Modern-rustic design is a pairing of two classic interior trends that shouldn't work together on paper, but form a flawless, and beautiful blend of styles in the flesh.

This is a style spin on the much loved farmhouse design. Offering a more mature and smart style for your home.

What Is Modern-Rustic Design?

This decor style is a wonderful encapsulation of warmth and rustic charm, yet with modern amenities.

Natural elements and materials are one of the defining elements of modern-rustic, with preserved and exposed natural architectural elements such as brick, and beams becoming an integral part of the aesthetic. Large windows and open plan floors help to bring the outdoors in, along with swathes of natural lighting.

The colour scheme focuses on simplicity and neutrality as the style is very much about creating a comfortable, non cluttered and modern living space.
