Rustic Vogue and Cottagecore Home Decor

Earthy and simple, cottagecore home decor — sometimes called rustic vogue for home styling — is a popular motif lately. The natural extension of TikTok’s cottagecore aesthetic, these home decor trends blend traditional shabby chic, and farmhouse or cottage styles.

With our new apartment, I’ve been looking around for some new decor with which to refresh our space. We’re not looking to replace furniture, really, so I’ve been eyeing more purely-decorative pieces. My own taste has always leaned rustic vogue and cottagecore, and there are lots of great pieces along these lines out there. If you’re finding comfort in the earthy tones and grounded designs of this aesthetic, here are some great products to add to your home:

Plants & Planters

Plants and foliage are a major theme in cottagecore. Plus, many people have developed interests in plants throughout the past year thanks to social distancing and working from home. Besides the plants themselves, there are lots of cute little planters available that are rustic vogue and useful, at the same time. I particularly like the little llama planters below, and the three-tiered shelf!

Wall Art

Cottagecore home decor wall art is an easy way to refresh a space, whether rent or own. Each of the pieces I chose below are smaller, easily suitable for apartment living, aside from the wallpaper on the far right. For more pictures of what the wallpaper looks like in real life, Jessica Kellgren-Fozard (featured in my Curated Content Series here) has some photos with it on Instagram.

Accents

Cottagecore home accents are probably the easiest to find, particularly with online shopping. Urban Outfitters and West Elm have some great options, from pretty candle jars to useful shadow boxes. If you would rather shop small creatives, Etsy has a number of great pieces. Some of my favorites include the framed pressed flowers below, the clover candles, and the pressed flower trivets.

Lamps, Rugs, & Pillows

Pretty and practical, I found a number of great rustic vogue inspired pieces from Target, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters. Our current quilt, which has served us well, is from Target, so I decide to look there first for bedding. From pretty subtle patterns to useful yet unique lamps, they have a huge variety of pieces available. For a bit more whimsey, Anthropologie offers pretty throw pillows while Urban Outfitters sells a cute little mushroom rug that I’m loving.

Kitchen

Tea is a major player in cottagecore videos on TikTok, so I was sure to include plenty of tea-related pieces here. From kettles to cups, soft colors with subtle, almost natural patterns are very in line with cottagecore home decor. I’m partial to Pinky Up kettles — great for one person — and you might recognize the pink kettle below from a previous post of mine since I have it in green. For a bolder set, try a vintage-inspired Alice in Wonderland set.

One of my favorite things about cottagecore home decor is the fact that it is so easy to personalize. Add more bright colors if you like, stick with neutrals, or do a mix of both! Make it whatever you want it to be. I like a bit of both, myself! Which do you prefer?
