    31 Home Items From Target That’ll Help You Achieve The Cottagecore Aesthetic

    Cottagecore: An aesthetic focused on romanticizing a simpler life in nature. See also: Taylor Swift's entire Folklore era, elaborate picnics, flowy dresses, etc.

    1. A cable-knit throw blanket to curl up with at the end of a long day spent gardening (or daydreaming about gardening). Is cozycore a subculture of cottagecore? Because if so, I'm *totally* in!

    2. A hand-painted wooden plank that's perfect for the apartment-dweller who maybe doesn't have the best access to seeing wildlife right outside their window. Bird-watching just became a whole lot easier...

    3. A pair of mason jar wooden wall sconces to hold candles, plants, or whatever other rustic-inspired decor your heart desires.

    4. A decorative apple picking ladder that looks like something straight out of Beauty and the Beast. There's something sweet, and almost kind... about this ladder.

    5. A distressed windowpane-style wall mirror so you can gaze ~longingly~ out the window and romantically into your own eyes, all at once. Plus, the mirror has three hooks mounted on its bottom panel, so you can store your most rustic-chic belts and tote bags.

    6. A set of three rustic book boxes that marries your cottagecore and dark academia desires into an enchanting storage solution. Oh, the treasures I would hide in these...

    7. A kitchen conversion wall sign to help you with all that aesthetically pleasing bread you've committed to baking. Bonus points for the simple cuteness it'll add to your wall.

    8. A three-tiered wooden serving tray that can be used for anything, from actually serving food to serving as a quaint-yet-chic display area for all your nature knickknacks.

    9. A lace curtain valance set to let that dreamy early-morning light stream through your window. Now, you can finally get up at the crack of dawn, just like you've always wanted. That time of day is truly so peaceful... but at what cost??

    10. A woven seagrass basket with handles, so you can take care of your everyday storage needs while also getting the cohesive aesthetic your heart desires.

    11. A round frameless mirror with a decorative braided leather hanging strap that is such a clean and pleasing centerpiece for a wall, without being *too* overwhelming in its beauty.

    12. A gingham throw pillow to add a sprinkle of cuteness and a whole lot of comfort to your couch.

    13. A checkered wingback chair that's perfect for curling up by the fire (or TV) in.

    14. A TV stand with a built-in electric fireplace, so you can add a bit of cozy cabin vibes to your current place, in case you aren't residing in your ~dream cottage~ just yet.

    15. A faux-distressed oak wing chair to give you those warm, lived-in vintage furniture vibes — but without the stains, damage, or other problems that real vintage furniture often has.

    16. A pair of decorative "Farm Fresh" milk cans that will look just darling on your kitchen counter, regardless of how much cooking is *actually* going on in there.

    17. An expandable oval dining table with an antique finish, because you'll need extra space when you have all your friends over for that massive feast cooked almost entirely from the things you've grown in your garden. Or, you know, just for regular dinners, I guess...

    18. A pair of wooden spindle back dining chairs that are classically simple and yet so satisfyingly stylish.

    19. A set of three rustic wooden crates to give even the most urban apartment a classic farmhouse-feel.

    20. A tall farmhouse pantry that, once again, feels like something out of Beauty and the Beast... I think we can all officially declare Belle the most cottagecore Disney princess, right? Someone draft up a BuzzFeed poll right now to confirm...

    21. A wood and black steel coffee table, because living a bit more simply doesn't mean you need to give up the utterly unmatched pleasure of putting your feet up on the coffee table after a long day.

    22. A wood and black steel side table to hold your preferred afternoon beverage of choice (mine is iced coffee) while you curl up on the couch with a good book and enjoy the simple pleasures.

    23. A wooden Shaker dining bench for your entryway, so after a long afternoon of picking flowers, you have a spot to sit down and rest awhile with your basket full of lavender and... is this too specific an image? Have I lost you?

    24. A set of three hanging rope baskets that feel like quintessential ~casual cottagecore~ pieces. Bonus points for both cuteness AND versatility — they can hold jewelry, knickknacks, potted plants, a gorgeous pile of antique lace gifted to you by the old seamstress down the lane...

    the three baskets, each in a different color pattern

    25. A round antique-style serving tray, because, honestly, we should've never stopped using these in modern life. They are *so* convenient, and cute!

    26. An adjustable side crank table that vaguely reminds me of Sleeping Beauty...okay, Aurora is definitely competing with Belle for that cottagecore-princess crown.

    The side table

    27. A sliding barn door chalk board, so you can leave yourself helpful reminders to romanticize your life and enjoy the little things as much as possible. I know I could use those every once and awhile...

    28. A wood and metal farmhouse storage bench with compartments underneath to store your gardening tools, picnic supplies or *literally* whatever you like to do that gets you out into nature.

    29. A set of four rustic wooden wall crates, so you can store any wall decor that diverges from your place's overall cottagecore vibe (see: awkward family photos).

    30. An embroidered floral throw pillow for the nature lover whom nature does not love back: This pillow gives you the feeling of lying in a magical meadow (without any of the allergic reactions that usually come along with it).

    31. A simple and serene framed graphite sketch of a potted flower, because you know a cottagecore piece when you see one.
