[@marilyn4371]

Me clicking on this because it fit my vibe and then 95% of the video was either my house or on my "to buy" list 😂 I found my style's name!!!

[@migrabar79]

I feel that dark academia and dark cottagecore mix together very well, don't you? I have something like that in my office-guest bedroom and I. Love. It. It's my favorite room in the house.

[@afogg_vintagepickn]

This is my aesthetic! I was trying to figure out what my mix of dark academia, cottagecore, witchy, grandmacore was….this is it!

It's when that vibrant sweet springtime cottage goes into the fall and winter season. She puts on her knitted sweater, lights a warming fire and sips hot tea from a dainty tea cup... As her garden rests a few months.

100% the best mood lighting... a pink Himalayan salt bulb (amazon). A warm pinkish light and lasts forever. I keep mine in a lamp in my livingroom on 24/7 and I've had it for 2 years.

[@bernadettesage3917]

I love using colored bulbs. Love the ambiance it creates. 💕💖💕💖

[@asasweden]

Omg, I didn’t know my decor style is called dark cottagecore. I display most of the items on your list in my small studio apartment. I think about my home decor as “bringing nature inside”. Thank you for some new ideas too. 🍄

[@julialuminasalsa]

Redooing my study room i need more cozy vibes for the winter this video is perfect

[@yellowzora]

This is definitely my style 😝 you had me at mushrooms and more mushrooms 😂 loved it, now I just need to move a few more items in so slowly that my boyfriend won't notice, I am gradually transforming this space 😁

[@melissagodwin1594]

For me, Dark Cottagecore is basically Moody Hobbit. At least the elements of Dark Cottagecore that I’m really drawn to.

Tapers and pillars, Dollface ❤️ 🕯️

[@bernadettesage3917]

😂😂 that was cute! 💖💕💖💕

[@FreckledGemini]

@@bernadettesage3917 I'm 53 and adore this child. Lol. I'm drawn to you younger people because you are our hope. ❤️

[@bernadettesage3917]

@FreckledGemini I can beat that! I'm 62 😊 Like you I appreciate a positive young vibe.

[@kimber3644]

You were a real “FUN-(guy)GI”when it came to the mushrooms. Really enjoyed what you brought to the table. Keep up the good creative videos

[@yolandagarza7897]

Fabulous ideas, love it thank you for sharing 😊

[@sarahgraven]

If your having trouble finding the same vibe I also seen some stuff online called “moody fall, and moody autumn” lots of texture, dark and jewel toned colors. I think I’m going to the the moody fall so it’s easier to transition seasons. Moody winter looks amazing and right in this aesthetic too! ❣️

This is so my house/farm I have black farmhouse and house inside and out looks like could be in fairy tale. Its very woodland and cottage and fun and qurkie . Lot of animals and antiques with few formal bits. I have room like hobbit home and one like harry potterish and Alice in wonderland but not kitschy. I have a libray in my house with wood panel walls and 5 working wood fireplaces all different. I have a literally secret garden thats walled and hidden and has pergolas over it and things from old European farm around our pool area and in garden. I love sconces and the glow they give each room with battery opperated real beeswax candles . Lots of plants and with a green witchy vibe throughout. I love homes that are actually homes and represents family there and not just for show and decorations and whats current trends. I think everyone should make home thier paradise and a life you dont need or want vacation from. My favorite place is my home.

[@michellebarnes4094]

Your home sounds amazing!

[@bernadettesage3917]

Sounds so wonderful 💕💖💕💖💕

[@coffeeandscarves]

Society6 would be a great place for dark cottagecore decor.

[@3653cdw]

Thank you so much for all these great ideas and warning not eat the tea trays.! Sounds like something I would say - and so!

[@tomjohnson4922]

for the insects, do they have to be real? What about just using illustrations from old scientific books?

[@elizabethgracefashion]

I think if they are framed in a dark ornate frame, that would be super cool!

[@gerardtay]

I think that would work great!

[@bernadettesage3917]

Just subscribed today. Happy I found you. You're so adorable to watch 💖💕💖💕💖

[@cottageonoak]

I have never related to a video so much! This is my style!! I shall be adding darkcottagecore to my hashtag list 😅

[@AG-hx6qn]

Thank you for this. I love your style of videos. XD

[@trishapolard6550]

Pillar candles are the ones your thinking of. They comes in a variety of sizes. There are votives, which are little candles, roughly 2”x1.5”. Then there is tealights, the babies of the candle world lol these are all 1 wick btw, once you get into 2 or 3 wicks, they are called that. For example, a 3 wick candle.

[@joshuasmith1215]

This brings me back to when metalcore became a thing.

[@brendanelson9635]

Great ideas! Thanks.

[@bukharagunboat8466]

Trying to think about dark themes is a rural idyll. Perhaps the supernatural stories of Algernon Blackwood, or maybe Arthur Machen? For classical music, I think Sibelius' Tapiola. My favorite Halloween picture is Eyes of Autumn by Larry Elmore. Speaking of scarecrows, The Scarecrow is the creepiest song I know. Who's memories is it based on? The June Tabor version is best musically, but either the Lal or Mike Waterson originals are a bit scarier because they are closer to those memories. For rock music, maybe Mostly Autumn's Ghost Moon Orchestra?

[@earldumarest234]

Pillar candles are the other

[@cottinghamcyclinggardener6822]

Suggestion.. an Apidistra plant

[@SomeKindofAesthete]

Welp, this means I've been subbed to you for a year or so. Happy almost Fall! 🍂🧡

I missed the LS again. I told my boss that I need more time off for Live Streams, but he doesn't listen 😆 Anyway This is a whole LOT of TL;DR Summary- We recently stayed at a rental that had many of the ideas you spoke about. If you're going to continue reading, it's a long post We recently stayed in a cottage with dark cedar shingles on the outside with a black glass fire pit on the front porch. All in the foothills of Mt. Hood, Oregon. It wasn't cottage core, but the furniture and furnishings definitely had a serious reflection of it. Dark wood, black steel, heavy beautiful furnishings. Hardwood floors. Towering wide candles, a gorgeous small chess set, bits and pieces of "bio artifacts" on the outside. Almost "medieval gothic" but not quite. It was definitely dark cottage. It was dark and moody as the evenings got deeper, with an amazing view of the lake and the forests around us. The sun setting and the nearly full moon rising over the lake was the DEFINITION of dark life affirming poetry. There was no moody floral artwork (though that would have found an easy home in this cottage), but it did have abstract paintings of horses. I would never thing of horses as "core" anything, but these two paintings were just "off" enough to be borderline chilling. My grandson and I found a LOT of fairy hats in the backyard. Down by the creek, he found spiral shells, all black and glossy, and we heard ravens in the morning. Not crows, but the deep croak of a small handful of ravens, and they are unmistakable in flight. My "spirit animal" and my grandson thinks "Those are SOO cool" as well :) No canopies on the beds, but one of the bedrooms had a four poster bed, and it was GORGEOUS. The other had the hardwood and leather head and footboards. Again, a rather heavy look and feel, but the plants and candles offset it just enough to make it feel "heavy" and "light" at the same time (if that makes any sense) AMAZING fake plants on the inside. I usually hate fake plants, but these were so "high end" that I had to actually touch them to find out that they were fake. No mushrooms, though :( There was a woven wool throw blanket that I used daily. I wake up around 3-4 am and it was chilly, and that blanket was my friend on those mornings. I'd sit in the deep chair with that blanket around me and I decided to finally re read an epic that I haven't read in 3 decades. If we had tossed up some fae lights, it would have even be more magical. And the books, for a rental, were quite abundant :) So, TL:DR, it wasn't exactly Dark CottageCore, but it was the closest I've ever experienced from an amazing rental. Of course, the prominence of Mt. Hood, and the lake just added to the....well, to "the everything".

[@vllukens7265]

Lord of the Rings Hobbit houses would rock those mushroom wall thing shelves.Lanhen,,you should have an acting agent.

[@nancyriel-hw7ex]

Great video thank u for sharing

[@grandduchessc]

I think I've discovered my aesthetic I've always had. Just didn't know what it was called.

[@zippitydoodah5693]

thanks

[@janicestewart8291]

Could you please show your dark cottage decor?

[@RebeccaDavis-e3g]

Give me all the mushrooms!!

[@ChefEarthenware]

Not trying to be awkward, but how do you source dead insects ethically? Anesthesia before death? Euthanasia?

[@shaunsshelf]

Found insects. I find so many already dead insects on walks and display them in jars. I’m sure you could find creators on the internet who only use found insects in their mountings

[@ChefEarthenware]

@@shaunsshelf Thanks.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Autumn is Sunday. When the COOL-DOWN actually comes is entirely up to fate or sumpin'..............

[@Highland_Paddy]

Navy and other such color is don't usually find in COTTAGE a bit, unlike dark wood and thing. [Navy is neigh EARTHY, for starters.]

[@Highland_Paddy]

But ye olde cottage is still neigh a hunty cabin? There's, like, some tradition there I suspect...

[@Highland_Paddy]

Baking pies should be a priority? Also, making the place hospitable if e'er intend for man wish t' stay there? He doesn't hafta make all his own wood furniture, tho?

[@samantharodriguez9528]

I love that you’re identifying this as dark cottage core because that’s exactly what it is. I hate when people call this aesthetic DA just because of the moody colors. *sigh*

[@eg8568]

Random question, but what is her accent? I can't place it

[@justlanchen]

Mine?!

[@eg8568]

@justlanchen yes, I'm British and struggle to place US/Northern American accents, but I think yours is nice and am curious 😀

[@TheLotroNerd]

You are a 10/10.. if you are single and not married. I think we should date! I am north of SB!

[@TheLotroNerd]

What does the cross necklace mean to you!

[@anastasijad5646]

I wish you didnt use AI for these examples aka the cross-stitch
