The Holiday English Cottage
Played by Kate Winslet, Iris’s country cottage is comfy and cozy, the embodiment of English country charm. Nothing is matchy-matchy, as a matter of fact, nothing matches. It’s a little chaotic, yet it hangs together. Kind of like Iris.
The Holiday English Cottage First Floor
See what I mean about eclectic? Clearly, the decor is meant to evoke a sense of history, flea market pieces, comfortable and not terribly expensive. This as opposed to the Amanda’s (Cameron Diaz) LA House which is tailored and neutral.

The English cottage bedroom is cozy and also filled with mismatched antique and vintage pieces.
But Amanda certainly wasn’t warm, regardless!
Inspired to get the look of The Holiday English Cottage? Here are a few items to get you started. (Disclaimer: A small portion of any sale in my Holiday LA House Boutique will be paid to me as a commission, which helps support this blog. Thank you!)
Next up: Cameron Diaz’s contemporary LA digs.
We minions could at least identify with Kate’s cottage in the movie, though I have no illusions that the furniture is costly. Very nicely done.
I love your blog!
Can’t wait to see the “Next Up” Get That Look for Cameron Diaz’s LA digs. I love that look.
Thank you!
Is there anyway you can find out who makes the blue and white cups in Iris’ kitchen? They are adorable!
Anon – I’m not sure about the cups. If anyone knows, please let us know. You might try MacKenzie Childs, they have some cute striped items.
Thank you for this post! I’ve heard wonderful things about their apartments, and am finally watching it as we speak. Great blog!!!
I am actually looking for the LIBRO poster in Jude Law (Graham)’s house/library when Amanda shows up unexpectedly. Any ideas where I can find one? Please help, I have searched and searched!
How can i do the kitchen cabinets for less? Love the look in the kitchen.
I’ve always adored this movie and this cozy cottage! Such an inspiring and fun post!
Thanks Lisa!
I’ve always loved the charm of this cottage. Now you’ve inspired me to go back and watch the movie again! This is such a fun post with great selections “get the look” too!
Thanks Janet! It is such an enjoyable movie and the sets fantastic!
Linda:
I never saw this movie but will have to watch it this holiday season. And that kitchen? The coziest I’ve ever seen. I love it.
It’s a charming, light movie with lovely sets. Highly recommend Leslie!
This is so great Linda! My hubby loves this movie so I am very familiar with it. Such a cozy kitchen. I also love your selections.
What a fun article. I had not thought much about this style before so learned something new. I am inspired to watch this movie again now:)
Hello! What paint color is used on these blue cabinets? My husband and I would love to use the same color in our kitchen! Thank you!!
Hi Christen – I’m afraid I don’t know the color of the cabinets. I would suggest looking at similar colors in your preferred paint brand and then testing them in your kitchen to see how the paint looks in the light there.
