Create The Cottagecore Feeling with Dulux Easycare

  • 10 May 2024

If you haven’t heard about the Cottagecore trend yet, where have you been hiding? Over the past few years, Cottagecore has slowly grown in popularity on social media, with more and more people enchanted by traditional Irish countryside style.

And who can blame them? This nostalgic aesthetic feels incredibly comforting and cosy, reminding us of a simpler time when hurried schedules and technology didn’t consume our lives. Cottagecore is all about taking inspiration from nature. Think neutral shades, botanical patterns, and natural materials – even a few vintage pieces of furniture can add to the cosy cottage feeling.

If you want to transform the way your home looks and feels by following the Cottagecore trend, here are three things to consider.

What are the go-to Cottagecore colours?

 

With Dulux Easycare, you can turn any space into your happy with a simple lick of paint, creating rooms full of joy and feeling. Our colours work can in any room of your home and suit in any style.

A nature-inspired palette is the most obvious choice for capturing the feeling of escaping to the relaxing Irish countryside. Choose forest greens, sky blues and sunny yellows. Other warm, earthy tones work well too. Shades of ombre, taupe, terracotta can make you feel like you’re wrapped up in a cosy cocoon.

What materials and furnishings work best?

 

The idea of Cottagecore is to make a contemporary space feel like it’s been lived in for centuries. So, you’ll want to avoid materials that look modern and new. Instead, go for wood, stone, or cotton – textures that express classic country style.

In a country kitchen, reclaimed wood countertops, hanging copper pots and pans, as well as floral under-sink curtain can introduce an authentic feel. A cosy reading nook couldn’t be more Cottagecore, layer the space with stripey linen cushions and soft quilted throws, surrounded by your favourite houseplants and dog-eared books.

Upcycling old furniture goes hand in hand with this interior trend, especially if there’s a few imperfections, which will only add to the Cottagecore aesthetic. Why not use up any leftover paint you have lying around?

You should also think about lighting. Accentuate natural light in your country cottage-inspired kitchen with sheer curtains or lightweight window coverings. Or use warmer lighting for a cosy, comforting living room where you can hunker down.
