierandbalogh I need an old British (or Irish) castle, but there aren't any here in Phoenix.
It's such a beautiful, calming style!
Thank you! 💙💙
You’re my new favorite RUclipsr omg
Hey Bestie! Welcome to the channel 🤗💖
I prefer Cotswold country cottage - your video was helpful in seeing the characteristics of Cotswold.
Thanks so much for your comment Gretchen🤗🌸

Oh 100% that's SO interesting! No sure I'm an expert in it, but I can research my butt off😅
Hello from the New York Catskills!
Hello! 💗 Completely jealous you live there!
could you do a video on cornish/coastal architecture & interior design please and maybe tropical gardens in the uk?
Sure! I know alot about Cornwall🤗💙🐚 Would you mind clarifying tropical gardens in the UK😅😅

An inglenook is not just recessed but would be big enough to sit in.
That's very true 🤣 they're huge!

I've been in many a cold-cottage in my time 😅😅😅 Far too common in the UK lol. Some people still live like it's 1900 🤣🤣
"beige" & oak overdose!
Help.

Sounds like you like Dark Academia interiors? 🤔🤔
