Dark cottagecore is a whimsical internet aesthetic that celebrates the natural world, embracing the dark and mysterious side of nature. It features moody, natural colors and earthy patterns, with themes ranging from rich wildflower florals and woodland creatures to magical patterns. It is the perfect style for creating a cosy and relaxing sleeping space. These dark cottagecore bedding ideas include a wide range of items such as duvet covers, cushions, and throws – if you love nature-inspired décor, I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like!
While there are many options on the market for dark cottagecore bedding, it’s nice to support independent sellers over large chain stores where possible. In this post, I’ve included a combination of affordable and more expensive eco-friendly/ ethical options to suit a variety of budgets.

Floral print duvet covers
These floral duvet covers have a beautiful, farmhouse-inspired feel. I can picture myself coming home from a day of picking strawberries or apples and curling up in one of them with a good book. I love the vintage look of the Liberty Duvet set by poppyandhonesty, and the modern take on this same style by Duvetcover3dstore is also charming!
Rustic hemp/ linen bedding
Hemp and linen bedding are both incredibly soft and breathable, making them ideal for a good night’s sleep. Their natural look also lends itself perfectly to the dark cottagecore style. If you’re seeking a whimsical and woodsy feel, I love this mushroom print bedding by Grannethome. Alternatively, for a more toned-down and minimalist vibe, this earthy green hemp duvet cover from Marupelinenhouse is a fantastic option.
Dark Cottagecore Throws
Are you looking for a quick and easy way to elevate your existing bedding sets? Throw blankets are a great way to switch up your bedding from season to season without needing multiple duvet sets, which are often costly and take up lots of storage space. Throws also incredibly versatile; you can use them not only on your bed, but on sofas or even as wall hangings. I can just imagine this unicorn tapestry piece beautifully strewn over a four-poster bed or hanging on a dark green wall.
Cushions
One of the easiest and most affordable ways to give your bedding a dark cottagecore look is through pillows/ cushions. There are so many imaginative designs to choose from! With an intricate mushroom design and elegant ruffled edges, this linen cushion by Grannethome would be a beautiful addition to any bedding set. It would pair beautifully with a plain black, green, orange, or white duvet cover and pillows.
Dark Cottagecore blankets
Why not add more layers to your bed in the autumn and winter with a practical but beautiful blanket? This mystical moon phase blanket by firelightdesigns is perfect for anyone who loves celestial themes and forest green colours. Alternatively, if you prefer a more natural look, you might be interested in this fawn blanket via BlissandBoundless. It is made of soft minky fabric and features a realistic faux deer print in a muted brown colour.
