Modern Cottage: Everything you need to nail this style!

February 24, 2025 · In: Interior Design

I can’t tell you how excited I am about this style! When we first walked through our home, I instantly fell in love with its cottage charm—cozy, defined spaces, big windows, and the most beautiful views of our intimate garden. It had that warm, inviting feel I adore, but I also have a deep love for modern design. Over the past eight years, we’ve worked to blend these two aesthetics, creating what I now call Modern Cottage. To me, it’s the perfect marriage of cozy charm and fresh, modern style!

So, what exactly is Modern Cottage? It’s all about bringing the warmth and character of a traditional cottage into a space that feels updated, stylish, and effortlessly livable. Think vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and open floor plans balanced with the textures, layers, and details that make a home feel loved and lived in. It’s neutral color palettes, vintage-inspired pieces mixed with modern touches, and thoughtful details that create a space that’s both beautiful and practical.

So how do you bring the Modern Cottage look to life in your own home? It’s all about the mix! Pair classic tufted furniture with clean lined tables. Bring in warm wood tones to soften clean lines. Layer in natural textiles—linen curtains, plush pillows, woven rugs—for that irresistibly cozy, lived-in vibe. Lighting is a game-changer in this style, too. Champagne brass, soft nickel, or matte black fixtures add just the right amount of contrast and character. And, of course, no modern cottage is complete without the finishing touches—stacks of books, cozy blankets, and fresh flowers that make the space feel curated and deeply personal.

Whether you’re drawn to English country charm, Scandinavian simplicity, or a rustic-modern fusion, Modern Cottage offers endless ways to create a home that feels warm, inviting, and uniquely yours. And that’s what makes this style so special—it’s not about following trends, but about crafting a space that truly feels like home.

I’d love to hear—do you lean more cottage, more modern, or somewhere in between? Let’s chat in the comments!

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
