You’ve probably heard the term thrown around or maybe you’ve seen it pop up across Pinterest, but do you ever find yourself wondering what cottagecore actually means—let alone how to achieve this whimsical, dreamy aesthetic? 

Using soft muted colors and a relaxed mix-and-match approach is a great way to bring cottagecore style into your home. Adding a bouquet of wildflowers to a rustic wooden table—effortlessly draped with a soft gingham tablecloth—delivers peak ‘summer in the country’ style.
