Cottagecore is one of the hottest design trends today. Think of a welcoming cottage in a pastoral landscape, full of the warmth of beautiful florals, quilts, rustic antiques, vintage rugs, and lots of nostalgia and romance.
We find that many interior designers are turning to Saltillo tile flooring and Talavera backsplashes as features around which to build the cottagecore design style. Reeso Tile offers one of the largest selections of both.

Cottagecore can be whimsical or evoke a peaceful European countryside. Cottagecore is cozy and casual. It should have a “lived-in” look, and often uses warm colors and living plants and flowers to enliven its spaces.
Texture and patterns are plentiful. Cottagecore uses a plethora of natural fabrics, dried flowers, vintage furniture, and unique or handcrafted décor.
Cottagecore is styled to remind us of a simpler life in a simpler time. But Cottagecore is not a minimalist design style. Rather it is built on a maximalist “more is more” viewpoint.
The Mexican tile we sell fits well with many variations on Cottagecore design. Because our Talavera tile is hand painted and the tiles display the irregularities of a product crafted by hand, it lends itself to the “homespun” vibe of Cottagecore. Talavera is colorful like a hand-stitched quilt. The designs can be either simple or complex. Often they feature natural elements like plants, flowers, birds or other animals.
Our Saltillo tile flooring also lends itself to a natural, hand-crafted look. The tile exhibits natural gradations in color and the uneven edges add to the look of something you might see in a cottage in the countryside. If you are aiming for a Mediterranean ambiance to your cottage-look, these tiles are a must. But even if creating an American homestead is the inspiration for your Cottagecore home, beautiful tile from Reeso Tile will add the crowning touch.
Below are a few examples of Talavera tile, including one beautiful tile mural, that would enhance a Cottagecore look. Click on the images to order these charming tiles or visit our Talavera Tile page to view the complete selection from Reeso Tiles.
