Cottagecore trend gains traction as younger generations seek simpler lifestyles

The cottagecore trend is gaining popularity, especially among younger generations, as they seek traditional decor and a simpler lifestyle. This movement reflects a desire to escape the fast-paced hustle culture. A recent survey by B&Q shows millennials are embracing cottagecore by learning traditional cooking skills and incorporating retro farmhouse aesthetics into their homes. They blend old-fashioned elements with modern conveniences. The trend is also influencing younger demographics, with initiatives like Edinburgh University’s cottagecore guide for new students. This includes activities like crafting and tea quizzes, highlighting a growing interest in domesticity and nature.
