There are times when a person wants to reminisce about his past and go back down memory lane when life was simpler and modernity had not taken over the world to this extent.
The rustic feel that our old houses used to give is still something that a person wants to improvise in the new setting or the new interior of his home. We thought of amalgamating modern interior design with a cozy rustic interior that will be comfortable and inviting at the same time.
Let’s start the journey so that you can take all the inspiration of transforming your space into a rustic modern interior with the help of beautiful high-quality materials and creative touches of your own.
The Challenge
Both themes are very different from each other. It was a tough task to bring them both together, keeping in mind that the final look of the space should reflect both themes. The living room and dining room in question need to be aesthetically decorated so that it appears to be cozy yet modern and not to forget that rustic touch that is missing from homes nowadays.
So, the main challenge on hands was:
- Establish a dining area with a modern rustic dining table
- Dining chairs that give a modern touch
- A versatile sofa that can be used as a foundation for the living room
- Creation of a stylish focal point for both the dining area and the living room.
The Inspiration
Modern rustic interior style encompasses an array of aesthetics, giving ample room to the designer for creativity and showcasing their own ideas.
To sum it up, there are time-honored elements mixed with contemporary touches so that the perfect rustic modern look can be achieved. The inspiration for this particular theme comes from all directions. For instance, there are a variety of experimental images available on the internet that offer this particular look. There is a variety of stuff available that delivers a chic yet comfy, modern rustic look for living rooms and dining areas exuding charm and effortlessness in its own unique way.
The inspiration can also be taken from the contemporary design that has a lot of weathered or raw touches, cozy layers of textile and distressed finishes.
The Mood Board
For the moodboard, it is very clear to have a distinctive vision about what to create. The moodboard will have its own unique and vibrant touch, having an impressive vision and an outstanding style feel that will attract everyone who enters the space.
We decided to amalgamate aesthetics that were radiant and elusive with finest materials of nature like raw wood finishes and the fabric that is gentle and neutral in color. The color scheme we thought should be beige and grey with subtle hints of black, brass and of course green, to have that organic touch to the area.
We also thought that as we are adding modernity to the walls and other interior elements, the furniture should be rustic as well as classic to have the comfort quotient. The rest of the key materials were rugged cabinets, textured decor and everything that lent out an air of rustic refinement.
Modern Rustic Living Room And Dining Area Design
Designing of a modern rustic living room is a handful of tasks. It needs to be perfectly blended with luxury and tranquility. The visual balance is very important as that is the focal point which will offer the timeless and unique perspective of this design once achieved.
The living room is an area where most of the time is spent, so it has to be bright, radiating life with a feeling of relaxation and not to forget to be stylish at the same time.
The main emphasis is on the upbeat style so that the beauty of simplicity can remain intact. No fancy elements or decoration pieces are added to eliminate the visual noise.
Addition of a rug will serve both as a functional as well as comfortable element for the dedicated conversational area. Provision of multiple seating is a must for everyone to relax and enjoy after a hectic day at work. Again, to top it off, a TV is mandatory for the area to gather and discuss current affairs or just relax and unwind watching a movie.
Now let’s talk about the dining area. We decided to elevate it in a rustic modern way by adding a dining table that has upbeat aesthetics and charm. The clean lines, natural materials and organic shapes will stream it in a cohesive manner but we need to add a decorative value.
