RUSTIC MODERN

Rustic Modern style design began gaining popularity in the early 21st century, particularly in the 2000s, in the US as people sought to combine the simplicity and warmth of rustic design with the clean lines and functionality of modern aesthetics. This style bridges the gap between urban sophistication and rural tranquility, featuring a balance of rugged, natural elements with sleek, modern finishes, creating a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Here's how to express your style...

In a Rustic Modern home, interior details blend rustic charm with contemporary aesthetics. A-frame vaulted ceilings with wood beams, clerestory or skylight windows, tiered levels with metal railings, central stone fireplaces, and sliding barn doors evoke the rustic barn aesthetic. Whereas, floor to ceiling windows, concrete floors, & matte black detailing give a modern touch to the home.

Interior Finishes

Rustic Modern interior finishes harmonize the mix of natural materials with contemporary elements to create an inviting space with a touch of sophistication. Rough natural materials include reclaimed wood flooring, weathered wood paneling, and rustic field stone fireplaces. Soft & sleek finishes like sheepskin rugs, leather upholstery, and copper hardware will bring a warmth and elegance to the rustic space.

Rustic Modern furniture combines the charm of rustic design with clean lines and functional forms of modern aesthetics. Mixing a tufted and nail head leather sofa with a simplistic wood and metal frame lounge chair creates juxtaposition & balance to the home. Tables can be a rustic accent with live edge wood or hammered metal finishes.

Lighting highlights rustic materials with a mix of traditional and modern styles. Metal is the dominant finish with wrought iron, bronze, and copper as popular options. Lantern, circular, & antler chandeliers are statement fixtures. Whereas, lamps and sconces tend to be understated but include rustic metals & fabric shades for warmth.

Rustic Modern decoration strikes a balance between cozy vintage elements with contemporary moments. Rural landscape artwork and deer antlers provide a bold rustic touch. Whereas, antique cow bells and candle hurricanes provide an understated vintage touch. Modern elements through pottery or ironwork finalize the cohesive design.
