Room Design: Modern Rustic Glamorized

If you’ve ever passed up a beloved vintage piece because it won’t “fit” in your traditional or modern room design, then feel free to do your happy dance now because a hint of rustic or industrial can add  dimension to almost any interior.  I’m a huge fan of adding rustic elements to a modern home.  Remember that using contrasting styles or color will highlight the differences between elements, and in turn, it intensify the unique properties of each.   The result is a more dynamic experience whereby the eye is constantly engaged by something delightful.

While I love a modern space, I still have a heart for nostalgic pieces that spark a memory of times past, so I never want to box myself into a place where I can only express one side of my personality.  Modern Rustic
