Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Cottagecore's cozy nature suits small spaces perfectly. Layer textiles, add botanical prints, include vintage pieces, and embrace the intimate cottage feeling. For a small home cafe: A small coffee station can be as simple as a dedicated counter section with a coffee maker, mug rack, and organized supplies. Even a cart can create a mobile café corner.
Large Space Tips
Large cottagecore spaces create multiple cozy zones—reading nooks, tea areas, garden rooms. Use textiles and furniture to create intimate areas within larger volumes. In a larger home cafe: Large home cafés can become full breakfast rooms with banquette seating, bistro tables, and comprehensive beverage stations rivaling commercial cafés.

Cottagecore is perfect for budget decorating—thrift vintage pieces, make dried flower arrangements, sew simple curtains from floral fabric, and forage natural elements. The handmade aesthetic suits DIY.
Luxury Approach
