We’re never too old to stop believing in fairytales. You can grant yourself full permission to fill your imagination with magic and play when using this Fairycore Aesthetic. This trend has pleasantly graced the design world with muted pastels, imaginary creatures, forest scenes, and anything and everything etherial.

Naturally, fairycore is closely tied to beautiful landscapes as told in the fairytales we grew up reading. It incorporates mysticism of far away lands of magic. Fairycore can be a mix of natural elements along with sprinkles of glitter, psychedelic elements, and touches of make-believe.

Along with any other trend, Fairycore is versatile enough to be split up into 3 subthemes which are Classic Fairytales, Psychedelic Fantasy, and Fairy Woodlands. Follow along each mood board to see how these are categorized with corresponding products you can use to incorporate this Fairycore Aesthetic into your next design project.

Classic Fairytales

Classic Fairytales enchant us with its nostalgic nature of magical princesses and sparkling fairies. This subtheme is all about feminine colors, romantic floral patterns, and watercolor textures. It has the power to infuse any design project with mysticism, magic and happily ever after’s.

Psychedelic Fantasy

Our next theme, Psychedelic Fantasy, represents this aesthetic with eccentric expression. This closely relates to the scenes in Alice in Wonderland with vibrant colors, magical forests, and surreal hallucinations. It has one foot in the real world while combining magical elements throughout. Psychedelic Fantasy can make you wonder what is reality.

Fairy Woodlands

Fairytales as we know them have always been set in beautiful nature scenes. This subtheme is all about embracing the forest scenery that seems to be where fairies call home. Here in the Fairy Woodlands, we are incorporating the cooler seasons of Autumn and Winter with different design elements. There are touches of gold glitter, autumn leaves, and magical scenes.
