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.
