The Cotswold Company

The Cotswold Company uses natural materials and clever design to create stylish and practical furniture and accessories.

CREATE A RUSTIC FEEL

Recreate a country feel in your home with beautiful wooden dressers, hand-painted tableware, solid oak dining tables and comfy leather armchairs. For the garden there are big rustic oak tables, vintage French style benches and chic acacia wood loungers. The conservatory ranges are lovely, such as the Malabar modular rattan range, which is also great for storage.

COOKWARE, LINENS AND ACCESSORIES

The Kitchen section features professional pans and classic Le Creuset cookware and a great range of food preparation tools and equipment. As well as table linens they have some gorgeous soft furnishings, from floor cushions to bedlinen. Accessories include basketware, candleholders, doormats, house numbers, laundry baskets, mirrors, picture and wall art, planters and vases. The children's furniture echos the same pretty country style and the old-fashioned school desk and toy chest are particularly nice.

Cotswold Co works with a range of manufacturers and takes the time to develop independent companies that use traditional furniture-making methods. It insists that raw materials are from sustainable sources and that workers are not exploited. It also has an increasing number of products that are FSC or PEFC certified.

UK shipping costs £3.95 for accessories and goes up to £24.95 for the larger furniture pieces. They also have five shops in the South of England.
