But to pull off the perfect look takes a combination of styles. Here\u2019s our secret &#8211; don\u2019t ever let your pieces fight with each other. When you place them, surround them with opposite textures, patterns, and neutral colors, allowing them to be the star.

Modern rustic room pieces shouldn\u2019t match, but instead, complement each other with different colors and textures.

We use d\u00e9cor inspired by nature, including different types and species of woods, flowers, leaves, metal, and rocks. Species of wood with more character, such as spalted maple or walnut, can add lots of warmth to the room. Adding a distressed finish to a modern piece of furniture will achieve that rustic look. A statement piece including a river table or wall art featuring preserved flowers can bring nature inside and is definitely a conversation starter. Using live edge wood with unfinished or black steel gives it a modern twist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-78375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3.jpg\" alt=\"bedroom with earthy colors and wood paneled wall\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1120-Cerro-Vista-Dr-3-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporate earthy colors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warm and earthy colors are a great way to design a rustic home interior that lasts all year.

You can easily give any space a rustic, cozy vibe by simply using warm earth tones.

With the artwork and d\u00e9cor, you have an opportunity to add personality and color that complements those natural materials. Wall art that is inspired by looking out your favorite window at the cabin, can give you the feeling of being on vacation all year long. When you add accessories, like pillows, you can choose nature-inspired motifs with a bright and modern twist to brighten up your space.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-78376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16.jpg\" alt=\"fireplace with rocking chair and patterned rug\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8800-Hastings-Ln-16-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rustic home d\u00e9cor brings the outdoors inside<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embracing nature and weaving it into your home\u2019s design is an easy way to create a rustic look.

This principle is becoming prevalent in interior design, focusing on accepting natural imperfections of material and emphasis on nature-inspired materials and finishes. There are multiple ways one can incorporate environmentally friendly finishes. For example, by using Limewash paint for the walls, natural fabrics like linen and cotton for window treatments, and upholstery. Using uncoated metals that patina over time adds character to a space. Lastly, natural wood finishes to cabinets and case goods are a great way to bring a rustic vibe to your space.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also opt for wood furnishings, as recommended by <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/wallbedssac.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wallbeds N More.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Co-owner and certified interior designer Laurie Rollins advises, \u201cOne way to achieve a modern rustic look in a bedroom is with the warmth of a sleek real wood bed.

I typically stray from canvas, but it honestly works well with big spaces. Much of the content is my photography of abandoned and rustic scenes of Western North Carolina. A majority of the other artwork is all black and white. Some of its digital fine art, and others are actual vintage film. When I can find vintage frames, inexpensively in thrift stores, I grab them and make prints that fit accordingly.

Keep your space comfortable and cozy by focusing on elements that encourage sitting back and relaxing, like a large ottoman where you can put your feet up, or big comfy throw pillows and blankets you can curl up with while you watch a movie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sertaoshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sertao Shop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s Josh Thompson states, \u201cThere\u2019s a growing trend in bringing natural elements into our homes in ways that are modern yet emphasized with a rustic touch. Although, modern and rustic may sound like polar opposites on the design spectrum, blending the two styles can be quite complementary. Some aspects of a modern rustic look include raw, natural elements that give an outdoor-like appeal.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thompson continues, \u201cMaterials such as wood and stone are highly desired in achieving the right look. In addition, a contrast between light and dark colors also plays an important role and helps in achieving rustic. When adding final touches, one needs to consider the importance of lighting fixtures. Rustic-looking light shades are also desirable as wooden light shades complement the modern rustic interior.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Era Chandok of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mogulinterior.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mogul Interior<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, sums the style up saying, \u201cWarm, and cohesive, modern rustic farmhouses are filled with casual, lived-in charm. Taking elements from the ancient architectural design, and mixing them with practical and modern fittings creates a unique statement. The modern rustic design creates a collected, fresh look, yet one that gets worn with time. Using reclaimed distressed wood, like the subtle hues of the carved wood cabinets creates a gathered over time ambiance. Using an old steel sink to convert a rustic chest into a vanity for the bathroom is a great idea. Reclaimed old doors are used to make these chests, and the woods are very earthing. Some have metals like iron and brass that balance the energy in the room by grounding the negative ions into the earth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern rustic home d\u00e9cor can be an easy way to create a cozy and cohesive style in your house or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/rentals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rental apartment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
