I love a pretty farmhouse. I’m always drawn to spaces that immediately feel warm and inviting — styles that whisper “welcome home.” Right now I’m especially fond of farmhouse, cottage, and coastal influences blended together. In short: I need a coastal farmhouse cottage vibe.
Here are 10 things I’m loving right now —
(inspired by classic home stores and timeless pieces)
1. Classic white dishes. Love.
Simple white dinnerware never goes out of style. It creates a clean backdrop for colorful ingredients and lets heirloom pieces and seasonal accents take center stage. White dishes work equally well for casual family meals and special occasions, making them a versatile staple in any kitchen.
2. Natural twigs and baskets.
Natural elements such as twig arrangements and woven baskets add texture and warmth. They bring a bit of the outdoors inside and are perfect for displaying greenery or corralling everyday items. A bird’s nest charger or a woven tray can be a small, charming focal point on a table or shelf.
3. Beautiful shades of glass for display and storage.
Colored glass jars and bottles in soft hues enhance a room without overwhelming it. Use them for storing pantry staples, displaying flowers, or grouping on open shelving. Their subtle color and translucence catch the light and contribute to an airy, collected look.
4. Quilts.
Quilts bring history and comfort to a space. Whether draped over the end of a bed, folded on a sofa, or used as an extra layer during cooler nights, quilts add pattern, warmth, and a handcrafted touch that modern textiles often can’t replicate.
5. Time-worn furniture mixed with natural chairs and rugs.
Layering vintage, well-loved pieces with simple natural seating and rugs creates depth and character. A weathered table paired with woven chairs or a neutral jute rug grounds the room and tells a story. Mixing old and new prevents a space from feeling too staged.
6. Beautiful quality and unique pillows.
Throw pillows are an easy way to refresh a room. Invest in a few unique, high-quality pillows with varied textures and patterns to add interest and comfort. They can be swapped seasonally to change the mood without a major overhaul.
7. Simplicity.
Less is often more. A restrained palette, thoughtful accessories, and uncluttered surfaces help rooms feel calm and inviting. Simplicity highlights meaningful pieces and creates a restful environment where details can shine.
8. Lanterns.
Lanterns add a cozy, timeless glow indoors and outdoors. Cluster a few at varying heights for intimate lighting or use them as table centerpieces. Metal or weathered finishes complement farmhouse and coastal styles beautifully.
9. Pretty & informal dining in light-filled rooms.
Casual dining spaces that take advantage of natural light feel welcoming and effortless. Opt for simple table settings, mixed seating, and fresh flowers or greenery to encourage lingering meals and easy conversation.
10. White fluffy towels and old-fashioned charm.
Plush white towels and classic bathroom details create a spa-like feel while maintaining a timeless, lived-in charm. Combine modern amenities with vintage-inspired hardware and soft textiles for a space that feels both fresh and familiar.
