Cottagecore Curtains & Cushions: 3 Linen-Look Fabrics for a Calm Country Home
If you love that relaxed cottagecore look—soft light, natural textures, gentle patterns—linen-look fabrics are one of the easiest ways to get there. They bring the warmth and character of linen, with the practicality and easy drape that makes them perfect for curtains, Roman blinds and cushions.
Below are three of our favourite linen-look designs for creating a calm, country-inspired home. Each one works beautifully on its own, but they’re also designed to mix together effortlessly.
1) A timeless stripe for Roman blinds and relaxed country rooms
Stripes are a cottage classic for a reason: they add structure without feeling busy, and they instantly give windows a tailored look. This style is especially lovely for Roman blinds, because the folds show off the stripe rhythm beautifully.
Style tip: Pair striped blinds with warm neutrals (stone, oatmeal, soft white) and add one floral cushion for contrast.

2) Soft florals for cushions, curtains and a gentle ‘English meadow’ feel
Nothing says cottagecore like a floral—especially one that feels hand-painted and easy on the eye. This print is perfect for curtains that soften a room, or cushions that add charm to a neutral sofa.
Style tip: Use this floral as your “feature” fabric, then keep everything else simple—plain linen cushions, natural wood, and soft greens.

3) A modern country stripe with an artisan look
If you want something that feels a little more graphic (but still cosy), this stitched stripe is a brilliant choice. It has a handcrafted, woven character that works beautifully for cushions, bench seats, café curtains, and even statement upholstery accents.
Style tip: This is a great “balancing” fabric—use it with florals to keep the look fresh, or pair with plain textures like boucle, wool, or chunky knits.

How to mix these three fabrics (easy cottagecore formula)
If you’re not sure how to combine patterns, try this simple approach:
-
Choose one “main” pattern (usually your floral) for curtains or a hero cushion
-
Add one stripe for structure (Roman blinds or larger cushions)
-
Finish with plain textures (oatmeal, cream, warm beige) to let the patterns breathe
A small mix of pattern + texture is what makes cottagecore feel collected and lived-in—never too perfect.
