Modern Rustic Design

Modern rustic style connects interior design with its organic roots to create a warm and inviting space. In a modern world full of technology and manufactured materials, the charm of rustic design appeals to us, drawing the mind back to simpler times and celebrating the art of repurposing.

Characteristics:

• Structure. Exposed beams of wood or stone can achieve the cabin-look that is synonymous with rustic design.
• Colors. Cozy, inviting colors in rich shades of green, blue, khaki, and red are very popular. Traditional patterns and patchwork are also common – think handmade quilts, embroidery, and needlepoint textiles.
• Accessories. Found objects, along with DIY projects, folk art, and vintage accessories, all coexist well within modern rustic design.
• Furniture. Wood and reclaimed lumber are staples in rustic design. It’s all about the natural appearance of passed-down family heirlooms and repurposed furnishings that showcase sturdy woods.
