These adorable cottagecore wallpaper finds will complete your whole aesthetic

By

Cottagecore is an increasingly popular aesthetic inspired by rural and farm lifestyles. There’s also a touch of whimsy to cottagecore, drawing inspiration from fairies, gnomes, and witches of your favorite fairytales. Just because this style is trending on Instagram these days doesn’t exactly mean that people are ditching their tech and heading for the countryside.

When applied to home design, this style embraces a sustainable lifestyle that is in tune with nature, mimicking traditional English countryside dress and decor. To truly embrace the style and natural decadence of simpler times, you need stylish and exciting wallpaper to transform your home into the modern cottage of your dreams.

Neutral colors like gray and taupe are always popular options for your home's interior design. Both are versatile shades that can go with a plethora of other hues, which means you can easily change up the look of your decor with gray walls and a rotating rainbow of accessories like colorful throw pillows. With all the different shades of gray paint available, from matte to glossy, warm to cool, and brownish to blueish, it's certainly possible to find the one that's perfect for you and your home.
