Cottagecore Charm

Posted by: Coral & Tusk

If you've seen "cottagecore" around the internet, then you probably know that Coral & Tusk is a perfect fit for the rural cottage in the forest decor trend! We love cottage charm and styling our designs to add nature and whimsy for that idyllic look.

Cottagecore is all about nature and natural elements, crafting and making things by hand, gardening, baking, and creating a cozy retreat. Above, we dreamed up a lush bedroom inspired by the forest floor and English cottages that come together as a calming space. Get the look by mixing our botanical embroidered decor, the Mushrooms and Ferns lumbar with vintage furniture or accessories, and filling vases with plant cuttings from the outdoors.

In the kids' bedroom, we styled mushrooms and ferns pillows with a natural wicker mushroom basket to hide toys, our Kitty pocket doll propped on a rainbow of vintage books, and an adorable Olli Ella mushroom basket for a pop of color. Our entire staff wanted to snag the basket, it brings such a charm to any room!

Sitting bedside, cheery yellow and red Falconware Enamel pieces fit in so perfectly with our ferns and mushroom designs. The pitchers are useful as nighttime carafes or as small vases for gathering wildflowers outside.
