As we’ve discussed on multiple occasions, interior design trends are fluid, and they change and evolve with time. The latest evolution, which we’re going to look at today, focuses around the increasingly popular cottagecore trend with a fun, youthful twist. Candy floss cottagecore is full of whimsy and fun that adds a modern edge to a historically classic style.

What is candy floss cottagecore?

Candy floss cottagecore style

Candy floss cottagecore is the elegant fusion of cosy cottagecore with joyful, juicer, candy floss style colours that you might previously expected to see in a cottagecore home. Sage green gives way to lime, dark red is replaced with juicy pink and butter yellows become lemon. 

While the colours change, the core principles of cottagecore remain. The foundation of cottagecore is still to reconnect with simpler times and unwind. 

Soft furnishings

Soft furnishings are one of the simplest ways to add cottagecore to a space. Patterned curtains are a great and easy starting place, especially when you layer a window with them and a beautiful Roman blind. This partnership will manifest a feeling of depth and comfort helping you comfortably chill out. 

From this basis, we can start to think about our candy floss colours and how to maximise our modern take on this traditionally inspired trend!

How to make a candy floss cottagecore space

The first step for candy floss cottagecore is to make the room feel soft and elegant before introducing the iconic candy floss shades. Shades of ever so slightly off white, grey, and pure white are brilliant foundational colours from which you can add and enhance your candy floss colours.

Candy floss colours

Candy floss colours are varied and exciting. To enjoy la dolce vita in your home, look for inspiration from classical sweets that don’t just include candy floss, but also include good old dolly mixtures, candy canes and Miss Truly Scrumptious’ toot sweets! 

Fruity shades

Some of the best options include shades closely related to different fruits, from citrus lemons and greens through to juicy reds, purples and blues, there is a fantastic variety of candy floss shades which you can enjoy at home.

While you can mix and match different tones into a riot of sweet colour, one piece of advice is to not go totally overboard. Remember, as much as this trend is about candy floss colours, it also must retain the philosophy of cottagecore. 

Candy coloured home decor

As a result, look to neat roller blinds or Roman blinds for your windows, and add a delicate smattering of cushions in juicy, candy shades. Presenting these colours using checks and other geometric patterns that also feature white will help you enjoy a delicious finish.

Think of archetypal lollipops when it comes to colour. The intermittent use of white and a bold colour is iconic and when used well, will add a perfect finish for a candy floss cottagecore space!

Candy floss cottagecore is fun, dynamic and will energise any home. By taking advantage of this trend, you’ll be able to relax and refresh in effortless style! To help find the right fabrics for your candy floss cottagecore home, you can order up to eight free samples from the website!
