What is the Cottagecore Aesthetic?<\/h2>\n
Quite simply, the cottagecore aesthetic is a move away from the modern, fast-paced lifestyle \u2013 it\u2019s warm, inviting spaces, it\u2019s picnics in the woods, it\u2019s fresh flowers on your table or snuggling up on the sofa and reading a book. Similar to the Scandinavian concept of hygge, it is the embodiment of cosiness. When you step into your house, there is a sense of nostalgia, a leaning towards simplicity, a movement away from screens, technology and stress.<\/p>\n
