Modern farmhouse vs Cottagecore: a conflict of identities, not ideals. Both modern farmhouse and cottagecore are rooted in their connection to nature with an eye for craftsmanship and homage to rustic, industrial detail through incorporations of wood, mixed metals, and greenery. To embody either style is to yearn for warmth and preservation - the soul of the countryside. Equally transitional and attainable, modern farmhouse and cottagecore diverge in their styling.

 

Modern Farmhouse touts a streamlined simplicity through tight neutral color stories, like white, cream, tan, and gray solid upholstery, whereas cottagecore tends to take more liberties through old-world accents and artwork, leaning into florals and embroidery with the intention of a look curated over time. Modern Farmhouse is clean, minimalist, open and methodical. Cottagecore is worn, romantic, pensive and kitschy. The best way to introduce any newfound style to your space is to start with your foyer or entryway.
