Cottagecore Guest Room Ideas

Why Cottagecore Works for Guest Rooms
Cottagecore can work well in a guest room when you balance the style's core elements with the room's functional needs. Focus on romantic florals while ensuring the space still serves its purpose: guest rooms provide comfortable accommodations for overnight visitors. they should make guests feel welcome and at home while often serving secondary functions (office, hobby space) when not hosting. Select materials like Cotton and linen or Vintage fabrics that can handle the demands of this room.
When designing a cottagecore guest room, consider making the room feel welcoming, not neglected. Cottagecore design typically addresses this through vintage and antique pieces. Also keep in mind the room's bedside reading lamps and empty closet space with hangers when selecting furniture and finishes.
