What’s the Cottagecore Decorating Trend?
Cottagecore décor has become a sought-after trend in the interior design world. Following ten years dominated by minimalist interior design, this laid-back and natural style inspired by all floral motifs, rustic elements and the curation of keepsakes has been warmly embraced by numerous households. A cottagecore dwelling places emphasis on coziness, understated elegance, wellness and a feeling of serenity through the blending of foliage and blooms with classic and vintage style furniture and accents. Creating a cottagecore ambiance involves crafting a space where you feel at ease and enjoy spending your time.
The Beauty of Nature’s Inspiration
One essential aspect of cottagecore decorating is a nature-inspired color scheme consisting of creamy pinks, browns, greens and hints of blues for added depth and character. Adding touches of vibrant reds, sunny yellows and vivid blues can bring a lively touch to elevate your space. Floral wallpapers, bedding and curtains are a definite must! Embracing natural elements and materials like wicker, reclaimed wood and stone countertops helps create a sense of connection to nature that defines this aesthetic style. Organic textiles such, as lace, linen, cotton and wool are being reintroduced in home decor items like curtains, tablecloths, carpets and area rugs to bring a textured feel to your living areas.
Cozy and Welcoming
Create a charming cottagecore house by selecting weathered furniture and vintage storage to set a relaxed tone. Add cozy touches like overstuffed sofas, embroidered linens, hand-knit throws, and dried flowers. Decorate with quaint quilts, herb-filled window gardens, family photos, and keepsakes to personalize your space. Finish the look with soft lighting, botanical artwork, books, and plenty of indoor plants for a warm, inviting cottagecore style.

A Peaceful and Serene Sanctuary
Creating a cottagecore environment is about setting up a space where you can unwind and savor some peace away from the hustle and bustle of daily responsibilities and social engagements. Each room’s decor should exude a lived-in ambiance that focuses on practicality for daily routines. Take inspiration from country living by incorporating elements like a farmhouse sink, a charming globe lantern, and a soothing clawfoot tub equipped with both a hand-held shower and faucet. Create a blend of accents, such as a suspended pot rack for the kitchen paired with a chandelier in the dining area. Emphasize the idea of incorporating nature indoors by introducing plenty of plants and flowers along with gentle lighting. The deliberate emphasis on nature-inspired designs, cozy vintage furniture pieces, and keepsakes that carry significance helps to establish a serene sanctuary that truly feels like home.

Origins of Cottagecore Style
The inspiration for the cottagecore style can be traced back centuries to 1700’s Europe. English and French aristocrats created quaint, leisure cottage-style homes in a pastoral setting based on a romanticized ideal of rural life. The aesthetic was coined “cottagecore” on Tumblr in 2018, but it really gained popularity in America in 2020 as people sheltered at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The appeal of a return to nature and a simpler way of life is still very much alive in cottagecore décor today. Transform any space into a cottagecore retreat by infusing it with elements of the countryside.
