When you think "cottage" you probably think of fairy tales or your grandma's house. There's something utterly nostalgic about the idea of a cozy cottage, and you can't help but smell cookies baking or think of crisp air rustling through trees outside. The modern cottage style is all of those feelings but updated to feel a little more relevant in the here-and-now.

Jersey Ice Cream Company

While modern cottage style doesn't necessarily mean an actual cottage, it is a decor style that lends a certain feeling and has a few key elements. A welcoming, homey look reminiscent of decades past, modern cottage is a trend we're certain to see more of in the years ahead.

What Is Modern Cottage?

There is no textbook definition for modern cottage, but it is considered a decor style that borrows from architectural and design styles of the traditional cottage with modern elements woven in.

The History of Modern Cottage

There is not a clear timeframe for the inception of the term "modern cottage," but according to Google Trends, the phrase has risen in popularity since mid-2019. That said, modern cottage style draws upon elements of traditional cottage decor, which dates back to 19th century England. Though the word "cottage" can be traced back as far as the Middle Ages to describe small abodes similar to a hut, it is more commonly used to describe a quaint, two-story home, often with just four rooms.

Since the 2000s, modern farmhouse style has grown in popularity, thanks in part to shows like HGTV's "Fixer Upper." We think of the modern cottage style as an evolution of modern farmhouse that incorporates many of the same elements but embraces quaintness. It's a little more rooted in the country aesthetic with traditional English elements but still maintains a similar feel.

Cottages are traditionally considered country homes and sometimes thought of as a second home. They often have stone exteriors, a pitched roof, and small interior rooms. The modern cottage look embraces the antique aesthetic, but folds in modern elements such as moody paint colors, reclaimed wooden pieces, and chunky textiles. The goal is always comfort when it comes to modern cottage, and every room should be styled in a way that feels homey and welcoming.

Key Elements of Modern Cottage

When decorating in a modern cottage style, consider the following elements to evoke the look. That said, this decor style is a fluid one, so you should make it your own.

Common Materials in Modern Cottage Decor

Blue Cooper Design

Traditionally, cottage-style homes incorporate natural materials such a stone and wood. When it comes to modern cottage style, focus on natural materials over manmade. Think real wood pieces, exposed brick, and stone in the bathroom.

Vintage pieces are popular in modern cottage style, with a focus on "old meets new." For example, try incorporating a vintage lamp with a modern leather sofa or chair. Modern cottage can sometimes feel a bit eclectic with a mix of materials and pieces, but they should all feel purposeful and cozy. Avoid more stark or cold materials such as metal and plastic.

The best thing about modern cottage style is that it's an aesthetic you can truly make your own. Because it's more about a nostalgic feel and a sense of warmth than it is a cut-and-dry list of features, you can incorporate many of the common features in your home however you see fit.

Home » Havenly Posts » Design 101 » Meet Modern Cottage: The New Take on Farmhouse Style That’s *Very* On-Trend

Like us, you’ve probably noticed a new design movement unfolding online and IRL. It involves sink-into-me furniture, organic textures like linen and wood, and vintage accents (like Persian rugs) alongside edgier sculptural pieces. It’s a little country, a little modern, and there’s a lot to love about it. We’re calling it “Modern Cottage,” and it’s basically a chicer, more elevated interpretation of farmhouse style. 

Don’t get this confused with cottagecore, which is much more whimsical (and involves all things floral). Rather, Modern Cottage combines the rustic and welcoming sensibilities of countryside living with contemporary twists that feel undeniably cool. The end result is a liveable, original space that prioritizes warmth, comfort, and style. 

Ahead, find everything you need to know about the trending aesthetic, plus tips and inspiration directly from our lead designers.

The evolution of “Modern Cottage”

First things first: Where did Modern Cottage come from? As mentioned above, this emerging aesthetic takes inspiration from classic farmhouse style, which is warm, homespun, and comforting. But true to form, this look has evolved considerably and has only gotten more elevated with each passing year.

Design by Melissa Wagner, Havenly lead designer

Why we’re loving it

This aesthetic is truly a best-of-both-worlds situation: it combines the hospitality, comfort, and rustic warmth of farmhouse style with the edge and sophistication of modern design. Rather than being too much of one thing, it thrives on contrast. Think: a vintage wooden bookshelf lined with antique books framed by a marble plinth coffee table and a bouclé accent chair. It’s equal parts welcoming and aspirational; liveable and original; cozy and unequivocally cool. It embraces imperfections and feels perfectly “lived-in” without being too kitschy.

When we decide to build our own house, we don't even realize how many organizational tasks we have to solve at all stages - from design to finishing. It is necessary to decide on the number of floors, the size of the house itself and all rooms, the style in which the design will be done, etc. Today, there is no shortage of building materials to create your dream home, the design of modern cottages is striking in variety. In this article, we will look at modern home design styles and their features. nine0005

Modern Cottage Architecture

Cottage design refers to both the outside and the style of the interior. All design styles are unique in their own way, let's focus on the most popular ones. The photos posted in the article will help you imagine the design of modern houses and cottages with your own eyes.

1. Classic style

Fashion dictates its own terms, but classics are always in demand. The design of a modern cottage, made in a classic style, emphasizes with its whole appearance that the owner of the house has great taste, he is thorough, a little conservative and prefers reliability. Most often, the design project of a modern cottage in a classic style is developed for large houses. It has a number of well-defined details:

2. Baroque

Baroque is a style of pretentious, deliberate luxury, which is created by many decorative elements. In the design of modern cottages, baroque style in its pure form is rarely used, as a rule, designers bring in only some of its details. Baroque is characterized by:

3. Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau appeared more than a hundred years ago, but still has not lost popularity. Art Nouveau is a rejection of strict geometry, quirkiness and ornate forms while maintaining harmony and a sense of proportion. nine0005

Signs of modern style in the design of modern cottages:

This direction is suitable for both one house and the whole cottage village. But since, unlike the classics, the style does not have pronounced rules, the design of modern cottages in the Art Nouveau style is a rather difficult job. It is necessary to feel well the spirit of the past, the spirit of the time in which this direction appeared, to have a subtle sense of harmony and proportion. Otherwise, the designer will only get something similar to modernity, but not style in its purest form. nine0005

4. Minimalism

Minimalism is often found in the design of modern cottages. It is distinguished by its simplicity raised to a power, the absence of unnecessary details and functionality. Decor elements are used to a minimum, artsy forms are simply excluded. Among the characteristic details of minimalism are the following:

Minimalism is light, air and uncluttered space.

5. Hi-tech

Hi-tech, like baroque, is rarely used in its pure form in the design of modern cottages. Most often, its individual details are built into other directions, for example, into minimalism. The high-tech style is based on modern urban and industrial architecture, from which he took the main elements:

6. Chalet style

There are many such styles, for example, English, Scandinavian, American, etc. The chalet comes from the Alps, and the building in this spirit in its original form was massive and solid, which made it possible to hide from bad weather and cold in the harsh mountains. The mountainous area, where this design direction was born, gave it certain features, thanks to which the chalet looks especially harmonious on the hills or in the forested area. nine0005

The chalet style in the design of modern cottages is characterized by:

7. English style

The English style in the design of a modern cottage characterizes its owner as an adherent of aristocratic traditions and restraint. But at the same time, a modern cottage with a similar design is cozy, pretty, creates a feeling of reliability and home comfort. Often in the English style they make not only individual houses, but also entire cottage villages. nine0005

Features:

8. Italian style

Italy is a country of sea and greenery, so the design of a modern Italian-style cottage is especially appropriate in areas near ponds with dense vegetation. The advantage of this direction can be considered its undemanding to the size of the house, the main thing is that it should be cozy, create a feeling of comfort and tranquility.

The Italian style is characterized by:

9. Russian style

Russian style is characterized primarily by the abundance of carved elements. The owner of such a cottage is proud of his roots and does not want to hide his wealth. And such a building is really expensive, since natural wood prevails in the decoration. But at the same time, the house creates a feeling of reliability, good quality and comfort. Distinctive features of a cottage in the Russian style:

10. Scandinavian style

The Scandinavian climate is as close as possible to the Russian one, so the design of modern cottages in the Scandinavian style is especially popular in our country. This direction is distinguished by functionality, quality factor, reliability. A house in the Scandinavian style is a fortress that reliably protects from bad weather and harsh climate. Decor details are more than secondary here. Special features:

11. Fachwerk

Fachwerk came to us from the Middle Ages, when such houses could be found on the territory of almost all of Europe. They are most widespread in Germany, on the territory of Bavaria. Distinguishing a half-timbered house from others is quite simple - the frame of the house is not hidden under the finish, but on the contrary, it is put on display. The spaces between the wooden beams were filled with a mixture of clay and reeds, plastered and painted. The beams created a certain pattern, which was in itself part of the decoration of the house. nine0005

Of course, today it is unlikely that anyone will build a house from clay and reeds, but the main features of half-timbered houses can be preserved with the use of modern materials:

  • The façade is decorated with wood and stone, mostly in light colors. The ground floor is finished with stone from the outside.
  • The roof is covered with tiles, shingles or their artificial counterparts.
  • In the Middle Ages, the windows of half-timbered houses were rarely made large in order to keep the heat in the house. Today, for this purpose, it is enough to install multi-chamber double-glazed windows, so the size of the windows is of no practical importance and can be anything. Large panoramic windows are preferred. nine0012

    12. European style

    The European style is quite arbitrary, as it is a combination of individual elements from different styles. The design of a modern European-style cottage often does not have any pronounced features; the house would look equally organic both in sunny Italy and in harsh Scandinavia. Everything is strict, conservative, moderate. Characteristic features of the European style:

    See also: Decorating a country house (photo): from the facade to the interior

    • Harmony of strict forms and elegant, but not pompous, artsy decor. Rectangles and squares are diluted with complicated bay windows, beautiful elegant lamps, and stone elements.
    • Two or four pitched roof, covered with tiles or similar material.
    • No large windows, medium to small square or arched windows preferred.
    • It is acceptable to use stone in the design of windows and plinth, the facade must be finished with plaster. nine0012

    13. American style

    The American style is, of course, European. But the American style added unique features to the architectural style of the Old World. With the help of houses, settlers sought to demonstrate their wealth and high social status, so an American-style building is a rather interesting structure with a complex roof shape.

    An American house in its purest form is a frame structure, but in our country it has changed somewhat, the walls are preferred to be made of brick or foam blocks. The style is suitable both for the construction of a private house, and for the development of entire cottage settlements. Characteristic features of the direction:

    • A multi-tiered roof, under which rooms with different purposes are combined - a house, a garage, utility rooms. The windows should be large, a terrace in the shape of the letter "G" or around the perimeter of the whole house is required.
    • Natural materials are used in the facade decoration - stone, wood, plaster. Light colors are preferred.
    • Often, columns are used to decorate a house, which also carry a functional load - they support a canopy over a terrace. The design of a modern American-style cottage does not allow for a lot of decor; terraces, multi-tiered roofs and large spacious terraces play the role of decorations. nine0012
    • American-style homes do not have basements or basements.

    14. Prairie style, or Wright style

    Wright is an American architect who is considered the creator of this complex and ambiguous style. Wright strove for the maximum simplification of the house, which, in his opinion, should not distract a person from the contemplation of nature. Emphasized, worshiped simplicity of forms, an abundance of horizontal lines and surfaces gave the style a second name - the prairie style, boundless and even. Style features:

    • Tent-shaped or flat roofs with wide overhangs extending beyond the boundaries of the house. Large horizontal window.
    • Maximum glazing and horizontal surfaces. Due to this, the contours of the house seem to be erased, merge with nature, dissolve in it.
    • A minimum of decor - nothing should distract the eye from the surrounding nature. Maximum natural materials - wood, brick, stone. The house should be part of the landscape, in perfect harmony with it. nine0012

    15. Castle (medieval) style

    This style is rare in the design of modern cottages for various reasons. Someone considers it too pretentious and pompous, someone unreasonably expensive. But designers use individual details and elements of a medieval building, inscribing them in directions similar in spirit. Sometimes the medieval style is found under a different name - Disney. Special features:

    • Massiveness, heavy construction, high walls, large forms, balconies, terraces and turrets. The facade should create a feeling of monumentality, so it is often designed asymmetrically.
    • The house is large, united by one complex-shaped roof.
    • Stone façade, sometimes complemented with brick cladding or stucco. A house completely lined with natural stone is very expensive, therefore, in the design of modern cottages, natural stone is often replaced with artificial stone. nine0012
    • Rectangular or arched windows, wrought iron or stained glass as door decoration.

    16. Gothic style

    The Gothic direction in design appeared on the basis of the castle style, it can be said that Gothic is an improved castle style. It is not surprising that these two styles of decoration have many similar details and features. Strictly speaking, Gothic is the style of cathedrals, monasteries and palaces, and is hardly appropriate for the design of a modern cottage. But if the style is very impressive, then you can use its individual elements. The only condition is that your country house must be large. Special features:

    • Sharp elements, vertical lines - the house seems to be reaching for the sky.
    • No semicircular arches and windows - only a pointed shape.
    • In abundance - towers, columns, stained-glass windows, bas-reliefs, sculptures and carved decorative elements.

    17. Renaissance

    The design of modern cottages in the Renaissance style is easy to recognize by the combination of conciseness, quality factor, moderation in the presence of decor. In general, Renaissance houses look pretty, but without pretentiousness. Style features:

    • Defined shapes and lines, symmetry, superstructures, balconies. Columns carry a functional load, supporting a roof or balcony. Shapes are rectangular or semicircular.
    • Mandatory patio.
    • Light colours, stuccoed or stone clad facade.

    18. Oriental style

    Oriental style is in fashion today in various areas of life, including the construction of houses. Special features:

    • Roof with pitched upwards. According to Eastern beliefs, this form of roof protects the house from the penetration of evil spirits into it.
    • Natural materials in decoration, mainly wood and stone.
    • Terrace surrounding the perimeter of the house.
    • Caring for the local area. She must be well-groomed.

    19. Art Deco

    Art Deco is a combination of Art Nouveau, Empire, Egyptian and African styles. In general, a rather bizarre mixture is obtained, not devoid of zest and attractiveness. Special features:

    • Combination of broken, curved and straight lines in the design of a modern cottage. Geometric ornaments are often used in decorating the facade.

    • Ethnic ornaments combined with spiers and arches.

    • Pastel natural colors.

    • Natural materials combined with metal and glass.

    You can choose any style in the design of a modern cottage, but it would be better to entrust the development of a design project to a professional. In addition to the purely external aesthetic component, the house must be functional and meet exactly your needs, which are best taken into account by a professional designer. However, there is a more budget option - a ready-made standard cottage project. In any case, the house should not only meet your needs, but also organically fit into the surrounding landscape. nine0005

    Interior design of modern cottages

    The interior of any house should be as comfortable and cozy as possible for all its inhabitants, it should be conducive to rest and peace. A country house always has several significant advantages that allow you to create an ergonomic space - these are large areas, proximity to nature and high ceilings.

    Recommended articles on this topic:

    • Living room renovation in the country house
    • Installation of automatic gates
    • Heating in a turnkey house

    It must be understood that in a city apartment the interior does not depend on the design features of the house, but in a private country house the connection between these factors is direct and clear. For example, if a house outside is decorated in the Russian style with carved platbands and cockerels on the roofs, then oriental ornaments are unlikely to be appropriate inside. When developing the design of a modern cottage, a clear harmony between the exterior and interior should be observed. nine0005

    The interior design of a country house has some peculiarities:

    • The entire interior must be made in the same style.
    • Choose your color scheme carefully.
    • Analyze the building materials market and choose the best in terms of price and quality.
    • Not only decoration, but also selection of furniture should be made in the same style.
    • Decor and lighting play an important role in the interior design of a modern cottage. nine0012
      1. Color options

        The design of a modern cottage is unthinkable without a certain color scheme. Incorrectly chosen colors can reduce productivity, general mood and disrupt the inner harmony of the inhabitants of the house. Much in the choice of colors depends on the tastes of the inhabitants of the house, but there are a number of patterns that are best followed in order to achieve a really good result.

        In the interior it is undesirable to use more than three or four shades of the colors that appeal to you the most. One color should be dominant - it will be used in the design of the walls. Even if you like rich, bright colors, you should not make them dominant in the decoration of rooms. Leave them for bright accents. Also, don't try to squeeze in all the colors you like into the interior, unless you are making an oriental-style cottage, where the variegation is really appropriate. nine0005

        A large number of finishing materials allows you to play not only with colors, but also with textures. One of the ways to create an original interior is a combination of smooth and embossed textures. They can even be of the same color and still look contrasting and attractive.

        When designing a modern cottage, you can choose one texture detail that will make the space lively, cozy, original and unique. For example, in the interior, you can harmoniously combine various textile elements in color and texture - curtains, upholstery or furniture covers, pillows, etc.

      2. Furniture

        Minimalism is in fashion today, not only in decor, but also in furniture. Even in large rooms, typical for country cottages, there is no need for an excess of furniture. And even more inappropriate bulky furniture for small houses. It is better to choose a minimum of items that will be as functional as possible. For large houses, large furniture is more appropriate, for small rooms, compact.

        The greatest harmony can be achieved if you skillfully combine large things and small details. Only an excess of large objects makes the interior faceless, and a large amount of small decor is annoying. nine0005

      3. Lighting

        When choosing a lighting device, you need to focus on its appearance. The lamp should harmoniously fit into the overall environment, not only in the evening, but also during the day. Depending on the design of a modern cottage, lamps can be dark, light, golden, chrome. The lampshade must be selected in accordance with the chosen finish.

    The dimensions of the chandelier and lighting fixtures must be proportional to the room in which they are located. For small rooms, huge falling chandeliers are out of place, and in a large room a compact lamp will simply be lost. nine0005

    The interior style of a modern cottage

    The areas of country houses allow designers not to restrain their creative thoughts. When creating a design project for a modern cottage, first of all, the wishes of the owners of the house are taken into account, and only then modern fashion trends. Today, the most popular styles are country, provence, chalet, Scandinavian and modern style.

      1. Country cottage

    This style will be most appropriate in a wooden house where a friendly family lives with its own traditions, principles and values. There is some rustic romance in the country, which dictates the choice of materials for finishing and furnishing.

    Country does not accept metal, glass, and especially plastic. The design uses plaster, stone, wooden beams, as well as wallpaper with floral patterns or stripes. nine0005

    Natural, natural, natural materials are the basis for the design of a modern cottage. Inside the house there can be a kitchen with a retro buffet and a massive wooden table, a living room with a fireplace. In addition to low furniture, linen or chintz curtains, and painted dishes are suitable.

      1. Provence style cottage

    Provence style comes from France, and it is characterized by lightness, airiness, and some romance. And to create this feeling help floral motifs, which are actively used in the interior. nine0005

    Furniture and decor play a special role in Provence; in fact, they create a countryside mood. Furniture should be solid, light, ideally vintage or artificially aged.

    The décor is also quite simple - imagine a summer day on the Mediterranean coast, a French village street. And you will immediately understand what shades you need - lavender, blue, light yellow tones. In addition - wicker things, flower vases, porcelain dishes. In general, the style leaves a feeling of lightness and purity. nine0005

      1. Chalet-style cottage

    The chalet style is especially appropriate in wooden cottages, creating the most expressive interior with the least effort and cost. The chalets are characterized by wooden floors and ceilings, and the ceiling beams are not hidden, they remain in sight.

    The style of the chalet is quite concise and environmentally friendly due to the large amount of wood in the interior and decoration. Almost mandatory in the chalet is a fireplace, which becomes the basis of the living room. nine0005

    Leather, wool decor and even fur skins are used to create a unique entourage. When creating the design of modern chalet-style cottages, all appliances are hidden in cabinets and behind panels, and lighting fixtures are chosen to match the general mood, for example, in the form of a candle.

      1. Scandinavian style cottage

    Scandinavians are reserved and taciturn people, and Scandinavian design is just as concise, without excessive decoration. The Scandinavian solidity of the interior is given by the use of natural materials. The Scandinavian style allows you to create a beautiful, cozy, bright and spacious house at minimal cost, which will be equipped with everything you need. nine0005

    Walls are often painted simply with white paint, while wood is used for decoration. Bright color accents will help to revive the interior a little and give it individuality.

    Furniture is chosen in simple forms, but soft and comfortable. In order not to create a feeling of hospital severity, unusual details are brought into the interior - interesting curtains or planters.

      1. Modern cottage

    The design of cottages in a modern style is at the peak of popularity today. It is distinguished by the use of inexpensive materials, including plastic. But at the same time, you need to understand that all decoration and furniture must be of high quality. The modern style has a small drawback - after five years it ceases to be relevant, so if you are not ready to change the interior so often, then this direction may not suit you. nine0005

    Decor plays an insignificant role in modern style, it is generally advised to refuse it so as not to clutter up the interior. The ceiling is often not decorated at all, leaving it just concrete, and a laminate with a simple pattern and texture is placed on the floor. To illuminate the rooms, spotlights are mounted.

    Cottage design: modern style

    Almost any country house can be decorated in a modern style. This is a very popular and quite stylish direction in the design of residential premises.

    Predominantly natural and practical materials, unpretentious decor, plenty of light and exceptional functionality are its distinguishing features. For those who are overloaded with information at work, the home environment becomes a real salvation. Why? Tells the studio "Interiorcom". nine0005

    Modern style made for a cottage:


    Because it is the country house that provides the necessary degree of freedom that is needed by the designer and property owners who want to enjoy the benefits of modern style to the fullest.

    This means that here:

    • More spacious rooms than in an apartment;
    • There are no standard layouts, you can arrange the premises in any order;
      • nine0011 Good ceiling height, and sometimes there is a second light;
    • Panoramic glazing is often present;
    • Interesting interior elements appear - an original interfloor staircase, a cozy fireplace;
    • The country house itself is closer to nature than any flat or apartment.

    In addition, there are not as many limits and norms here as in multi-storey high-rise buildings.

    Style highlights:


    Modern style loves natural light. The more of it, the better. In this, he is definitely close to Scandinavian motifs. Therefore, large windows, panoramic windows, a second light in the house will only be a plus. But this does not mean that light is needed around the clock.

    Curtains are an indispensable element of room decoration. Here everything is done only for the sake of comfort. But preference should be given not to complex and pompous curtains, but to simple textile curtains - without tassels, lambrequins, tiebacks and other decorations. Tulle may be present. But extremely simple, light and weightless. nine0005

    We wrote more about this in the article: Curtains in a modern interior. How to choose and with what to combine?

    There should not be too much furniture. This is where minimalism comes into play. The more free space and air around, the better. However, not at the expense of comfort. If you want to put not one, but two sofas in a large living room - do it! Just choose simple models. This rule applies to any other furniture. Geometric conciseness and accuracy are the key to successful creation of an interior in a modern style. nine0005

    The color scheme is restrained. There should be no flashy colors and clumsy compositions. Calm monochrome, a combination of several basic shades is possible. Preference is given to natural colors. As accents, you can add bright elements.

    Competent zoning is another important detail of this style. In the house, every thing and every task should have its place. A kitchen, a dining area, a living area, a seating area, a workplace, a bedroom, a TV corner - all this can be successfully combined and combined, but so that the created spaces turn out to be comfortable for life. nine0005

    Finishing materials:

    Preference is given to natural materials. This is where the restrictions end. Do you like eco-style and warm wood, or maybe you gravitate towards rough stone, cold concrete or loft brickwork? Everyone will be able to find their own unique solution!

    The walls are often plastered and painted, classic wallpapers can be chosen. In cottages made of logs or timber, it is appropriate to leave the tree, taking it as a basis. Tiles, artificial stone, self-leveling floor, laminate and parquet board can be laid on the floor. A little less often choose linoleum, quartz vinyl and carpet. nine0005

    If a modern style is currently being created, designers try not to use plastic in the decoration. Minimize the design of the GKL.

    Spectacular cottage interior:


    The modern rhythm of life and the huge amount of information that a person passes through himself during the day are emotionally exhausting. Modern style is an opportunity to create a sharp contrast to the aggressive external environment. Returning home, you leave all the fuss outside the door, and here you relax and enjoy the company of loved ones and loved ones. nine0005

    An even greater relaxation effect is provided by the thoughtful and realized interior of the cottage in conjunction with the landscape design of the site, the view of which opens from the window of the house.
