Are you looking to add a vintage-inspired twist to your home? If so, then the cottagecore aesthetic is perfect for you!

Cottagecore decor has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and it’s getting increasingly more adapted to the Millennial pop culture taste. What this means is that a new wave of modern cottagecore has come, with its minimalist fashion and different idea of shabby chic interior decor.

This aesthetic combines elements from the rustic countryside with a modern, pastel-heavy design.

To have this look in your home, it’s just to combine some old school cottagecore decor with Millennial style motivational posters.

Yes, you get to have some aesthetic quotes on your walls, and call that cottagecore.

Here are some of our favorite cottagecore quotes that you can take to a commission with your favorite graphic designer, or just to online tools like Canva. All these are a bit spicy and all in all perfect for framed wall art.

I’ll mix in some ready made cottagecore quotes for the wall, just for your inspiration.
