What is Cutecore?
Cutecore is the playful side of interiors, pastel palettes, whimsical details, nostalgic sweetness and soft textures that create charm and comfort. Think ditsy florals, candy-inspired shades, bows and ruffles. This aesthetic turns bedrooms into cosy, safe havens filled with lightness.
It feels nostalgic yet fresh, combining gentle colours with grown-up styling. The bedroom becomes a place to lean into comfort and fun as autumn evenings grow longer.
The colours of Cutecore
At the heart of Cutecore are pastels, soft, uplifting shades that are easy to layer. These colours shine most through bedding and accessories.
- Pastel pinks, ditsy floral duvet covers or blush pillowcases set the mood.
- Lilac and lavender, a sweet accent in pillowcases or fitted sheets.
- Mint green, a refreshing pastel that balances pinks and yellows.
- Sunshine yellow, cheerful in cushions or as a fitted sheet highlight.

Cutecore through textiles, Leruum’s take
Bedding is the simplest way to achieve the look. Cotton percale makes the palette feel light, crisp, and practical, which makes it ideal for layering pastels and florals.
- Lilac Pink Ditsy Floral Percale Duvet Cover Set, tiny florals with a playful note.
- Sevilla Pink Floral Cotton Duvet Cover Set, romantic florals perfect for a whimsical mood.
- Add Oxford pillowcases in lavender, mint or soft yellow to complete the story. Mix with a pastel fitted sheet for a layered Cutecore base.
Styling tips, how to get the look
-
Mix prints with solids
Pair the Lilac Pink Ditsy Floral duvet cover with a plain mint or yellow fitted sheet. The balance keeps the look playful without excess. -
Layer colours
Use pastel Oxford pillowcases in lavender or blush to add depth. Place a soft pastel throw at the end of the bed for texture. -
Accessorise lightly
A small pastel cushion, a ruffled lampshade or a floral tie-back adds charm. Keep touches delicate so the bed remains the centrepiece. -
Keep the base simple
Crisp white percale sheets create a canvas for the pastel story. Build colour through layers and accents.
Why Cutecore works in autumn bedrooms
Cutecore may look spring-like, yet it brings warmth to autumn evenings. The palette is soft but comforting, emotional as well as visual. With breathable cotton at the centre, the look stays practical for the season’s cooler nights.
