Cottagecore Cosiness

Cottagecore is a trend that has emerged last year but continues to sweep social media.  Search #cottagecore on Instagram and Pinterest to see an influx of inspirational images championing this look. 

This homely look is perfect for places with character, whether it’s a period property or a country cottage. The style is enhanced by traditional touches, such as parquet flooring, exposed beams and bare brick. This works well in places like Dunedin and the outskirts with so many gorgeous Old Villas and Cribs.

Style with a mix of vintage and new home buys ( good old K Mart to the rescue to add charm)

This trend reflects a common need for comfort and cosiness , especially now as our Autumn fades and Winter approaches but with a touch of elegance and an almost British quirkiness’ ( anybody want a cup of tea )

‘Think quaint patterns, leafy, nature-inspired prints, gold accessories and cute ornaments to add a splash of personality to your home.’ Here at Designs by Default we have a range of quirky fabrics that meet this need in our cushion range.
