Add Autumn Accents and Patterns
Patterns play a big role in cottagecore decor, especially in the fall. Plaid, gingham, and floral designs on tablecloths, curtains, or rugs are perfect for the season.

Create a Cozy Reading Nook
Cottagecore is all about cozy spaces to relax in, and a reading nook is a great way to add this to your home. Find a comfy corner and decorate it with soft blankets, velvet cushions, and maybe even a woolen pouf. A cozy armchair or a vintage rocking chair can be your go-to spot for relaxing. Add a small wooden side table or an old lamp for extra charm.
Don’t forget to add your favorite books, a cute mug for tea or coffee, and a small rug to make the space feel even cozier. Hang some nature-inspired artwork or plant prints nearby to bring that cottagecore feeling to life.
Add Fall Scents for Extra Warmth
Bring fall scents into your home to make everything feel even more cozy. Essential oil diffusers with warm scents like cedarwood, clove, or orange can create a soothing atmosphere. You can also try making your own simmer pot with spices like cinnamon and cloves, combined with some citrus peels. It’ll make your home smell amazing!
You can even freshen up your linens with lavender sachets or cedar blocks, or use autumn-scented sprays for a quick refresh.
DIY Fall Decor for a Personal Touch
One of the best things about cottagecore is the love for handmade decor. Try making your own fall decorations! A simple DIY project could be creating a wreath with dried leaves, pinecones, and twine to hang on your front door or above the fireplace.
Autumn garlands are another fun craft. Use dried flowers, acorns, and fabric leaves to make a garland to hang on your mantel or staircase. You can even sew or embroider your own table runners, pillow covers, or napkins with fall fabrics for a personal touch.
Create a Cottagecore Fall Tablescape
A fall tablescape is a beautiful way to embrace the season and bring cottagecore into your dining room. Start with a tablecloth or runner with warm, earthy tones and autumn patterns. You can layer different patterns to add depth and texture.
Use vintage or handmade dinnerware to set the table. Mismatched plates, glasses, and silverware give a charming and eclectic look. For a centerpiece, try a wooden bowl filled with fall fruits like apples and pears, with small vases of fresh or dried flowers for color.
Candles are a must for creating that warm, cozy vibe. Vintage candle holders or handmade ones are great for adding personality. You can also scatter small pumpkins or gourds around the centerpiece for that extra autumn touch.
This fall, turn your home into the cozy escape you deserve! By adding soft, warm touches and embracing the beauty of cottagecore, you can create a space that feels welcoming and peaceful. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make it your own - every little detail counts.
