Layers of Goodness: Easy Cottagecore Spring Decor Idea

👋 Hi friends! Jordan here from Be Made…

If you’ve been searching for cottagecore spring decor ideas, this is your sign to keep it simple, layered, and full of charm.

Spring decorating doesn’t have to mean a full home overhaul. Sometimes the sweetest refresh comes from building one thoughtful, layered centerpiece that feels collected, cozy, and completely you. Today’s idea? A tiered metal tray styled with candle rings (wreaths) and the softest cottagecore touches.

It’s easy. It’s fun. And it’s endlessly rebuildable.

The Base: A Tiered Tray for Layered Spring Decor

Our White Two Tiered Tray instantly creates height and movement — two key elements in layered spring decor. Whether your style leans farmhouse, vintage-inspired, or full cottagecore aesthetic, this base works beautifully.

Place it on:

  • A dining table for a cottagecore spring centerpiece

  • A kitchen island for everyday charm

  • An entryway console to welcome the season

The vertical layers do most of the work for you. We love decor that pulls its weight.

The Heart of It: Layer Your Candle Rings (It’s Easier Than It Looks)

Here’s the simple trick to building a layered cottagecore spring centerpiece with a two-tier metal tray:

Start by unscrewing the top section of your tiered tray. Most metal tier trays easily come apart in sections — just twist gently and set the top aside.

  1. Place your larger candle ring wreath directly onto the bottom base.
    For this look, we used the Pink Thimble Buds Candle Ring — a soft cottagecore spring/summer wreath with delicate pink buds for just the right touch of color. It adds charm without overwhelming the space.

  2. Once the larger wreath is in place, screw the second tier back on, tightening slowly and evenly.

  3. Now add your smaller taper candle ring wreath to the upper level.
    We chose the Eucalyptus Taper Candle Ring, a perfectly neutral green that works across all design styles and every season. It’s subtle, fresh, and timeless.

  4. Finally, screw the top piece back on and tighten slowly until secure.

That’s it. No floral foam. No hot glue. No complicated arranging.

Just simple layers — one wreath per tier — creating height, texture, and that cozy cottagecore spring decor look everyone loves.

The mix of the soft pink floral candle ring below and the neutral eucalyptus taper ring above gives you that “collected but effortless” feel. It works for spring, carries beautifully into summer, and can easily be refreshed with new wreaths as the seasons change.

And the best part? You can take it apart and rebuild it anytime you’re ready for something new.

Add Personality: Cottagecore Figurines & Small Details

Now for the magic touch.

Tuck in a small bunny, a sweet chick, or even a tiny goose for that farmhouse cottagecore vibe. These little figurines turn your tray from “decor” into a story.

Add a candle in the center of each wreath for glow.
Layer in a small stack of vintage-style books.
Place a petite bowl of speckled eggs.

And just like that — you’ve created a DIY cottagecore spring centerpiece that looks styled and intentional… without feeling complicated.
