Wait Till You See These 50 Dreamy Cottages That’ll Make You Want to Ditch City Life ASAP

Quick little behind-the-scenes scoop: We chatted with Aline Carvalho, the brain behind the Facebook group 'Cottage Nature.' She started it as a fun hobby back in 2020, sharing all the best cozy, nostalgic, and feel-good nature and cottage pics she could find. Basically, she’s spreading the cozy vibes one photo at a time, and we’re here for it!

So why the big obsession with country life photos? Aline thinks it’s because city hustle wears people down. Those calm, chill countryside scenes help us slow down - giving us a tiny mental vacation, even if we’re stuck in traffic five miles away. Plus, the cottagecore trend is huge right now, making everyone want to bake bread, garden, and hang with nature.

When asked about favorite posts in her group, Aline just says she’s blown away daily by how many gorgeous and cozy pics pop up. The group’s all about keeping it real - nature, gardens, decorations, country life, and zero fake AI photos messing up the vibe. Authenticity is the name of the game.

Even if you don’t live in a fairytale cottage, this whole ‘cottagecore’ thing is booming online. Imagine people in pastel dresses baking sourdough, painting flowers in their gardens, and decorating with mushrooms and woodland plushies. It's all about slow-mo cozy living in the countryside, and it’s wildly popular.

And here’s a cool bonus: cottagecore isn’t just pretty pictures. It’s about loving nature, wasting less, and living sustainably. Growing your own veggies and fixing your stuff instead of buying new is part of the charm. You’re basically a nature superhero in comfy socks.

Living outside the city also sparks creativity. No constant noise means you actually hear your own thoughts - maybe even discover a new hobby or two when you’re not Netflixing for the hundredth time that week!

Wondering how to get that cottagecore look at home? Go for rustic, natural stuff - wood, linen, wool, stone. Grandma’s vintage tea cups and lace doilies are your new best friends. Earthy tones work, but don’t be shy with pastels and flowers to brighten the place up.

Bonus tip: Yard space? Use it! Backyard chickens, wildflowers, veggie patches, or even beekeeping if you’re feeling adventurous. Why not? Living the country dream means making the most of every inch of nature around you.

So, ready to fall even harder for these dreamy cottages? Keep scrolling, pick your faves, and imagine yourself moving in tomorrow. And hey, if you want more cozy home inspo after this, we’ve got plenty ready for you to dive into next.
