Rustic Interior Design For Your Home - Beautiful Homes

In today’s modern hustle and bustle there’s a new yearning for simpler times and homespun warmth, yet we still want our modern conveniences and the comfort of technology. With a little expert help, the seamless blend of these concepts can be achieved for your home!

The goal of a modern rustic interior design plan is to combine natural rural charm with modern amenities and conveniences in a balanced and coherent way. The aim is to mix contemporary pieces with natural elements and materials for a space that is both cosy and practical. If you are drawn to the unaffected appeal of farmhouse style interiors but prefer a more technology friendly interior design style then this trend might be ideal for you. So let’s look at how you can incorporate this design aesthetic into your own home.

 

What is Modern Rustic Interior Design?

A rustic theme interior usually brings the outdoors into interior decoration and incorporates nature-inspired tones and textures into basic architectural and design factors. Strongly influenced by 18th-19th century farmhouses, rustic style interior design is meant to evoke a relaxed and unpretentious country atmosphere. Modern rustic design uses this starting point and adds a contemporary twist to the space, incorporating whiter features and cleaner lines. Ideally your finished space should be a harmonious melding of the iconic rustic houses and current Nordic design trends that use simple lines and open plan spaces. This does not mean that there’s no room for variation and personal taste. Rather, with these starting points, you can adjust the modern rustic trend to best fit your home.

 

Modern Rustic Design Tip #1: Inspired by Nature

When planning your modern rustic home, you can incorporate nature into the design plan in both familiar and innovative ways. For example, using real stone for the counters in your kitchen and contrasting these with modern stainless steel appliances can polish up your space. Alternatively you might choose to use warm wood effect tiles for your flooring, giving your space added texture and appeal while keeping the practical advantages of porcelain. Keep furniture simple and minimalistic and add real plants and soft natural fabrics for the finishing touch of elegant cosiness.

Modern Rustic Design Tip #2: Stick to Neutrals

If your home interior has a lot of architectural texture, such as exposed brick walls or wooden ceilings or beams, one way to add a fresh contemporary touch is with a neutral colour. Contrast your rustic interior elements with white furniture, white walls or a large white area rug. A modern mix of neutrals will bring richness and depth to your modern rustic house design. Use a mossy green paint on rustic design walls to play against a wooden floor and reclaimed wood furniture for a soothing, soft living room. Accessorise with brass details and vintage accents for a touch of glamour.

Modern Rustic Design Tip #3: Embrace Texture

Whether you choose to place them on a wooden sideboard, cool metal tables or a more contemporary Scandinavian influenced bookshelf, a selection of wicker baskets can really accentuate the rural charm of a room. Indeed a key factor of modern rustic interior design is to layer natural and nature-inspired texture over simpler functional lines. Embrace rustic home décor in a more modern space, for example a soft throw rug to add warmth to a contemporary couch. When it comes to home interior design, integrating rustic elements, like wicker baskets, not only adds visual interest but also creates a tactile and inviting atmosphere, blending the timeless appeal of natural textures with the clean lines of modern design.

 

Modern Rustic Design Tip #4: Keep Your Bones

Rather than contrasting with or trying to camouflage the rustic bones of your home, play up exposed stone or bricks in your décor plan. Combine the rustic wall design with reclaimed wood or leather upholstered furniture in cool grey tones for finishing gloss on the rustic design foundations of your space. Add a modern touch lightly, with simple technological conveniences such as lamps or lighting fixtures.

Modern Rustic Design Tip #5: Scale Matters

If you are looking at a smaller space, modern rustic interior design needs to be especially well thought out and balanced. Pay attention to the depths of colour in your wooden, stone or leather elements so that your space retains the feeling of airiness and light while maintaining a rural homey vibe. Choose a few prominent pieces to showcase texture rather than go all out across the board to avoid a claustrophobic and crowded feel.

 

Modern Rustic Design Tip #6: Stick with Simple

To elaborate further on the point above, bathrooms are a particularly important place to keep it uncomplicated and clean. Embrace simple and organic architectural curves and nature-inspired elements such as stone counters and a wooden vanity below the sink. To really enhance the modern rustic style interior design & the existing bathroom design, choose brass or dull gold bathroom fixtures and deep green tiles.

Modern Rustic Design Tip #7: Find your Light

Let’s be clear, truly rustic lighting is not the way to go when choosing this décor theme. Effective light fixtures will help you brighten up your rustic living spaces and give depth and interest to your room. Contemporary lighting solutions are a must to give your modern rustic house design both vibrancy and practicality. That said, nothing prevents your light source from mimicking those of a rural setting or the natural environment, such as beautiful paper lanterns or a faux fireplace. Or add personality and glamour with a chandelier!

Modern Rustic Design Tip #2: Stick to Neutrals

If your home interior has a lot of architectural texture, such as exposed brick walls or wooden ceilings or beams, one way to add a fresh contemporary touch is with a neutral colour. Contrast your rustic interior elements with white furniture, white walls or a large white area rug. A modern mix of neutrals will bring richness and depth to your modern rustic house design. Use a mossy green paint on rustic design walls to play against a wooden floor and reclaimed wood furniture for a soothing, soft living room. Accessorise with brass details and vintage accents for a touch of glamour to enhance your living room design.

Modern Rustic Design Tip #9: Avoid the Future

No, we don’t mean to suggest you should renounce technology and shun the modern world. We just mean that futuristic styles and looks have no place in your modern rustic home. Avoid bold geometric shapes, futuristic design elements such as moulded polymer furniture and stay away from pop colours or bright hues. When trying to create modern rustic design, wall colours should either be neutral or fully embrace the organic imperfection of the natural world.

 

Modern Rustic Design Tip #10: A Slight Touch
If you find the neutral palette of your modern rustic interior design scheme needs some leavening, add a small dose of colour by picking from nature. Mossy greens, deep grey blues and warm burgundy will play well within the scheme while adding interest and dynamism.

 

Another area where a small touch is enough is when combining rustic and modern elements  in non equal amounts. For instance, in a modern room with smooth lines, neutral walls and simple furniture add faux fur cushions or a reclaimed wood bar for a hint of sophisticated, rustic home décor gloss.

Modern Rustic Design Tip #11: Take it Outdoors

Rustic decorating is often at its best in indoor/outdoor living spaces; such as semi-covered balconies or screened-in porches. A modern rustic style interior design solution that doubles as an entertainment space, is an outdoor kitchen or barbecue area. Use terracotta tiles, stone surfaces and outdoor safe furniture. Embellish with real plants and greenery for a modern rustic décor hack that is easy to recreate.


5 Quick Guide Tips to Rustic Style
 

  • Nature Inspired Colours

    Taking inspiration from nature and the earth, browns, beige, dark greys and wood colours paired with simple neutrals are the core palette of modern rustic interior design.

  • Natural Materials

    Furniture or architectural elements are made of wood or play up natural material textures and finishes. Natural fibres and refurbished or repurposed raw materials are lovely. Terracotta, stone and slate are possibilities as well.

  • Animals and Nature

    Leather or faux leather furniture are a natural fit in modern rustic houses. Furthermore, animal print fabrics, faux fur and animal inspired statement pieces can be brought in to enhance either a wild or pastoral vibe.

  • Plants and Greenery

    Live plants and real greenery can add interest to empty spaces in a room as well as a refreshing splash of colour. They are an ideal way to invite the outdoors indoors and seamlessly tie in with nature inspired décor.

  • Warm and Welcoming

    The emphasis in a modern rustic theme interior is on the warm and welcoming rather than the dramatic or exciting. The blending of quaint and sophisticated can be best achieved with comfortable furniture and soft fabrics.
