Storage Trunks
A core part of cottagecore and farmhouse styles is using natural materials, such as wood, iron, and even ceramics. You may think that such materials cannot be utilised effectively in smaller spaces, but we have an array of small space furniture ideas that hit that mark. Why not utilise some space-saving options at the same time with a wooden storage trunk, such as our lidded wicker storage trunk?
This piece can be placed beside a window, slotted into cozy corners, and is even slim enough to be placed in hallways, welcoming guests into your home with a hit of rustic style. It combines simplicity with an antique vibe, giving any room it is in a striking look. It is also the ideal place to store some additional throw pillows or blankets for those cooler months when you have guests popping round.
As well as offering storage, these trunks can also double as side tables in your home, as they are decorative enough to be a side feature in your living or dining room. It is lightweight enough to move out when you are hosting extra guests, and it will add warmth to the space with ease.

Accent Tables
Another one of our small space furniture ideas is our accent tables. For this, you will want a mixture of simplicity and whimsy, which is present in our clover-shaped spindle leg accent table. This table is small enough to be placed in a corner, pulled out when you have guests as a side table, and is also chic enough to be a plant stand. Very versatile!
The natural wood and white paint of our accent tables will help to enhance the cottagecore or farmhouse whimsy in your home. For small side tables, why not pair them with doilies or a candle holder? You could place two of these tables in a corner of your home, making them a feature of a conversational nook that you share when friends visit.
An interesting feature about all of our distressed pieces is that you will never get two pieces that look the same, adding uniqueness to each of these accent tables. These tables are also handmade, which means that each one may have a different look or feel, adding to the rustic charm of your home with ease.

Cube Pouf
Smaller spaces need multifunctional furniture. So, why not mix this comfort with a pouf? Our small farmhouse cube pouf is the perfect addition for your living room, sunroom, or even your bedroom. It doubles as additional seating in all of these spaces, and can of course be a cozy pet bed if you have a cat or dog.
The white speckled cotton exterior makes this piece look rustic and aged, adding something unique to any farmhouse or cottagecore home. The soft, natural textures add something tactile that echoes farmhouse charm, without being too bright or modern. Also, should the exterior get dirty, it can be removed to be washed, so there is no pressure to keep it sparkling.
It is small enough to be tucked in beside chairs in your living room or dining room, or even at the foot of the bed. It is also small enough to double up as a side table, making it a very versatile addition to your home's décor. You could even use it as a plant stand, just be sure to put a plate under the plant.

Pendant Lighting
Often an overlooked furniture item, pendant lighting will immediately add cottage and farmhouse themes to any room. And yes, there are options to use pendant lighting in tighter kitchen spaces, or other rooms in your home, without dominating the space.
Our distressed metal pendant light features a 12-inch light shade, which makes it small enough to put in hallways, nooks, and reading corners. It also has a slender profile, which gives it a boho look, which will complement any home with cottage or farmhouse interiors. Each piece is unique and distressed by hand, so if you opt for more than one, no two pieces will be the same, which will add a unique, classic feel to the space.
It also comes with an adjustable chain length, allowing you to choose the perfect length for it to hang. For kitchens, you can choose to lengthen the chain to drop it over an island or an eating area. For a hallway, you can choose to have it closer to the ceiling so that it won't greet your guests with an unwanted head collision.
