Cottage kitchens -- they're adorable. Modern kitchen designs are becoming more popular among home owners. Glossy, white cabinets and stainless steel appliances with marble-finished floors.

Your kitchen will never age if you choose a cottage theme or cottage renovation. You should also make a statement with your small kitchen by using cottage style. You can give your kitchen country cottage charm. We believe that good things can come in small things. Your kitchen doesn't have to be huge to be trendy.

1. Wicker baskets are a wonderful way to store all your fruits, vegetables, bread, and laundry bits.

We have an insane amount of love for all things wicker. It is easy to find this versatile material in high-street stores and charity shops. It adds texture and warmth to spaces that need to be cosy-ed up. It's an excellent method to bring the outdoors inside.

2. You can mix and match your tea cups to satisfy your porcelain cravings

Tea cups are something we slowly but surely have collected (and saved from every charity shop in sight). The elegant floral ones with matching saucers and sweet gold rims. You can find these in a second-hand shop near you.

3. Open shelves are a great option to embrace clutter.

Pinterest has many DIYs that show you how to take out your existing kitchen cabinets to open up your kitchen. A great way to give your kitchen a rustic feel is to stack beautiful plates, pots, and saucepans on open shelves. You could also use vintage floral wallpaper behind the shelves if you are feeling brave. So cottagey!

4. Farrow + Ball recommends muted tones for walls and cupboards.

Farrow + Ball is a paint we love, and we know that not everyone loves them. However, they are the best choice if you want to channel the country/cottage feel. Farrow + Ball's bone is used on the woodwork in many kitchens. It adds a touch of English heritage. It is very difficult to go wrong with their paints because they are mixed with period decor and traditional materials.

5. You can also use rugs in your kitchen!

Pinterest is awash with kitchen rugs. These little rugs can transform any space. A half-round crochet rug would look great in a country kitchen. It's all the little things.
