Select materials like Cotton and linen or Vintage fabrics that can handle the demands of this room.
When designing a cottagecore walk-in closet, consider maximizing every inch of space. Cottagecore design typically addresses this through vintage and antique pieces. Also keep in mind the room's bright, true-color lighting (daylight bulbs) and hanging clothing (short and long) when selecting furniture and finishes.

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 walk-in closet: Small walk-ins (5x5 to 6x8 feet) use walls efficiently: L-shaped or U-shaped layouts. Double hanging maximizes vertical space. Every item needs its designated spot. Skip center islands.
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 walk-in closet: Large walk-ins (10x12+ feet) become dressing rooms: center islands with drawers, seating areas, extensive shoe display, dedicated accessory storage, and boutique-like presentation.
Budget-Friendly
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
Source museum-quality antiques, commission handmade textiles, collect fine vintage pottery, and create complete romantic cottage environments.
