Dark Cottagecore Decor: How to Get the Moody Magical Look in Your Apartment 🍄✨🖤

[@ModaMisfit]

*Why I use AI generated images →* For anyone expressing frustration over my use of AI because they think it means the looks are unattainable, here's the way I see it: the images are not unattainable, they're actually very useful for creating a vision that you might not find anywhere else. With each AI image, you can find items that look like any of the items pictured, just like with a photo of a real life room. *Real life images and AI images have the same effect; they're visual inspiration to help you craft your own space. Would you want to buy the exact objects in someone else's home anyway?* Probably not. They're often not even available to buy anyway. For example, so much of the decor in my own apartment can't be purchased because I've had it for years. It's no longer available. Real life spaces and AI spaces alike are just about equally "unattainable" when it comes to actually buying things. *The main value in watching KZbin videos and browsing Instagram/Pinterest is inspiration. To stretch your mind and get ideas, then interpret the inspo in a way that's authentic to you. AI images and a random photo on Pinterest produce effectively the same result on your end.* *Something else to keep in mind: the AI tool I use, MidJourney, is fast becoming a commonly used tool by interior designers to help communicate a design with clients.* It's already starting to become a tool of the trade. This is just reality. If you're curious to learn more, this article by an interior designer is pretty illuminating: happyhome.clinic/midjourney-interior-design-inspiration-guide#3 *And probably the biggest reason why I use AI images now: it is incredibly hard to find copyright-free images, especially in the super-specific styles I talk about.* Using Pinterest and other peoples' IG images would technically fall under Fair Use, but it's a slippery slope and I don't ever want to feel like I'm stealing other peoples' images to benefit my videos. I will here and there when it feels appropriate, but AI has become such an awesome way to visually demonstrate what I'm talking about without the stress. *If you have any recommendations for where to find royalty-free images specifically of Dark Cottagecore in apartments, do let me know.* 😉 *Lastly, I have a sneaking suspicion that the people who tell me that they "wish I would show more decor pictures and less of my face" are the same people who are mad at the AI images.* It feels like I can't win. Honestly, I'm just trying to make pretty videos. It's not that serious. I know AI is weird and scary. All technological advancements are. And AI definitely has some majorly problematic issues that need to be worked out. But frankly... making pretty pictures of pretty rooms is probably at the bottom of the list of AI-induced problems. So either accept my use of AI images or get used to seeing more of my face. 🙃

[@hamletic]

@@ModaMisfit AI's problem is not because it's "weird and scary" and "technological advancement". It's trained off of other people's work and on the side it's using so much energy to operate. It's funny that the cottagecore aesthetic is based on reconnecting with nature and the quiet life in the countryside but to get inspiration for it you have to use a machine to do all the thinking for you. Sorry about all the people commenting that they don't want to see your face, I feel like other channels film themselves talking and it doesn't bother anyone.

[@YTisacesspit]

You really push the boat out to make thing write with yourself don't you. Also being passive, aggressive and accusatory when they express they would like to see more house than you on a reel about decor (strange eh) Not everyone on YT is a natural presenter even though they think they are.

[@ModaMisfit]

@@hamletic But the fact that you’re here *on the internet* seems to undermine your point about the irony of using technology to talk about a nature-inspired style like Cottagecore. Here you are… on a computer or smartphone… watching a video… about Cottagecore… which also takes a tremendous amount of energy to produce. Where exactly is the goal post for what counts as acceptable technology? And I hear what you’re saying about AI being trained on other peoples' work, but I think it’s quite a bit more nuanced than simply considering it a problem. There’s a conversation to be had about what constitutes theft vs inspiration among human artists, and the same question now applies to this brand new landscape of machine art. It’s complex and, whether we like it or not, inevitable. Shunning AI will do more harm to artists than refining it in a way that ultimately benefits us. And when it comes to the interior decor images I generate, they're a mix of so many different visual references that it's basically impossible for it to be considered "theft". Something new is being created with pre-existing references, which can be said for all human-created art. And yeah I agree, the norm on KZbin is for people to film themselves talking about something. Most of the videos I enjoy are just that! But there's something about the topic of decor where some people just don't want to see a human speak. They just want pretty pictures, in which case I think Pinterest is probably a better fit for them, haha. Anyway, I find this conversation fascinating, so thank you for indulging me!

[@kailovi]

@@ModaMisfit we can just disagree on this, but personally I think in this Climate crisis, it's fair game to point out unsustainable things whatever the context, especially if it's not a "need" based but a "want" based thing. The energy needs of AI are considerable and should not be ignored. I agree with you that for inspo it's actually a great tool, but then again I also hate what AI is doing to artists and already has done by stealing their work. There's been no conversation, no consent, the people creating and running AI do not care about any of the consequences of their actions, and I absolutely am against it because I do not trust people to handle it, as they've already proven they can't and won't. I hope you don't take those statements as personal attacks, it's just critique and worry about AI and it's promotion. Smaller creators using the tools they have available to them is completely different from the companies and parties creating those tools and the blame should be on the companies, not on the consumer. I think you explained well why you use those images, and in this case I do agree on the why. I wish I had suggestions for royalty free images, I can see how that's a hassle especially with videos. So yeah, very complex issue with a lot of nuance, which ofcourse is often glossed over in the comment section. As for the showing your face "too much" on YOUR videos, lol, people feel way too entitled. I actually came to the comments because of your eyes. Don't know how the colour shows irl, but at least on video they looked like a darker green, never seen that before! You and your kitty both have very beautiful eyes, so thanks for showing them and f the haters. But okay, some thoughts on the actual video; I found the video to be well paced, timestamps are great for re-watches and you used very good examples. Great analyses on what works on this style and why and pointing out similar ones, which is really helpful for people who try to pinpoint wtf their style even is. So overall, a great quality video. With the AI images I'm more concerned when people try to hide them, like on pinterest. All AI images should be labeled as such IMO, transparency is key. This was only the second video I saw from you (saw the "practical magic decor ideas" first and loved that!), but checking your page it seems you cover similar styles, and I like the vibe you bring so subscribed. Sorry for the wall of text and happy spooky season🍁

[@scarlettifluff]

The more you use it, the more artists get redundant

[@wendyreynolds2261]

Florals on dark backgrounds are my guilty pleasure! Throw in some antiques, old books, and witchy-feeling accessories and you have my dream home.🖤

[@ModaMisfit]

Same here! 🥰

[@rdlewis3616]

Dark equals cozy. I have always been drawn to the dark colors of a hunting lodge, and I also like the witchy accents.

[@Slivings911]

I didn’t know dark cottage core was a thing but I love it.

[@amberbariaktari]

I am doing a bedroom in dark academia and I’m starting college for regenerative farming and agriculture, mycology, and environmental studies and then plan on getting my masters in environmental studies ❤. And, I’m 47, so just wanting to surround myself with dark academia and some dark cottage core because I feel they go together and for my kitchen green witch self too and the science side of me. Thank you for this inspiring and different ways to think about how to put together with what one would want the feel/look to be. I am going to see if you do dark academia look videos ❤❤❤❤

[@michelledee2586]

Nice. Good luck👍🏻

[@Quileryn]

I love this idea and you should totally go for it. Happy studying! ♡

[@ModaMisfit]

I love this! Dark academia and dark cottagecore sound like perfect fits for you, just from what you've described here. 😊 And I did recently do a dark academia video! Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYawpJtpZqyYoLc

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

Me too. I didn't know it had a name.

[@softwitchery]

I love Dark Cottagecore, I call it Cottagegore :)

[@mistyjohnson302]

I Like it.

[@kimberlyporter9555]

Very metal. I love.

[@ModaMisfit]

Lol love this! Sounds so hardcore. ...hardcore cottagegore. 🙃

[@Eleivana777]

Or Cotta-Goth?

[@kendradee1288]

For the kitty litter problem, try tofu kitty litter (made from leftovers from tofu making process). It’s been a game changer for me. It clumps, smell is reduced, it’s flushable, and it doesn’t track as much as typical litter. It’s also healthier for cats. 😊

[@heidevanness2788]

Love your ideas! Dark Cottagecore is my style and mood. My home is Grimm Fairytale Cottagecore...dark, witchy, nature, bohemian, gothic.

[@lisacamilleri211]

Super cool aesthetic. You could easily fall down the rabbit hole of fun moody second-hand stuff.

[@Outsidepandorasbox]

Love this esoteric esthetic. It feels like the love child of granny chic, whimsical fairy witch forest and academic steam punk.

[@ModaMisfit]

You nailed it!

[@kadididucantoo]

Okaaaaay… I’ve been a subscriber for a while now and it’s time I let you know that I get a little gleeful internal squeal when you post a new vid. I appreciate your whole vibe so much. And I especially appreciate that you’re in my beloved Seattle! The moody weather here definitely influences how we home in the pnw, and I feel like I see some of that influence in your personal design preferences. I would’ve loved to hunker down into some dark cottage core coziness during last nights ⛈. Can’t wait to watch. Thanks again Steffi!

[@ModaMisfit]

Aw thank you so much!! You're so right, I feel like growing up here has a lot to do with my moody preferences. 🥰 Btw that thunder and lightning storm the other night was incredible. I wish we would get those more often!

[@kadididucantoo]

You’re so welcome! And meee too. Storms like that are blanket forts, ghost stories, and somehow church, all at once. Lol.

[@ModaMisfit]

@@kadididucantoo girl this comment is poetry 🤌

[@kadididucantoo]

Girl your videos are poetry. From one aesthetic pnw heart to another. And also thank you ☺️

[@dtylice]

Cottagecore + Steampunk would be fabulous if combined well.

[@marcelviareynolds1697]

Hi Steffi thank you for helping me to identify my inner interior mind to accomplish the aesthetic design that I am looking for and your apartment and your design is beautiful🌌🌙🌃❤❤❤❤

[@au_barb]

This is 100% my vibe 😍

[@saiyamoru]

This was once known as 'strega' or 'dark mori' aesthetic. Cottagecore is really just the westernization of mori fashion when you think about it. I think I picked up this style around 2011? it's strange to see it come full circle without people having a full understanding of the origins, but I'm happy to see it spread around.

[@belindaramos5299]

I love your unique darkness!!❤

[@Linda-t7z5q]

Just watched you for the first time. You’ve inspired me to use dark cottagecore in redecorating my bedroom with dark walls and the wood furniture I already have. Plus my stash of vintage thrifting will fit right in! It’s like I had it planned all along ❤❤❤

[@ModaMisfit]

Yaaay! I love that feeling of clarity, where you're like, "oh THIS is my style!" And then shopping/decorating becomes even more fun because you have a clearer vision in your head. Good luck with redecorating your bedroom!

[@HollyMae55]

This is a welcome bit of information! I was TODAY years old when I learned about dark cottage core. 😁

[@msjelly1987]

I live on a farm, in an old barn which I renovated into a small cottage. I have styled my cottage with dark witchygoth and cottagecore. I love finding antique furniture to go with my diy projects and family heirlooms. I was able to put in wood paneling/beadbord on my walls and cathedral ceilings, which look lovely with the beams I have throughout my cottage (which I hang my herbs and flowers on. My walls and ceiling is a white but my flooring is a rich walnut and my doors and trim are a matte black 🖤 and it goes so well with my gallery walls which my frames are all black or gold. I have a lovely working fireplace and my buffet is black with stain glass. I plan on adding more stain glass. I have layered rugs in my living room which I love but I want to get some darker and more moody whimsy rugs. I stayed with a classic vintage leather couch, and it has recliners. I would have loved a velvet black couch, but I have a service dog and also get bottle baby lambs in the house sometimes. So I use throw pillows and throw blankets to add texture and whimsy style. I love getting free furniture that are ugly but well built and I have made over a chest (which is my coffee table) painted my dining chairs black and also made over an 80s pine dining table into a beautiful piece with two tones, got black base and a rustic white washed top. One of my favourite things I did when renovating was I found a 1915 vanity and I cut out the middle and put a porcelain sink on top. It’s the main feature in my bathroom. I love to mix metals too. I have lots of brass and copper throughout my cottage. The biggest thing I stuck to was to make sure it’s my style and not a Pinterest house. So I have old 90-150year old sewing machines as side tables and I have lots of Australian native plants (as I live on a small farm in Australia where we have sheep and chickens) so I have some quirky Australian antiques as well as lots of Dutch and Irish decor… which is my family background. I love the dark cottage core style mixed with whimsy goth and a touch of old Australian style farmhouses, which is very different to the American style farmhouse I’ve noticed. Love this video and it’s given me a heap on inspiration for a few more projects I now have in mind. Love Janelle 🖤🥰🌹🫶

[@heyits_cat8966]

Wow.. you should make a video on that! Haha! You sound lovely. Having the dream home on the farm, living the real dream!

[@msjelly1987]

@ aww thank you. I have wanted to start making some videos of my home and how I restore old furniture. I just have to get some equipment to record the process.

[@ChristinaSimpson]

@@heyits_cat8966i wanted to come and tell her the same thing!! ❤

[@ChristinaSimpson]

Janelle, you’re living my dream 🙏 I would love to see what/how you’ve created ☺️

[@mendocinogirl]

DEFINITELY cat core ! For those of us with small spaces and kitty cats!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I think my living room is medium cottage core/cozy minimalist. Walls painted Rose Dust (LRV 57), floral prints in antique frames, floral throw pillows, and rug, silk flower arrangements (lots of pink/rose/cream/soft green), dark dusty green sofa.

[@ModaMisfit]

Ooooh this sounds gorgeous!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Thank you.

[@phoebeel]

Those mushrooms terrarium lights are super easy to DIY :)

[@RogueWave2030]

Wow! There's a name for what I love. First time I've seen you. You have a great channel.

[@macsgal64]

I love it all! Especially the lamp with the mushrooms!

[@tia3521]

I love moody walls and dark florals. My home fits this aesthetic, as i paint botanicals/moody abstracts and very nature inspired art most of my accent colours are forest green, black and grey.... With little 1920's lighting and brass candle holders mixed in. Definitely a hedgewitch vibe with a sprinkle of forest fae. Im 45 and I never knew this was a thing! But now seeing so many younger people embrace this . 🌿🍂🌙🪶🍄

[@marilynbarlow8978]

Oh my gosh, I love all these especially the wallpapers

[@maryf7224]

Of course, the 70s - Love that era! And definitely florals on a black background - I have a love seat and cushion covers elsewhere in the apartment in that pattern. I also see a lot of mushroom-themed decor everywhere these days from Dollar Stores to more expensive brands. Granted, some of it is too bright and would not fit the dark theme - but some would suit - but I am suprised how many mushrooms are out there. 🙂

[@dyanalayng5507]

Lots of new books on mushrooms and fungi quite recently too.

[@riotfaerie]

omg i never knew this aesthetic is precisely what i love!

[@joycerobinson855]

Hi Steffi! I prefer a lighter, boho interior, but I found the rooms (and most of the pieces) in this Dark Cottagecore video to be absolutely beautiful!❤

[@alifetime360]

I may have just found my style here! Thank you!

[@ModaMisfit]

You're so welcome!

[@ellensoeclectic]

I stumbled upon you, and had no idea that there were other people that like the decor I love. I'm just a little nature loving witch, that needs some inspiration when decorating my tiny witchy camper space. Ty!

[@4800BMO]

You totally hit the nail on the head with this one! I finally know how to describe what I like. Thank you.

[@ilovejack100]

You absolutely nailed it! Thank you for articulating for me what I have been trying to define for years. So many versions of Cottagecore but none that really completed the vision I had. Loved all your choices for decor. Just the inspiration I needed to keep working on my own witchy vibe a la 'Cottagecore finally defined for me'!! Cheers!

[@kerryclare3456]

You explain the separate elements perfectly. I was overwhelmed at first, but you covered everything so it made sense! 😊 Thanks! Love it ❤

[@trueloveingod2691]

I love the dark and the light, enjoy integrating them tastefully, but for those of us who are not attracted to Satan, death, witchcraft, or anything sinister, the dark aesthetic can simply serve as the night, moonlit, romantic, deep, and mysterious without the evil. And it’s beautiful, but most pleasant when there is also some relief from it in different rooms. IMO.

[@kailovi]

Death isn't evil or sinister, it's a natural part and fact of life. It's the only promise we're given when we're born. Neither is witchcraft, but since you mentioned satan I guess you're some sort of Christian so then viewing witchcraft as evil goes with the territory I guess. Though it's good to remember, that it's not the craft or the tool, it's the intention behind the one who wields it. Kind of like priests are the only ones allowed to practice magick when it comes to abrahamic religions. (sermons, baptisms, chanting, using the cross or making the cross sign are protection spells, blessing water...all of that is witchcraft, just named differently with a "christian aesthetic")

[@angelcitystudio]

I absolutely love those floral sofas! I am considering using dark cottage core/academy style for our family room. Thanks for sharing! 💯 ❣️

[@Loliolla]

I’ve been decorating like this before it had a name.

[@Quileryn]

I love that Portlandia sketch! Great recommendations, too! Also, I'd recommend curtains if you aren't 100% on wallpaper (I have weird asymmetrical walls that are super tall in my apartment). I found some velvet black/copper/dark green rose floral curtains on Amazon, and it is probably my favorite dark cottagecore/forest witchy piece in my living room. The window is pretty large, so when the sun is out, it casts this really pretty warm light, and since it is dark, it keeps the super bright light out, too. :3

[@ModaMisfit]

Ooh curtains are a great recommendation for making a floral (or any kind of pattern) statement without the commitment of wallpaper!

[@SpiritsMessage]

😍 This is perfect!! ✨

[@JulyMoon82]

This may be a very niche style, but could you cover mid-century modern and boho as a combined style? Maybe in the same way you highlighted dark and light academia, since there are people who gravitate towards lighter and darker boho styles? But also featuring a mid-century modern flair?

[@Quileryn]

Would be cool to see combo or mixing aesthetic videos! (Like Dark Cottagecore + Dark Academia) It would be neat to see examples of which aesthetics pair well together.

[@halesje]

I don't think there's a name for my personal style. It's sort of "Dark Arts & Crafts" - Sort of William Morris meets Edgar Allen Poe. More minimal and refined than cottage-y, but similar... and then make it dark. Sort of witchy, but more masculine. Is that a thing?

[@katycheckley]

I think theres a difference between "putting a mushroom on it", and "making it a vibe", and people who are actually Earth Based in their spirituality, use the mushrooms and live peacefully on the Earth. You can fake it because you think its 'aesthetic', or you can genuinely like it because its part of your soul. Cottagecore or Dark Cottagecore or Dark Academia, is a name thats been invented recently for the way some of us have been living for 40 plus years.

[@ModaMisfit]

This is giving "I liked the band before it was popular and if you can't name every song off of every album you're a fake fan". Maybe just let people like things. 😂✌

[@emmabovary1228]

This reminds me of the 1970s trend minus the black lights. The home magazines published out of the UK provide a great resource for this style. Also, take a look at, McIntosh, JOB, and the sinewy expressions and design of voysey . A Loetz or Art Nouveau artists lend itself to this style. Morris and Co., Liberty of London and Stickley still provide original patterns for the home as they’re still selling these timeless designs.

Oh I definitely don't think the actual act of hiding a TV is snobby! It's people saying that you have to do it in order for a living room to look good. That often comes across as snobby. But no, hiding a TV in interesting ways is awesome - just not a requirement. 😊

I’m obsessed with this aesthetic. I’m currently on the hunt for green/blue Tiffany style stained glass lamp.

The peak millennial humor of that Portlandia reference made me realized I wasn’t yet subscribed. I actually felt bad that I wasn’t, I am now.
