WHAT IS THE COTTAGECORE AESTHETIC?
Cottagecore is a lifestyle trend often reflected in fashion, food, and interior design. Born as a social media craze, the concept of cottagecore is based on a nostalgic portrait of rural living. In short, it’s about embracing simplicity, living life at a slower pace, and having a fundamental connection to nature. Picture garden parties, chicken coops, homemade pies, and lots of organic materials throughout the home.
HOW TO SPOT COTTAGECORE STYLE
“Cottagecore kitchens and baths are a blend of traditional English Country style mixed with Mid-Century Modern or Scandinavian design influences,” says Bonnie Schmitz, Manager – Design Trends & Innovation at Cabinetworks Group. “Overall, it’s a clean, casual look with some vintage, rustic, or repurposed design elements to bring in the back-to-basics spirit that’s at the heart of the cottagecore movement.”
