As winter turns to spring, it can feel tempting to bust out of hibernation with a full slate of social engagements and ambitious spring cleaning plans. But this year, a new springtime trend is emerging: making space to slow down.

And nothing embodies the vibe more than cottagecore. This season, spring decor is focusing on simplicity, mindfulness, and slow-living, a la farmhouse and Scandinavian-inspired styles.

To show you how to put the look together, we styled this dreamy bedroom using cottagecore gems from Walmart. Scroll down for more photos of the space, and all the links to snag these steals for yourself.

The bed

The focal point of any bedroom is the bed, of course. Embrace a springtime slowdown with yours by adding lots of light layers, floral pillows, natural textures, and accoutrements for relaxation. Coffee in bed, anyone?

The night stand

The bed's sidekick should be equally equipped for moments of mindfulness. Think: swapping screen time for a physical book, lighting a candle, or literally stopping to smell the flowers.
