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!

Guys!! I’m so happy right now I’m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! I’m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload I’d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like I’ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it won’t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says “welcome home!” I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
