The cottage core aesthetic of the farmhouse aesthetics essentially embraces and propagates a rural and nature embracing the theme. It promotes living in harmony with nature and blurs the boundaries between the indoors and  outdoors.  

The idea behind cottage core is to create a nostalgic and comforting space that is a nestle away from city life. In terms of interior design, the cottage core or country life is all about creating a home that draws from nature and nostalgia to create a cosy and warm home that one can truly unwind in. 

We can never get over the farmhouse aesthetics of the hues of the simplistic countryside lifestyle. It is decadent, light and brethren with neutral shades to give the countryside looks. 

Incorporating country life into your home is rather simple and bound to have a rewarding outcome. In our busy lives, our homes need to be the space where we pause and relax, our oasis of freshness amongst our tech-ridden lives. The farmhouse aesthetic helps the space do just that by developing a comforting atmosphere. There are a lot of different things you can do to blend country living with your home’s interior. Here is how you can achieve the look for your house.

RECLAIMED WOODEN EMBRACE

When it comes to the rustic farmhouse aesthetic, the rugged reclaimed furniture, vintage detailings and leftover wood work best for the decor. For instance, timber is a material that is featured a lot in this aesthetic’s design. As a way to bring in nature as well as retain the earthy vibe, wood was used all over the space. For the texture to make an impact, it wasn’t altered rather maintained and accentuated through paints and polishes.

This helped show off the natural grain and pattern of wood in the space while also keeping it aesthetically prime.

Use reclaimed wood to give the criss-cross wooden roofing, exposed wooden headboard in the bedroom paired with throw boho-chic finish coverings would make the interiors highlight the aesthetic very well 

GINGHAM IN THE KITCHEN

Gingham used to be the highlight of the early 20th century sweet American interior decor. Gingham or the chequered pattern has been modernised into the black and white monochromatic floorings and high end patterned walls of some of the most famous buildings of the world.

However the original white and other bright contrasting colour is highly used to represent the country's aesthetics. From picnic baskets to the ruffled dinner table coverings, gingham is a pleasing pattern that would always look lovely with a cheese spread. 

COUNTRY KITCHEN 

The famous kitchen island with the open flooring plan that is adjacent to the living or dinner table is the highlight of this aesthetic.

An open floor plan and mixing it with the table that can host gatherings and guests over is the hook you want to nail with this aesthetic. Open shelving is the new modular kitchen aesthetic. The use of rattan and wicker pieces are already making waves in interior design. With all the talk of sustainability and biophilic centered designs, rattan pieces are being increasingly picked by consumers and designers. 

EXPOSED FURNITURE FOR THE FARMHOUSE

Most of the pictures that we see of the farmhouses have one thing in common. None of the furniture is entirely polished into a modern piece of decor nor is it over the top. It is a simpler format when it comes to furniture decor. It is plain, clean-cut, exposed and rugged at best. 

Exposed brick walls, chimneys, stacked firewood, exposed ceilings and roofing are some of the features of a farmhouse that you can incorporate into your interiors. opt for upholstered rattan couches in your living room, a rattan coffee table, dinette set, patio furniture or simply go for woven rattan decor pieces to accentuate your walls and tables

WARM HUES FOR THE WALLS

Honeycomb inspired warm colours that are paired with a heavy cream beige sound like a dish but it's really the colour palette for the walls. Really, representative of the easy-going and breezy country life, farmhouse aesthetic lovers crave the lovely neutrals that have warmer undertones.

Natural lighting, large windows, open spaces, open cabinets and kitchens, larger room for the traffic and lesser furniture in the rooms are the catchy decor specifics we see on the gram. Taking cues from nature, one could use colors like green, blue, orange, yellow, brown, beige, cream etc to get the look.

OPULENT MAGNUM OPUS

Let's skip to the good part, which is mainly the decor we want. Exposed wall mirrors, gallery wall, lanterns, boho-chic coverings, furry rugs, and lots of warm and soft coverings and layering is the only way you would want your interiors to be influenced by the farmhouse accents. Elments like exposed brick, wooden beams, exposed concrete beams and pebbles were also rather popular

The very idea of country life inspired interior design is to create a space that is cosy and an escape from the modernist lifestyle we all live. Therefore, it is important to prioritize comfort above all.
