Do you love the charm of cottagecore but are not sure how to thoughtfully integrate this style into your home? I’ve rounded up the essential elements like wall art, decor, fabric, wallpaper, and more (with pictures and links for further inspo) to help you build your own curated space!
1. Embrace Nature with Wall Art
At the heart of cottagecore style is a deep appreciation for nature and pastoral life. Adorn your walls with art like botanical prints and watercolor landscapes that depict the tranquil beauty of the countryside. Choose art prints with soft, muted colors that feature elements like floral patterns, charming interiors, and woodland scenes to evoke peace and simplicity in any room in your home. Explore my collection of new spring prints to find the perfect piece for your space!
2. Incorporate Vintage and Antique Furniture
A cottagecore-inspired room tells a story through its decor. The inclusion of vintage and antique furniture, such as a distressed wooden table or a snug, overstuffed armchair, injects character and charm. Scour local thrift stores or flea markets for distinctive pieces that will add that unique touch of charm to your home.
(3. Use Floral Fabrics & Wallpaper
Floral prints, emblematic of cottagecore's embrace of the natural world, are essential. Integrate floral fabrics into your curtains, cushions, or bedding to invite the outdoors in. Floral or botanical patterned wallpaper can also make a bold statement, converting a plain room into a thoughtfully designed space. Pair one of my floral wallpaper designs with a charming art print to start piecing this aesthetic together in your home today!
4. Add Textural Elements with Wicker and Wood
Texture is crucial in crafting a cottagecore ambiance. Incorporating wicker and wooden elements adds layers of rustic charm and tactile warmth. Wicker baskets offer both aesthetic appeal and practical storage, while wooden furniture grounds the space in the earthy, homey feel characteristic of cottagecore.
Embracing the cottagecore aesthetic in your home decor is about creating a space that feels both timeless and intimately personal. It's a loving nod to the past and a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of contemporary life. Through thoughtful curation of decor, wall art, patterns, and furnishings, your home will become a charming, peaceful retreat.
