The pandemic realigned our focus with what’s important to us and many found a deep longing for simpler times and home décor that really speaks to who we are – hence the cottagecore trend was born! Cottagecore romanticises a back-to-nature concept centered around wholesome pastimes, handmade crafts, dainty florals and traditional ways. It is an escapism from a world filled with heavy technology influence and captures the fantasy of running away to a cottage in a meadow of flowers without needing to leave our actual reality.
