Your guide to the latest trend in enchanting room design!  Image by Jorge Ferreiro on Adobe Stock. Have you seen the latest home decor trend on Pinterest? It’s called Castle Core, and it’s predicted to be the hottest interior design style this year! I have been completely captivated by castles since I was a toddler, so this decorative trend is one bandwagon I can’t resist jumping on! So what is Castle Core? Let’s explore this “happily-ever-after” style together… The Castle Core home decor aesthetic—also referred to as Medieval Core or Royal Core—draws inspiration from design styles found in the Old World European castles, English manors, and French chateaux. The medieval period, or Middle Ages, lasted from approximately 500 AD to 1500 AD. This gives you 1,000 years of stylistic nuances to consider when creating this design scheme. That’s a lot of room for self-expression! Castle Core decor blends historical design styles with mythological and fantasy elements. The obvious word associations for Castle Core are Gothic, medieval, and royal, but other stylistic considerations include luxury, comfort, heraldry, elegance, vintage, and Maximalism. The perfect fairytale castle sanctuary will also include home accents that fill your space with an essence of escapism, fantasy, enchantment, romance, and drama.  Image created with Adobe Firefly. Close cousins of the Castle Core aesthetic include the English Manor style, Cottage Core, Victorian, Gothic Revival, Fairy Core, Rococo, Western Gothic, and Modern Gothic. Each of these styles creates a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era while blending contemporary sensibilities. A wide range of decorative styles overlap or fall into the category of Castle Core, but today’s focus will be on the mystical, fairy-inspired version. Think King Arthur, Harry Potter, or Grimm’s Fairy Tales. So grab your white unicorn, and let’s get started!

But it’s one of the easiest designs to transition to a spooky Halloween vibe! You can place a life-size skull on a stack of books, hang a dark-framed piece of Gothic art with weird and creepy insects on your wall, place an ornate Victorian candelabra on your desk, and add dark blankets or throw pillows to your chairs. Maybe create something of a Dracula’s castle vibe—worldly and intelligent yet dark and brooding.

Romantic Fairycore Cottage
The spring season is approaching, and cottagecore and fairycore home decor styles are becoming more prevalent. The two design aesthetics often overlap, making it easy to create magical interiors. This time of year (as winter slowly rolls into spring) is ideal for refreshing and breathing new life into your interiors. One room you can’t ignore is the bedroom. Did you know you spend a third of your life sleeping? And that does not include all the other activities in that space, such as dressing, reading, or working. So why not turn your bedroom into a romantic hideaway or enchanting escape from reality? This month’s challenge was to work on design inspiration for a bedroom that embraces a combination of cottage and fairy aesthetics to create a comfortable, romantic space you will never want to leave!

Cottagecore is an aesthetic that embraces simple, quiet living with a focus on the home, handmade and vintage items, homemade food, self-sufficiency, and a slower pace of life. The aesthetic of Cottagecore reflects the desire to live in a more romanticized way by surrounding yourself with flowery, feminine, and nostalgic things. It is the antithesis of our hectic, materialistic, modern way of life. 20 Amazon decor finds to help you create a welcoming home  Images from Amazon.com. Click the links below to view or purchase. If you are wondering what all the noise is about hygge, I wrote a whole blog on the topic, which you can read here! To summarize, hygge is about keeping your life simple and meaningful. It’s about enjoying being in the moment, the company of good friends, and the little things in life. Just to clarify, hygge is not an interior design style. It’s a way to live your life with meaning and joy.  Image by puhimec on Adobe Stock. In my previous blog, I identified nine essential ingredients in a hygge home: a neutral color palette, warm lighting, pleasing textures, nature and natural materials, pleasant scents, simple design, handmade decor, cozy nooks, and hot beverage stations. Each of the items listed below encompasses at least one of these elements. Let me know in the comments if you have purchased—or plan to purchase—one of these items. And let me know if you have incorporated the hygge mindset into your interior decorating! Amazon finds to add a little woodland charm to your home  Images from Amazon.com.

You don’t have to completely immerse yourself in a room straight from a Grimm’s fairy tale; that would be too cliche. But a subtle reminder here and there, a decorative detail that catches your eye as you enter a room, is enough to awaken the subconscious inner child who still believes that magic exists in this chaotic, unpredictable world. And even if fairies aren’t quite your thing, a little woodland magic might convince you otherwise! For the true believers among you and future converts alike, here are 21 home accents that will help you add a touch of fairy woodland magic to your living room…  Image by Cosminxp on Adobe Stock.

Click the links below to view or purchase. First of all, let’s define “Scandi”…
Scandinavian (Scandi) decor is all about simplicity and hygge. It’s about creating a warm, welcoming interior with rustic yet clean modern lines. Your decor should include natural materials like wood and fur, candles for a warm, soft glow, warm blankets for cozy snuggling, and a fireplace for warmth if you can pull it off. Consider using simple furniture, natural materials, calm colors, and plenty of texture. A Scandinavian Christmas is about celebrating the joy in the simple things the season has to offer. Keep things simple, purposeful, and uncluttered. A splash of greenery and a pop of red works well with this decor style, just don’t overdo it. You could even sneak in a bit of gold for some seasonal sparkle. The focus should be on enjoying the things found in nature during the winter season, so bring bits of the outdoors into your home with reindeer, pine trees, snowflakes, berries, pine cones, nuts, wood logs, and even birds. And don’t forget the obligatory gnomes! Gnomes protect your home and keep out negative energy.
