Reclaimed, Vintage, And Thrifted: Building Your Cottagecore Collection
One of the key elements of Cottagecore interior design is vintage. You are, in essence, trying to surround yourself with decorative touches of the past.
- Reclaimed Wood Pieces: Reclaimed wood is an exceptional way to bring in the vintage feel in working, hardy furniture. A reclaimed wood rustic farmhouse bench is a great option to put next to your dining table or in the front hall. Found pieces, like the found wood cutting board, or another way you can add those natural wood grain details to your space.
- Vintage: Vintage is a fun and beautiful way to decorate your home in the Cottagecore style. Toss away those plastic oil bottles and use these wicker covered vintage wine bottles instead. Use a vintage washboard to hold your keys or other trinkets, or put your umbrellas or flowers in this vintage metal basket.
- Vintage-Inspired: Thanks to the emerging love of Cottagecore interior design, there are plenty of vintage-inspired pieces to add to your home. Swap out your bedding for a stunning and rustic country cottage vintage patchwork quilt, for example, or add function to your kitchen with this vintage-inspired towel rack shelf.

Flowers and Flowers and Flowers
Flowers and plants are an absolute essential component of the Cottagecore design. If you don’t have an English garden outside your window, however, you can use these tips:
- Faux Florals: Faux florals are stunning, timeless, and eternal. Decorate your home with sky blue hydrangeas, a blush French rose bouquet, or ivy and tea leaf floral garland to enhance the Cottagecore elements in your home.
- Floral Textiles: Floral textiles like the vintage botanical garden throw pillow or the adorable Cottagecore floral rabbit pillow cover are easy ways to add the whimsy of florals in your home.
- Floral Artwork: Art has always been a way to transport yourself. Add beautiful floral pieces like the framed spring at the cottage piece to offer a window into a wildflower-filled world.

Cozy Lighting Rules This Space
Coziness is another essential. The ultimate cozy lighting in Cottagecore design is a stone fireplace. If you don’t have that in your home, however, you can use these Cottagecore interior ideas instead:
- Reclaimed Lamps: Lighting can be fun and interesting, so choose pieces that add that vintage, quirky charm, like the clay pot table lamp with handles.
- Candles: Candles are an easy way to bring in the coziness of a fireplace into a home that doesn’t have that feature. You can opt for more brutalist designs familiar in more medieval settings, like the aged iron single taper candle holder, or more whimsical designs like the gold finish flower and bird taper holder.
- Lanterns: Lanterns are another way to add Cottagecore elements. You can opt for a candle-based lantern like the decorative galvanized tin lantern, or something smaller like the mountain railroad candle lantern for that Cottagecore feel inside or outside your home.

Florals, Checks, and Layers: Textile Essentials
Layer your textiles and mix and match. The final key to Cottagecore design is to be free and have fun with your textiles.
- Bold Curtains: Make your windows stand out with bold curtains like our buffalo check with ruffle curtain panels.
- Fun Pillows: Whimsical pillows like the agate green ruffle pillows, or the ruffled edge cotton check pillow, are an excellent way to decorate couches, chairs, beds, and even the floor.
- Decorative Throws: Decorative throws are another way to add comfort and whimsy to your space. From the soft fringed to the chess knit throw blanket, there are plenty of textures, styles, and designs you can choose from.
- Layered Bedding: Where you can really layer up patterns is with your bed. Start with a base like the cottage classics bed quilt, then layer throws on top that contrast with the pattern, like the farmhouse floral throw blanket. Add whimsy by choosing pieces with ruffles, or even lace, for an added Cottagecore feel.
Cottagecore is the whimsical cousin to the farmhouse style, so get creative with it and have fun. Little details make all the difference in this style.
