Hey friend, If you love the charm of traditional farmhouse style but crave something a little more elevated and fresh, farmcore might be exactly what your home needs. In this episode, I’m introducing you to a trending home decor style that blends the coziness of cottagecore (remember episode 15?) with the classic appeal of farmhouse design—creating a richer, more layered aesthetic that's as timeless as it is on-trend. I’ll walk you through: ✨ What farmcore is and how it differs from traditional farmhouse decor ✨ Why it's not just another rustic trend ✨ How to confidently incorporate farmcore into your own home—even if you're decorating on a budget Here’s how to bring farmcore into your space: Wall Treatments – Think shiplap (yes, it’s still in!), beadboard, and board and batten to add depth and visual interest. Layered Textures – Cozy it up with wallpaper, window treatments, throw pillows, blankets, and area rugs. Traditional Silhouettes – Choose quality furniture with classic lines like wingback chairs and rolled arms. Antique Pieces – Mix in vintage or antique furnishings for a curated, lived-in look. Rustic Elements – Raw woods, stoneware, and iron accents help ground the space. Natural Materials – Lean into wood, linen, cotton, and clay for an organic feel. Pattern Mixing – Don’t be afraid to pair florals with plaids or stripes—step outside the design box! Moody Earth Tones – Create a rich foundation with colors inspired by nature—think deep greens, browns, and terracotta. Farmcore brings nostalgia and warmth with a modern, curated twist. You don’t have to live in the country to love this style—and you definitely don’t need a big budget. xo, dani // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group
