Cottagecore

Cottagecore centres an imagined cottage life around gardening, baking and making things by hand. Florals, linen, wood and gentle rural light create warmth and slowness in online imagery, presenting a selective pastoral ideal rather than a complete documentary account of living in the countryside.
