During the pandemic, as own homes turned into holding cells, the whole world turned to an escapist living where soothing, simpler times existed. From painting landscapes to knitting a soft scarf, we captured everything minimalist, artisanal and sentimental.

An interior design trend that brought back memories of visiting your grandparents and being snuggled in a safe, happy house surrounded by fields and babbling brooks skyrocketed. It innately drew from the country life— picket fences, homegrown veggies, botanical motifs, linens, and the smell of freshly baked bread wafting in the air!

Though we cannot pinpoint the exact period when modern-cottagecore, a more stylized variety, began, the look pulls designs from traditional England of the 19th century.

Cottagecore interior style has certain classic features that instantly set it apart.

Luscious houseplants in and around the home, natural materials like stone walls and hardwood floors, a fireplace, vintage or heirloom furniture pieces, plush seating, delicate laces, and tons of baskets placed around the house are some of the elements personifying cottagecore.

Small luxury additions such as elegant lighting and slightly updated furniture pieces can help fit the style into any home!

This design trend plainly recommends sustainability in every walk!

The chief design elements are natural and organic materials, pastel shades, neutral palettes, print on print, organic textures, and finishes.

However, one can update the style to blend into vintage chic. For instance, botanical prints can be upgraded to luxury Egyptian linens or see-through draperies with traditional country stripes. The perfect examples are the delicately woven Cotton Canvas Bomu Curtains or the textured floral embroidery by Canora Grey.

Cladding in the bedroom is increasingly popular for adding character to an otherwise small space.

In whites or greys, a muted wall-paneling to adorn your bedroom will give it an instant chipper-country feel.

The rule is balance; anything too rustic can quickly look dated. In a kitchen, the real estate is mainly occupied by floors, cabinets, and countertops.

It’s a good plan to keep the countertop traditional and the flooring state-of-art, or vice versa. For example, a country-chic limestone flooring will pair gorgeously with a matte black marble top.

Next comes the cabinets. Applying the same principles, opting for traditional timber cabinetry means the fixtures can be a suave, matte black.

However, brushed brass or gold fixtures and faucets will fold flawlessly into the cult-favorites like a Belfast sink in black marble. Metallic faucets and knobs in a seamless stone top acting like celestial lights in an inky black sky.

Done well, a cottagecore kitchen can be quite breath-taking and dreamy.
