Have a soft spot for ‘Farmcore’? We have some beautiful pieces for you to bring this look to life. For interior design clients in urban areas who yearn for a simpler life, the ‘Farmcore’ aesthetic is a way of introducing the romance and elegant simplicity of country living into the city via furniture and soft furnishings.

Also known as ‘Cottagecore’ or ‘Countrycore’, at its heart this trend is a yearning for harmony with nature. The colour palette complements the great outdoors, with hero shades like dark green, grey, yellow, muddy brown, or cream white. Earthy tones also work well, such as mustard, teal and rust. Materials are woven, plaited, tactile or with a rustic feel.

If you’re looking for ‘Farmcore’ products for a project, we have three gorgeous pieces to get you started, all from exhibitors at Decor + Design & The Australian International Furniture Fair (AIFF) which will take place 13 – 16 July at Melbourne Exhibition Centre.

The Leona Rug From Miss Amara

Miss Amara has gained a serious following for their stylish rugs designed in Australia. From washable to wool rugs, they have the right piece for every space.

We love the ‘Leona’ – a stunning, handcuffed textured wool rug featuring the natural tones of blended ivory and beige, complemented by a contrasting lined tribal pattern in brown beige. Leona’s neutral colour palette and unique design make it a timeless and versatile rug and the perfect addition to a range of spaces, particularly for a ‘Cottagecore’ or ‘Farmcore’ design.
