Nail The Cottagecore Home Decor Aesthetic With LBB's Top Picks!
Rattan Planters
If the lockdown-inspired cottagecore trend is anything to go by, It seems we’re collectively falling out of love with big city life, and falling in love with rural ways of living. One such decor element that is cottagecore-ish at its very core is a sustainable, earthy, planter. We love rattan ones with wooden stands that deserve a place in your living room.
Pillar Candles
Want candles with a cottagecore aesthetic, consider using pillar candles. Yep, the spooky ones (with wax dripping down the candleholder) you see in horror movies. That’s exactly the type of candle you are going to use. They are chunky and last a long time. These ones in particular have an autumn fruit scent to them which adds to the cottagecore vibe you are going for.
A Wooden Lamp
The cottagecore aesthetic is a bundle of romantic visions of countryside life. So, lamps are a must if you want to nail the cottagecore vibe at home. Just any lamp won’t cut it. You need a wooden lamp with a sheer white shade that softens the light. Snug and homey, now that’s cottagecore on point.
A Textured Throw Blanket
A throw blanket makes the perfect addition to your cottagecore home. To create a well-lived and well-loved, homely vibe, you need to mix and match your patterns. Play with textures while you choose your cosy throw blanket. Neutral tones work great and are pretty soothing on the eyes too. This one with its popcorn texture caught our heart and our attention too.
A Sheer Floral Curtain
Take your cottagecore decor several notches up with a pretty floral curtain. Go for warm colours that let sunshine through. We love a good white curtain with cute prints all over it. This one has a linen textured fabric that filters light to make it softer. It helps that these curtains will work for all seasons, from summer to winter.
A Hammock Chair
A hammock chair is all you need to ace the cottagecore aesthetic at your home. The goal is to make all corners of your home cosy. So, it is totally up to you where you want to install your hammock chair. It could be your living room or even your bedroom. We are sure it will become your new perfect spot to snuggle up with your current read.
A Vibrant Rug
Add a pop of color to your cottagecore home with a vibrant rug. This one has our heart. It has lovely vintage charm to it that makes your home look and feel even more inviting. Getting a big rug that covers the entire floor area is a great idea too. However, we suggest going for neutral tones for a big rug instead of bright ones to maintain that dreamy peaceful vibe.
Pastel Bedsheet
You have to have pastel bedsheets if you want to achieve the cottagecore aesthetic. There are no two ways about it. Remember, it is all about romanticizing your daily routine and your bed where you sleep is such an important part of that. Soft pastel bedsheets not only look dreamy but also ensure that you sleep like a baby.
