We’re taking a closer look at the home of Instagram influencer @colleensinteriors to learn how to capture this whimsical aesthetic, with a refined edge.
Embrace Soft, Calming Colours
Choose faded florals, soft pastels and antique cream. These gentle hues recall sun-washed meadows and classic English cottages - ideal for creating a peaceful, nostalgic retreat.
Display Thoughtful Accessories
Select objects with meaning - a handmade cushion, some vintage toys, or hand-painted china. These curated details give your home warmth, elegance, and a personal story.
Light with Natural Scented Candles
Soft lighting is essential to the cottagecore mood. Choose natural wax candles in floral or herbal scents like rose, lavender, or sandalwood to create a calming atmosphere and refined visual warmth.
Add Texture with Woven Details
Wicker baskets, wall hangings, and hand-woven placemats give your home depth, helping it feel cosy, collected and beautifully lived-in.
Introduce Floral Patterns
Small-scale florals on cushions, curtains, or wallpapers bring life and colour. Look for heritage-inspired prints in dusty pastels and faded tones to keep things romantic, not overwhelming.
