Creating an informal elegance… The key to creating a modern rustic home is to incorporate natural elements. Having an open floor plan and adding heavy timber beams to your ceilings along with modern furniture is one example. Another way is to add reclaimed wood to your walls or trim. Also, show off the stone in your fire place. Make sure to keep your tones neutral and simple in pattern. This will help with consistency and flow of the room. Large windows is another excellent way to bring the outside inside! [tribulant_slideshow gallery_id="32"]
