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.
