The Summer Edit: A Postcard from The Cotswolds

In this next stage of the Summer Edit, we’re leaving the bright coastal light behind for something a little softer. This time, we’re stepping into a landscape of rolling hills, winding lanes and honey-coloured cottages that feel timeless.

The Cotswolds countryside is the kind of place that invites you to slow down. Old stone walls, traditional flagstone floors and gentle, earthy hues come together to create homes that exude a warm and reassuring comfort. Every detail is simple, with character that comes from materials that age beautifully and look even better with time.

Wander through the villages here and you’ll find cosy pubs with stone hearths, farmhouses with limestone floors that have been walked on for centuries, and handmade pottery that feels satisfyingly authentic. That same balance of traditional craft and subtle elegance is what inspired this edit.

Zellica™ Antique White - This tile brings a handcrafted note to the scheme. Its glossy glaze and gentle variations in tone are a nod to rustic pottery on a farmhouse dresser. In kitchens or bathrooms, it catches the light beautifully, adding a subtle layer of texture that breaks up the heavier stone feel with something more delicate.

Cotto Décor - Every country look needs a touch of inviting warmth. The Cotto tile echoes terracotta flooring you’d find in older farmhouses, but with none of the upkeep. Its organic, textured finish brings in that slightly lived-in appeal that makes a space feel welcoming from the moment you step inside.

BAL MM3 Eco Grout Medium Oak & Foundry™ Tarnish Trim - These details might be small, but they make all the difference. The BAL MM3 Medium Oak grout helps colours blend softly without any harsh lines, while the Foundry™ Tarnish trim brings in a touch of genuine character that feels right at home with the ironwork and fittings you’d find in a country cottage.
