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 dining room: Small dining rooms need appropriately scaled tables—a round 48-inch table seats 4-6 comfortably. Use a bench on one side to save space. Skip the buffet or use a slim console. Mirrors expand the sense
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 dining room: Large dining rooms can accommodate 10+ seat tables, full buffet setups, and display cabinets. Consider two chandeliers or a dramatic single fixture for very large tables.
