How to get the cottagecore look at home If you love wildflowers, crafting, embroidery, plants and a fairy tale-like esthetic, the cottagecore look may be right for you. This trendy style evokes the atmosphere, lifestyle and romanticism of English country houses. Fortunately, you don’t have to live in a literal cottage to get the look. Here’s how to bring this design style into your home.

THE WALLS To create a dreamy and poetic atmosphere, paint the walls in pastel tones. Alternatively, apply a flowery wallpaper. Just make sure the print isn’t too busy, as this can overwhelm the space. THE FLOOR Whether it’s wood or ceramic, light flooring is a good fit for the cottagecore look. If you add a rug, consider choosing a white or beige macramé model. THE FURNITURE Wood, wicker, rattan and other natural materials contribute to a country esthetic. Look for chairs, tables, beds and other furniture made of these materials.Vintage and antique pieces are also on theme.
THE ACCENTS Floral prints and botanical fabrics will set the right tone. Plants are a must, but consider incorporating dried or fresh flowers into the space as well. Handmade items, vintage dishware and folk art pieces are also a good fit.
2. Hang shelves. Install them above the stove, fridge, countertop and doorway. Shelves provide an easy storage solution for spices, bins of pasta, candy containers, fresh herbs and more.
To create the cottagecore look in your home, visit shops and antique dealers in your area.

If you’re building a walk-in closet, it’s worth designing one that truly meets all your needs. Here are four reasons a custombuilt closet is better than a pre-fabricated one. 1. It’s exactly what you want. Your closet designer will take into account how much space you need to hang all your clothes, whether you need bars of different heights to accommodate longer pieces and how many shelves you’ll need for your shoes and accessories. 2. Everything has a place. It’s easier to keep a space organized when it’s designed to accommodate your specific belongings. Furthermore, extras like laundry hampers

and jewelry storage help keep things tidy. 3. It provides a private place to dress. If you live in a bustling household, turn your walk-in closet into a small sanctuary. Include a vanity and mirror to transform the space into a private dressing room. 4. It eliminates clutter. A well-designed walk-in closet can reduce the need for extra furniture in the room and provide extra storage for your things. To make the most of your walk-in closet, use the space wisely. This can include placing shelves above the rods to hold accessories and drawers below them to store clothes that can’t be hung.
