However, flowers are not just for accent. You can even use wildflowers in a rusted pot or even freshly picked flowers to decorate the kitchen counter. This will give you the illusion that you freshly picked some flowers from your walk in the woods.
3. Accent Walls & Lights
Accent walls are not that common. However, someone who is following the cottagecore aesthetic should know that a kitchen is the heart of everything in cottage life. An accent wall o shelf with a vintage kitchenette collection is not very uncommon for them. You can try an accent wall of vintage pictures portraying the cottage life, or you can even have just one wall painted in the theme if you do not want your entire kitchen to look like that.
Lights, on the other hand, also play a major role in bringing all the nuanced natural cottagecore feel. Lamp shades are made of old cloth or bamboo shoots. Long stem candles for the counter can make a lot of difference. If you are a baker and wish to get into the feel of it, then get some linen aprons as well.
4. Copper & Glass
These are the two elements which can bring out the cottagecore in your kitchen the most. Ditch the expensive containers or the plastics, and stack up your entire cabinet with glass jars, coffee, tea, and spices with them.
This will also give a witchy theme to your cottagecore, as it is one of the sub-genre of the aesthetic. Now, copper pots and pan hanging in your kitchen shouts cottagecore, and they are not just for decor; you can also cook your delicious meals in them.
