*_On several streaming sites, there's a movie called LEGEND starring Tim Curry, Mia Sara, Tom Cruise and more. The cottage in that movie, Nell's cottage that Lili visits is what you want to take still images from when you talk about Cottage Core._*

i like dark cottagecore because it a combination between dark academia and cottagecore and here's how: cottagecore has a feeling of coziness and security, doing everything yourself from teas, crochet, art mixed with plants and flower blooms, through dark academia add to it the darker hue of the colors, the rain, the books and intellectual calm and the overall rainy cloudy atmosphere

I read the Twilight series when I was 52. My niece loaned me her copies. I would read until late into the night and go to work after a couple hours of sleep. I was obsessed. I don't usually like reading novels so that really was unusual behavior for me. I hope you read them someday. You won't be disappointed.

@@dantierandbalogh I really loved your witchy cottage episode. (I’ve watched it many many times lol) I think in the design world there’s a distinct lack of witchy/pagan -organic biophilic- decor for each season and of course Yule. I believe witchcore and it’s profound connection with nature will soon surpassed the ‘kitschy’ cottage core craze, as this is something we can all sink out teeth into. I’d love to see your take on bringing magic and nature into our homes for every season. Personally I’m into moody aesthetics with lots of candle light and a pot of something delicious slowly simmering on the wood stove but that just me lol ~Scarlett

I always tried finding my 'style' and I always liked cottagecore, but like you said, with a darker edge. Kind of like a witch in the woods vibe, with frogs, mushrooms, and mist like I'm a cryptid in the forest tending to a garden. XD So this is perfect for me, get both the humble vibes of baking bread and hugging a kitten, but also with the darker mysterious almost horror edge to it. Let's me blend the two dualities I thought wouldn't mix.

It's a little hard for me to fathom that Dark Cottagecore would be hard to combine with Dark Academia, since Dark Cottagecore the way you have presented it here seems like it would be so nourishing to the intellect and imagination. I bet it would mesh just fine with some of the other Academias, though, like Green Academia, Witchy Academia, Goblin Academia, or Autumn Academia. Even Light Cottagecore could be combined with Pastel Academia, Coquette Academia, Fairy Academia, Romantic Academia, or Floral Academia, I bet. Okay, yes, the aesthetics have become one of my new special interests, in case you haven't guessed, lol!

@tete-rh5xo 3 ай бұрын

yeah I think she may have some misconceptions about dark academia as for her to think its not similar to dark cottagecore in any way is a bit bizarre. Most of the dark cottagecore inspo pictures she showed of architecture, furniture and decoration are things that are also often assosiated with the dark academia aesthetic

@Patrick-kt5mc 8 ай бұрын

This is pretty much the interior design style of my house. Not that I actually planned it that way but it sort of ended up like that so I might was well keep it going! Incidentally, some of these spaces featured here I wouldn't consider dark cottage core but rather rustic cabin in my opinion.

@dantierandbalogh 8 ай бұрын

That's true Patrick! I like to think once the interior architecture is complete and materials lined, with home decor and textiles etc added, it would then all come together. Ideally I would find images that explain my point exactly, however it's very hard😅 If I had more time to produce them, I would make full 3D models & rendered images of the final design (as I'm an interior architect by trade).

Having said all that, I really like this video and the style. Makes me want to be in one of those cottages in the woods. My only consolation is that we have dark wood furniture throughout the house which gives warmth. I really enjoyed the video.

@@annbrookens945 Ha-ha. Well, maybe. My place IS dark already, after all. I live in an older place (built in 1975) that is pretty tiny by current American standards. I have windows only on the west and east side, and they face block walls and have overhangs over them, which means very low energy (cooling) bills but no view and little light. Most people would scoff at the lack of natural light, but I chose the place mostly for the neighborhood and location (much closer to work at the time). Anyway, with small, naturally dark rooms and 8-ft ceilings, I'm hesitant to go with the darker greens and woods for fear of the place being less dark cottage core and more mideival dungeon. On the other hand, some decorators on KZfaq have said that dark colors are okay and that it is okay to "celebrate the smallness." I think that's possible if you don't have claustrophobia LOL. It's one thing to enjoy seeing a room and another thing to live in them. Eh. I'm okay with what I have. Although the building is mid-century, it is only mid-century (minus the "modern"). I have, however, done the living/dining area in mostly mid-century modern furniture with a touch of just "mid-century." With buttery yellow walls, dominant colors are oranges, reds, golds with some metals. I do really love the style of the rooms in this video, though.

Hi Tim! Omg wait a minute... 50°C??? 🤣 that's the opposite of where I live 😆😆 We will I'm sure have more snow in the new year!❄️ It depends on how comfortable you are living in a dark environment- I would say dark always works as long as you balance it out with lightning! But of course energy bills will rise😁 I love that you have a midcentury home (we are doing our interior midmod style! 😬). We changed our minds from country style 😆 And I love that you live in a completely different landscape to us, I find it so interesting . I will be doing a desert style/ southwestern style video next year 🤗🤗

@timward3116 8 ай бұрын

@@dantierandbalogh Well, 50C was a record here (1990). Most summers, it only gets up to 47-48C LOL! Hey, three degrees makes a big difference! In the summer of 1990, my mom's shoes actually melted on her feet. According to Google, our temperatures are most similar to Baghdad's. Doesn't that make you want to come here? Glad you like midmod, too! I'm sure your place will be magazine-cover-worthy! Interesting that you think dark might work with adequate lighting. I don't think the lighting will increase the electric bills too much, though, with modern lightbulbs. Hmmm. Maybe I'll muster the courage. Although I "love color," I'm afraid of wasting time and money on a failed project that won't like. I LOVE your channel. I am looking forward to your desert/southwestern style episode! And don't forget our colorful Mexican decor, too! Here in Arizona, we see a lot of both styles and a lot of blending of the two. Arizona was once part of Mexico, and we do have a large Mexican/Mexican-American community that adds vibrancy to our otherwise Baghdadian beige environment. No need to respond! I know you're very busy making the episodes I enjoy watching! Have a great wonderfully chilly day!

I was wondering if you might have suggestions on how to combine elements of different styles. For example, I currently live with my parents and have a very beachy room but have been looking into both Cottagecore and Dark Cottagecore stuff lately and was hoping to find some ideas on combining the furniture I have (which isn’t overly themely except for some knick knack pieces). I will also admit that while I don’t have an apartment right now, because I am searching for full time work, I am hoping to eventually get an apartment but if I do, I don’t know if I will likely have parts I have to keep/work around. I will admit that I also would love any suggestions on creating a more masculine cottage core. I am currently leaning towards Dark Cottage Core because traditional cottage core is a bit too feminine for me and Dark Cottage core feels more neutral if not masculine
