Living Room
The living room in a cottage-themed home may seem like the ideal place to put all your cottagecore home décor. Of course, you will want to avoid clutter and instead, focus on a couple of areas at the most to highlight the cottage theme. For those new to cottagecore, try to focus on the sofas and the floor.
For the sofas, you will want to get your hands on a nice floral or gingham throw. Try to make sure that the options you buy are made from natural materials, like cotton, wool, and linen, as this will help to enhance the natural flow of the space. At the Antique Farmhouse, we have options ranging from a tufted cotton throw blanket, to knitted woolen options for those colder months.
For the floor, you will want to keep any natural wooden flooring exposed, with no excess of carpet covering it. If you want to put a rug down, then have a look at our cottage farmhouse area rug, which adds to the cottagecore home decor without being too overpowering in the space.

Dining Room
Does your home have a dining room with a table? If you have a wooden table, you can accessorize it to bring out the cottagecore vibe and create an interesting look. A core item to have in a cottage dining room is doilies. These can be simple to make if you are good at crocheting, but if you want to order them, you can have a look at our collection of doilies to get some inspiration.
peaking of your wooden dining room table, to help with the natural theme, you can either leave it plain and exposed, or you can get a table covering. If you opt for the latter, try to make sure it is made from a natural, delicate fabric, such as cotton or linen and try to choose a covering that is white or cream. If you have kids, it may be best to invest in a few of these, as white cotton and linen do get dirty.
For the wooden chairs, why not get some small throw pillows? These will offer additional comfort and are a great way to add a splash of pastel colors.

Bedroom
How do you extend cottagecore home décor to the bedroom? With the bed! Much like the living room, you can use the bed to create a focal point in the bedroom and, in the summer months, use white or cream covers and pillow cases, to add a fresh look. Or, if you prefer, you can use these fabrics to introduce a touch of the botanical to your bedroom. So, take a look at our blue floral pillow covers for some ideas.
For the rest of the bedroom, try to incorporate natural, exposed wood on the floor and for the furniture, like the bed frame, the chest of drawers and the wardrobe. Or, if you aren’t a fan of exposed wood, try to paint all of the items white, or add a touch of pastel furniture paint to them. This will add a splash of color, and create an interesting look in your bedroom.
For other items like mirrors and picture frames, it is very much the same idea. Try to get clear cut, wooden picture frames and mirrors with natural edges.

Kitchen
The focal point of any kitchen is going to be the oven. So, how do you accentuate the space with accessories in the cottagecore theme? Start small, with items like gingham tea towels, or even gloves in a botanical print, to add a simple but identifiable mark of the rustic cottage theme you are aiming to create.
Next, look at other items in your kitchen, such as the pots where you store biscuits, bread, tea, coffee and sugar. For a kitchen that looks like it belongs in a cottage, you will want to try and get these in either wood, or China. Try not to go too over the top with the decorative elements here, as it can make your kitchen countertop look cluttered.
Do you have a chopping block? If the answer is yes, is it made of wood or stone? Even a simple wooden chopping board can help to bring out the rustic feel you are going for.
For the floor, why not put down a decorative runner? If it is made from a natural fabric, like cotton or linen, or is even made from knotted twine, this will look amazing in any cottage kitchen.
