6. Incorporate Indoor Plants and Wildflowers
Nature is the heart of cottage core design, which is why plants and flowers are essential decorating elements. Indoor greenery makes spaces feel fresh, calming, and connected to the outdoors.
Wildflowers are especially popular because they look natural and effortless. Simple bouquets in mason jars, ceramic pitchers, or glass bottles create beautiful cottage-inspired arrangements.
Popular cottage core plants include ivy, pothos, ferns, lavender, eucalyptus, and herbs like rosemary or basil. These plants not only look beautiful but also make rooms feel peaceful and alive.
Window sills, shelves, kitchen counters, and bedside tables are perfect places for displaying plants. Hanging plants can also make spaces feel dreamy and whimsical.
Dried flowers are another wonderful option because they last longer and add vintage charm. Lavender bundles, dried roses, and wheat arrangements create soft rustic beauty throughout the home.
The goal is not to create perfect floral arrangements but rather natural-looking displays that feel organic and simple.
