Escape to the country

Cottagecore has its roots very much in the past, brimming with rural charm and nostalgic memories. Think of a romantic country cottage, its garden overspilling with rambling roses, foxgloves and blowsy blooms. Don’t worry if your home isn’t in a chocolate-box village though, you can achieve this look anywhere. Choose rustic planters for cottage-style flowers such as cosmos and sweetpeas, dress tables with relaxed linens and use woven baskets to carry fresh produce into the home.
