A simple aesthetic for a complicated life

Cottagecore is an aesthetic that takes elements of simple, rural cottage life to create a natural and summery atmosphere. Within interior design, the cottagecore aesthetic is often created using an abundance of lush decorative houseplants, warm colour palates, and raw natural materials such as exposed brick or stone. However, what makes cottagecore such an interesting cultural phenomenon is how far it expands; cottagecore is a quality that can be attributed to housing, clothing, plants, accessories, music, novels, and especially lifestyles.
