If you're seeking inspiration for a classic English country kitchen, we've no doubt you'll find it in Emma Diaz's beautiful, harmonious scheme.
In creating this look, Emma wanted to remain faithful to the cottage’s heritage and surroundings. She created a soft, natural palette combining soft yellows with gentle sage greens and a classic flagstone floor.
Read on to discover the exact products Emma used – from tiles and paint to accessories – then scroll down to shop the products from our collections below.
Hand painted tiles from our Emma collection arranged in a square are surrounded by frame border pieces and plain tiles from the same collection, to form a stunning panel above the range cooker.
The hand painted tiles are a perfect match for Emma's sage green kitchen cabinetry and ivory Everhot cooker.
Emma opted for a soft yellow and green palette for her kitchen that beautifully echoes the tones of her garden. On the walls, she used Warm Stone paint by Edward Bulmer Paint, and on the floors, stone tiles akin to our York Flag 4-tile pattern mix.
Emma chose to run plain tiles from our Emma collection along the walls above her worktop, adding a gorgeous brass rail with porcelain lights from Devol.
Shop the products below to create this look in your own home. We recommend ordering samples to begin with, so that you can see the tiles in the light of your space before making the commitment.
The tiles were actually a key starting point for changing the aesthetic of the kitchen. I felt that the space needed something traditional and ‘country’. The pretty sage green pattern mirrors the colour of the units perfectly.

Emma Diaz and her husband moved into their home, a Georgian cottage in the Cotswolds, eight years ago. They have spent the past six years renovating it themselves: knocking down walls, extending, replastering, decorating, and most recently adding some of our hand painted tiles – from a collection that happens to share her name – to their charming country kitchen.
