Interior design is embracing a more feminine vibe, with trends like Barbiecore\u2019s pretty pinks, romcom core\u2019s main character energy, and coquette-inspired lace and bows. But the latest trend that\u2019s taking over is rufflecore<\/em>, a whimsical aesthetic that adds a soft, romantic touch to any space\u2014without being too over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its heart, rufflecore is all about creating dreamy, feminine spaces that feel playful yet cozy. It\u2019s not just about the look; it\u2019s about the energy. \u201cRuffles bring a softness that taps into feminine qualities like creativity, intuition, and nurturing,\u201d says Nancy Swanton, CEO of Abundant Home Design. \u201cWhen you introduce feminine elements into your space, it can shift your mindset and encourage a more positive, relaxed outlook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Rufflecore?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rufflecore isn\u2019t just about adding a few frilly details\u2014it’s a mix of romantic styles with a touch of maximalism. Think of the charming elements of cottagecore<\/em>, with its floral patterns and pastel colors, combined with touches of regency<\/em> decor, and a playful abundance of ruffles. This style is perfect for small spaces, like apartments or cozy bedrooms, where you can really go all in with the details without it feeling too crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other romantic trends, rufflecore is more than just d\u00e9cor\u2014it\u2019s a lifestyle. \u201cRuffles are trending because they balance softness, femininity, and movement,\u201d explains Swanton. \u201cIn today\u2019s world, where people are craving comfort and emotional connection, ruffles offer a sense of warmth and nostalgia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Add Rufflecore to Your Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To bring rufflecore to life in your home, start by embracing the ruffles themselves. Think lacy bed skirts, blankets, and cushions. You can also add skirts to your couches and chairs for a subtle ruffled effect in your living and dining areas. To keep the vibe feminine, choose soft pastel colors like blush pinks and lavender, or light neutrals like whites and creams to create a soft, romantic backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floral patterns are also key to rufflecore, with floral wallpaper making a bold statement. If you\u2019re renting or prefer something less permanent, removable wallpaper or floral throw pillows and curtains work just as well. Swap out prints seasonally to keep things feeling fresh\u2014add lighter, breezy patterns for spring and summer, and cozier textures for fall and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to add ruffles to an existing space, Swanton suggests balancing the softness of ruffles with sleek, modern elements like metallic finishes or leather. This creates an elevated aesthetic that isn\u2019t too whimsical but still embodies the femininity of the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, trust your instincts and design your space with intention. \u201cYour environment shapes your emotions, and your emotions play a big role in manifesting your desires,\u201d says Swanton. \u201cBy creating a space that feels comforting, beautiful, and elegant, you align your surroundings with the energy of abundance and positivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, whether you\u2019re going all-in with rufflecore or just adding a soft touch, remember that your home should reflect the dreamy, playful life you want to create.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
