Rustic Interior Design Inspiration
By Kamya Nainani // August 28th, 2020
Natural, elegant and cozy. Inspired by naturally occurring elements, the effortlessly timeless style of rustic design elegantly brings out these terms. The word ‘rustic’ inspires an image of warmth, comfort and sincerity. Of all interior styles, this one has created a collection of spaces that emphasizes naturally aged materials, the most prominent of those being wood and stone. Its core relationship with the environment and earthy colors has made it a magnet for those who’d want to connect with the outside world a little more. From cottages to castles, we often traditionally relate rustic architectural elements to dark, heavy and moody color pallets with authentically natural shades of brown.
However, the dynamic of rustic design has taken a change to include more contemporary components, giving it a fresh and unique look while also staying true to their original organic roots. The following few features are what makes today’s rustic design truly striking.
WOODEN BEAMS
Raw and refurbished, wooden beams add the perfect sense of character to a rustic interior space. When left unpolished and unrefined, the beams provide the perfect base set up to creating your very own rustic paradise!
light and open
One way to upscale your rustic space to make to add a more modern look is to open up you’re the room as much as you can. This comes with an open floor plan supporting lighter colored furniture coupled with large windows surrounded by greenery. The lighter furniture does the job of lifting the heaviness from the space, while the consistently present element of the flora preserves the aura of a rustic space!
organic elements
Probably one of the most prominent features present in a rustic space is bringing in nature from the outside into your home. Whether it’s conserving withered-out objects by re-using older items or to build a room around a stone wall, it’s the organic-looking elements that really seal the deal. Bringing in neutral colors and re-using older décor items also go a long way aside from classically using stone and wood!
