This list of ideas will help you achieve the cottagecore decor aesthetic in your home.
When it comes to creating a cottagecore home, the secret is picking decor pieces that include soft florals, vintage touches, and natural textures that make every room feel warm, lived-in, and romantic, just like something out of an old storybook.
The purpose of this list is not for you to run out and buy everything, but to inspire you with ideas you can incorporate over time to achieve that cozy, nostalgic style that celebrates simple living and the beauty of nature.
Below are the 10 simple ideas to add a touch of cottagecore charm to your space.
1. Linen Curtains
Linen curtains in cream or beige are important for cottage core, especially in the living room. They filter light softly and make any room feel instantly cozy. Heavy drapes do not have the same effect.

2. Vintage-Style Teacup
Nothing feels more cottagecore than sipping from a floral porcelain teacup. Display it on an open shelf when you’re not using it so it serves as both a decor and functional piece.

3. Botanical Art Print

5. Floral Cushion Covers
Cotton floral cushion covers in soft blush or sage tones always fit into the cottage core aesthetic. These will give your sofa or bed instant cottage charm, making it look like a scene that jumped out of Bridgerton.
6. Candlestick Holder
Brass candlestick holders are a must have on your coffee table or dining area. They look charming and give that old-world glow in the evenings.
7. Wooden Peg Rail
A natural wood peg rail will be perfect in your entryway to hang aprons, baskets, or straw hats ; again another functional and decorative cottage core element.
8. Gingham Tablecloth
What’s cottagecore without gingham? A gingham tablecloth over your dining table is one of the easiest ways to make every meal feel like a picnic. If, like me, you’re not a fan of full table cloths for everyday use, try gingham table runners or gingham placemats for the same effect.
9.Ceramic Pitcher Vase
A ceramic pitcher vase perfectly captures the heart of cottagecore — simple, timeless, and charming. Its handcrafted look adds a touch of rustic elegance, whether it’s holding fresh flowers or sitting beautifully on a shelf.
10. Wicker Lampshade
A wicker lampshade brings warmth and texture to any room, instantly evoking that cozy, lived-in feel. Its natural weave complements soft colors and vintage accents, making it a perfect fit for the cottagecore aesthetic.
Final thoughts- Cottagecore Home Decor
Cottagecore is all about creating a warm, nostalgic space that feels cozy, lived-in, and close to nature — like a charming countryside cottage even if you live in the city. Think soft, muted colors, vintage-style furniture, floral prints, and lots of natural materials like wood, linen, and wicker. It’s not about perfection or matching everything — it’s about mixing textures and pieces that make your home feel gentle and comforting. Add little touches like a gingham tablecloth, fresh flowers in a ceramic pitcher, or a wicker basket by the sofa, and you’ll start to feel that calm, storybook vibe cottagecore is known for.
