How about combining cottage core comfort with a cool coastal breeze? This coastal cottage retreat can be created in a few easy steps.
Natural Textures
Pair handmade furniture with natural textures like cotton, rattan, and wicker to introduce a coastal charm to your space. Woven fabrics and organic materials can authentically bring the beauty of the rustic into your home. If you want to take the cottagecore style further, give your wood furniture a weathered look. This will make your space feel lived-in, even living in a new home.
Give your decor a beachy feel with a soft color palette inspired by the blue hues of the ocean and the sand of the shoreline. This soft color palette that ties together the cottagecore-inspired look. With walls painted in white and neutral cream, this look combines warm neutrals with navy, sky blue, and teal to recreate a beachy feel. Subtle touches of tan tones add warmth and dimension, while taupes and creams help tie the whole look together.
Nautical Touches
No coastal cottage interior is complete without a few touches of nautical style. These could be fossil shell ornaments on your sideboard or charming sailboat pictures. If you live near the beach, you could even create a small decorative display from shells you find along the shoreline. For those who live a little further from the beach, why not collect pebbles or shells from your travels and display them to remind you of your adventures?
Lighting Ideas
Use windows to create a bright, airy feel throughout your home. Take advantage of natural light by opting for sheer curtains. They diffuse the light and give this coastal cottage a soft feel. In the evening, create a soft ambiance with table lamps and chandeliers, and relax surrounded by the calming aura of the beach.
Super Cozy
One thing about the cottagecore style is that it’s supposed to feel cozy. That means getting the perfect sofa, or in other words, one that feels as cozy as it looks. You can enhance the comfort with lots of soft furnishings and fabrics. A blue or striped rug is perfect for bringing a touch of coastal charm to your interior while also adding comfort underfoot. You’ll also want to cover your sofa and bed with lots of blankets, and soft pillows to give your home that cozy feel that cottagecore style is famous for.
