Plascon House Tour: Quaint Cottage Living

This homely cottage is filled with soul and a sense of easy living that is unpretentious, simplistic and cosy. In true cottage style, the owner has created a comfortable living space with an array of soft textiles and minimalist colour palette that is soothing and quaint.

In the living room, an old world fireplace is given a new lease on life with a modern fixture perfectly installed within the existing stone frame of the cottage. White walls and exposed wooden beams add to the country cottage style of this abode, and the room is decked out in rustic furnishings with woven rug and wood basket that adds texture and vintage charm here. The tiny kitchen area is maximised in terms of storage and spacing, with open shelves to house all the essentials and a clever use of beige curtain to blend in with the surroundings and hide away some of the appliances in this area. Little but bright, this area celebrates natural lighting and opens up into the rest of the home, with a cosy eating nook just to the side of the kitchen. Rustic charm fills the bedroom with a neutral palette of whites and greys, offset by a simple natural wood chest of drawers. An open shelf of collectables and decor accents adds to the quirkiness and cottage ambiance of this space, with hints of greenery in pots and a simple wreath on a wall, that add colour and energy to this simple room. The owner has also made provision for a cosy little study and crafting room, with a full-length wooden desk for maximum functionality in this space. This room is light and bright thanks to the unadorned window and the perfect spot for creativity to flow – either typing away on a vintage typewriter or making use of the striking aqua sewing machine. We also love the use of simplistic crates for added storage, as well as a wooden bookshelf to house some of the owner’s collectables. Contact: Plascon Via
