The Vintage Antique Side Of Cottagecore
The vintage antique side of Cottagecore will lead you to spaces that have a rustic farmhouse or countryside aesthetic. These interiors will highlight any wooden aspects of their home, such as exposed beams. Oftentimes, faux wood wallpaper designs can help bring this worn and aged look to the room, especially if it isn’t natural to the home’s build. It offers so much character.
Cottagecore Florals
Floral patterns are popular in Cottagecore homes. Roses, daisies, lavender, and wildflowers among others, all exude a soft and romantic sensibility. It conjures thoughts of a stroll on a dirt road in the countryside where one might just feel compelled to pluck a few flowers to bring home. Floral wallpapers, especially in muted colors and distressed patterns can capture this look and adorn the home in such a beautiful way.

Wild vines twisting their way up a garden trellis, playful leaves dancing as they fall and mushrooms that sprout from the woodland ground can help us appreciate the beauties of nature. And while, the complexities of these elements can’t be overstated, the simple enjoyment of them is equally worth noting. A walk in the woods can help us slow down our busy lives and connect to the natural world. Bringing the look of whimsical botanicals into our home can be an effective reminder that we are part of this beautiful natural world.
