Cottage+Academia Decor?

I was watching the EnglishSimmer review the upcoming content for the Animal Crossing New Horizons, thoroughly enjoying her excitement, when it got me thinking about design and décor and miniatures. 


Now I am wondering, what would a Cottage+Academia room look like?

I’ve seen mention of combining the two before, but . . . 


What substyles of Cottagecore and Academia would blend together best?

There are so many different variations. And each is going to blend differently with the others. 


Here is another question. What room in a house would best showcase this aesthetic combination? 


Maybe a study. Perhaps this will offer an opportunity to include my love of maps and globes in a miniature scene.

Wouldn’t that be fun.


How would you blend the two together? Would it be a 50/50 mix? What items would be included? 


With me, obviously tea of some kind. 

Plenty of books. 

Maybe some baked goods.

There are so many possibilities!

It just depends on the story I want to tell. 


These are questions I’d like to mull over for a bit. 


What are your thoughts?
