What is cottagecore?
When I think of cottagecore, I think of a romantic, whimsical existence with a rural lifestyle, in a location like the English countryside. A cottagecore home is usually filled with vintage furniture, shabby chic decor, and floral prints. The person who lives in a cottagecore home is someone who craves a simple life and has a love of the natural world. The aesthetic is filled with simple living and traditional skills like sewing, bread making, and gardening.
What is a cottagecore bedroom design?
When it comes to understanding the basics of cottagecore bedroom design, you need to think of how you will incorporate the following design elements into your home. Whether you live in a countryside cottage, or in a small apartment. These tips and tricks will help you create that cottagecore aesthetic for your bedroom on a budget.
Cottagecore Bedroom Ideas
Before you start planning all the decor and furniture you’ll need to buy, I would recommend taking time to go through your home and take inventory of what you already own. The key element in cottagecore design is sustainability. So we want to be conscious of our purchases.
Tips for being conscious of purchases, buying thrifted and second hand.
Here are our favorite and affordable cottagecore bedroom ideas that will help you create a cozy space.
Start with a Muted Color Palette
We’re starting with paint colors that are perfect for a cottagecore bedroom. Our favorites are earthy tones and pastel colors. You’ll also find a lot of pale greens used in bedrooms.
Integrate Natural Materials
Using natural elements in your room like wooden furniture, fresh flowers or even stone walls is a great way to flood your space with warmth.
Floral Prints
Floral patterns are at the core of cottagecore, and there are so many options for incorporating floral prints into your room. We choose to incorporate botanical prints in our bedroom, but you could install floral wallpaper on an accent wall instead. Depending on your style, you could find a duvet cover with a subtle floral print or something with floral motifs.
Wicker Baskets
Baskets are great for not only decoration but also double as a laundry basket, or storage for shoes, linens, or anything else. They can also be used as wall decor.
Cottagecore Light Fixtures
When I think of cottagecore lighting I think of fairy lights or string lights. Hang them above your bed, along the window, or over the doorway.
Add Some Antiques
Use antiques in your bedroom design, like antique furniture or decor. It can be anything from an antique dresser to an antique vase. If you are on a budget, and finding a vintage hand-me-down isn’t possible. Then go for a modern take on a vintage find, like this retro alarm clock from Amazon. Basically, anything with a vintage feel will do.
Use Books as Decor
A favorite cottagecore trend of mine is using books as decor. Especially if they are classics like Little Women and Anne of Green Gables. Nothing says cottagecore vibe quite like reading a good book with a cup of tea in the evening.
Grow Little Garden
An indoor garden doesn’t have to be a huge hydroponic system. Instead, grab some plants and flowers from your local garden center to use in your bedroom. The more the merrier! We love seeing overgrown plants, and unruly wild flowers. Don’t worry if you don’t have large windows or natural lighting, because we’ve put together a list of our favorite low-light-loving plants you can use.
Traditional Crafts
When I think of crafts, I immediately think of my mom. She loves collecting trinkets like old bottles and vintage items. Which is perfect for cottage bedrooms, because it’s an easy way to create a collection of your favorite things.
