Home Decor

Down The Cove started as a Cornish family shop, and the coastal home decor still carries that feeling: things chosen because we'd happily live with them ourselves. Start here whether you want one characterful finishing touch or you're dressing a whole room from scratch. Spend an afternoon and you'll turn up coastal kitchen and dining decor like Cornish Mackerel tablemats, maritime wall art and prints that map our shipwreck-strewn shores, and Cornish-inspired gifts and jewellery cast in local pewter.

Keeping the coast close from anywhere

Not everyone lives within sight of the water, and that's rather the point. A pewter pasty pendant, an anchor keyring, a framed shipwreck map: each lets someone keep a bit of the coast close, wherever they wake up. They land well with homesick Cornish folk, with friends who holiday here every summer, with the sea-lover whose flat could do with a breath of salt air. Buying for someone who counts down to their next trip? Browse the places that inspire us and explore Bude on the north Cornish coast for a sense of the landscape behind the pieces.

Layering it without a theme

Keep things relaxed. Pick a couple of anchor pieces, a mirror or a print, then bring in texture with rope and driftwood and let the everyday stuff breathe in between. A traditional nautical mirror set against a softer contemporary hanging keeps a room feeling lived-in rather than staged. Nothing too matchy or themed.
