Rustic vogue: a new look for interiors

(Image credit: Abigail Ahern)

What is rustic vogue, and why is the interiors' world buzzing about this latest trend? Rustic vogue is an elegant, sophisticated look. It works alongside your home's original features and adds natural textures and accessories in deep, bold or dark colors. 

Think of it this way: the property's bone structure – its original fireplaces, floorboards, country cottage doors and windows provide the rustic. Carefully chosen accessories and colors will provide the vogue. 

Interior designer Abigail Ahern , aka the queen of dark interiors, sums up the look perfectly. 'Rustic Vogue is the cooler, more sophisticated big sister of cottage décor,' she says. 'It’s a little more cultured, a little more citified, glamorous and refined. 

'It marries together elements of country: think wooden floors, vintage rugs, hand-thrown pots, and lots of botanicals. Then adds in more contemporary and architectural elements. For instance, beautiful modern lighting in shiny gold, contemporary artwork, or a beautiful sculptural Willy Guhl chair crafted from concrete. Lust-worthy pieces that make you swoon.'

'In terms of color, anything goes,' says Abigail. 'Many people opt for a neutral scheme but I twist it up one stage further and go for soothing, super-restorative, dark, earthy colors with a complementary neutral palette. The thing about this look is that it offers big personality without feeling too country, so statement pieces like artwork, mirrors and objects are key.

'And for materials, wood, clay, cashmere, concrete, and metal all work. Timeless materials matched with warmth nail the look.'

Ana Moisin, head interior designer at OKA agrees. 'The rustic vogue trend is perfect for mixing the old and the new, where existing sentimental vintage pieces are set against modern sofas, dining sets and coffee tables,' she says. 

'For a timeless look, opt for natural or dark muted tones rather than bold patterns on large furniture such as sofas and armchairs. This will ensure a well-balanced color scheme that complements the rich architectural details. 

'To finish this look, work with a variety of textures, from luscious velvets to solid aged timbers and rattan. Make sure to focus the accent color tones and stronger patterns on the small accessories like table lamps, rugs and throws.'

'The rustic vogue trend is perfect for those who love that cosy cottage feel but want more finesse,' adds Simon Blackely, managing director at Ian Mankin .

'Our approach is to take beautifully crafted heirloom pieces and antiques with a lived-in, homely feel and combine these with beautifully finished textiles in natural yarns such as crisp linen, cotton and smooth wools. It's not about slouchy laundered fabrics and a raw unfinished feel, it’s a sharp tailored finish. 

'This is a considered design style. It’s perfect for adding personality and color to properties where you may not want to commit to paint’s permanence.'

If you want to learn more ways how to blend Rustic Vogue into your home, here are five tips you could use as a guide.

Avoid Over-Decorating: Rustic Vogue is characterized by exposed ceiling beams and wooden floors to wall paneling. This could already be astounding to the space because of the different patterns and tones. We suggest decorating the space with functional pieces. Keep the layout simple to avoid overdecorating. Sure, it’s fine to add sculptures or to hang paintings, but make sure that it won’t make the space look and feel bustling and restless.

Balance Contemporary and Antique Pieces: Mix contemporary art with vintage pieces or antique furniture to create a calm and modern space. You could also add graphically patterned tiles or industrial lighting to tone down the rustic interior.

Create Cozy Alcoves: When incorporating Rustic Vogue into your home, it’s important to balance comfort and style. One of the easiest ways to create a cozy Modern Rustic space is to carve out a reading nook.

Don’t Be Afraid to Mix and Match: Rustic Vogue is all about mixing artisan-made elements with heritage pieces you’ve received from your grandparents or family member. As we have mentioned, carving out a reading nook is one of the easiest ways to create a cozy Modern Rustic space. Place a locally made reading chair and layer a family quilt to complete the look.

Take Inspiration From Your Home’s Environment: Bring the beauty of nature into your home by taking inspiration from your home’s surroundings. Choose native wood, pottery, stonework, and lots of botanicals to add depth to the space and to create an organic feel.

Rustic style in the interior of a country house: authentic and colorful design

Nature and natural materials attract solid and morally mature people like a magnet. The desire to live outside the city is most often due to precisely these reasons, and the apartment is not able to give this feeling to its owner.

In vain it is considered that this is just a direction in design, such an interior is a lifestyle. And it is so diverse and rich that it captivates from the first moment and for life. nine0003

Rustic-style suburban housing: design features

A rural house, remote from the city noise, bustle and crowds, is a dream of true gourmets of inner peace and connoisseurs of the surrounding beauty. In order to emphasize the charisma of your home, instill in it the warm spirit of the village, burden it with comfort, you need to create the interior correctly, and observe some conditions:

The design of a rustic house should continue the building itself, saturate it. The interior involves a mixture of modern comfort with the coziness of a country estate or a village hut. And it should be as harmonious as possible. This can be achieved by avoiding extremes. First of all, it is worth deciding on the depth of immersion in the subject. nine0003

If the whole village house is decorated in the same style, you will have no problem moving from one room to another. If you decide to give this style a part of the house, or the kitchen, combine classics or minimalism with it. You should not go to extremes and make the house a set for a film about a village in the 18th century - you will quickly get tired of such an immersion, and modern things will look ridiculous.

Golden mean - furniture and textiles in discreet, natural colors, wood, stone, simplicity of forms, household appliances and crockery in retro style. The interior will only benefit from this. nine0003

Décor with which the house finds its soul

A small cozy wooden house or a family estate is a place where the family goes at any time, where guests like to gather. His soul is hospitable hosts and little things dear to all hearts. It is thanks to the decor that the house acquires its features, the hand applied by the owner makes it animated.

Most people associate rustic interiors with colorful and motley rugs, embroidered curtains and towels, log-like walls. But this is far from true. Starting to understand more deeply, you will find that you can choose a country interior, or Provence, but they still have the same essence - a country estate, where each room is a continuation of the previous one. nine0003

Textile Features

A rustic home needs soft fabrics, delicate drapery lines, starched tablecloths and napkins. Textiles are a must, and the living room is its territory. Curtains, curtains, bedspreads, sofas, soft pillows for chairs, napkins - everything should be subordinated to the general surroundings.

Choose linen, cotton, wool - materials that cling to the hand. Colors close to nature will create a calm and warm atmosphere. nine0003

Do not forget about the tablecloth, it must be indispensable and combined with the curtains. A wooden table covered with a snow-white tablecloth is a symbol of hospitable hospitality.

Sofa cushions in patchwork style, like blankets or with embroidered pillowcases, will only enhance the atmosphere of softness and comfort.

Kitchen and bath towels in pastel shades will add warmth to the kitchen and bathroom. Textile rugs laid out on a wooden floor perfectly accentuate the interior.

Skip the juicy, trendy colors for contemporary style, and go for natural, natural shades that continue the natural ones. Modern textiles are quite suitable for these purposes. nine0003

Wood in the interior

The interior should be emphasized with wooden elements. Starting from the ceiling, and ending with photo frames and mirrors, wood can be subtle and elegant, or it can be a rough, brutal element of your design.

To create the spirit of a chalet, country, Russian village style, a high ceiling with exposed beams, or imitation of beams over a painted ceiling, natural and simple furniture will fit into a rustic interior. Rough finishing of doorways with wood cracked from time to time, a floorboard, or a laminate under a wiped floor, a wooden table, will create a feeling of antiquity, good quality. The village outside the walls should be felt inside. nine0003

Lighter directions, such as Provence, Peisan style, include wood decor, but in an elegant execution: the wood is covered with paint, the lines are thin and more graceful, there are no rough and large details in the design. The interior plays with cute trinkets.

Frames for mirrors, photos, window and picture framing should be kept in the same style. Properly selected furniture made of natural wood will only enhance the overall mood, put an end to creating a harmonious interior. nine0003

Rustic motifs in basic styles

A house in nature, adequately decorated for living and recreation, can be so individual that you will never find another such interior, even slightly reminiscent of it. Creating your own, understandable only to the owner of the rustic style, perhaps the main thing is to decide on the direction. The interior, built coherently, step by step, will not allow to break the general line.

Country direction

American farmers have made a grandiose contribution to the formation of this style and interior. The simplicity and authenticity of the design can bring the spirit of American shepherds' housing even into the home of a Russian banker, and most importantly, the room will look decent, albeit simple. nine0003

Large window openings, leather, wood and stone, rough as a cowboy's hand.

Textiles in indigo shades with a hint of denim, and of course bright interior details. It can be seemingly out of place, flashy-colored appliances, sofa cushions, a mirror or drawers in the bathroom.

Furniture in such a house must be chosen exclusively natural.

The main thing is to choose one object that will catch the eye. The combination of three colors, or a tone transition from dark to light, will add some intrigue to the design of the room. Rustic chic is provided to the owner of the interior with a photo. nine0003

Russian rustic style

If you think that it is the easiest way to repeat the Russian style at home, you are deeply mistaken. Rustic Russian style houses are one of the most interesting projects. Rough wooden decor and linen tablecloths will not cope with the surroundings, if you do not take into account the basic conditions:

  1. it is necessary to decorate the whole house in the Russian style, or use only free-standing structures, for example, a gazebo; nine0014
  2. a house with a Russian-style interior will look deliberately fabulous if you overload the design with authentic details;
  3. minimalism is the best friend of a Russian village home;

Minimal wood processing, textiles with rough weave, deliberately simple lines, furniture in retro style - this will bring the village house closer to the desired one, and the Russian style will sparkle with all its colors

Chalet style

Hunting lodge - a place where the feeling of unity with nature is maximum. A rustic country house in the style of a chalet speaks of remoteness from the city, a calm lifestyle, regularity and stability.

The chalet can be made in both wooden and brick houses. The main lines are rustic design, easy to match with modern furniture in classic or minimalist style.

Here you can safely combine a wooden table and a stone top, but you need to be careful with the emphasis on bright details - they are always superfluous in this direction. The house will breathe freshness if you do not load it with heavy and complex furniture. nine0003

Provence direction

Sunshine on the walls, pastel colors, cute trinkets and a floral print. A rustic Provence-style interior deserves to be one of the priorities in choosing a country home setting.

The rustic motif of the French hinterland is quite difficult to correctly disperse in the interior - you can get carried away and get a rural underground, or vice versa - get an insufficiently complete rustic image.

Provence is dominated by white color and delicate shades, natural wood Delicate fabrics coexist with coarse iron forging and wool. nine0003

Small colored tiles, glazed bricks, whitewashed beams, rustic painted floor. All this is framed by curtains and napkins with a floral print. A gentle unity of rudeness with grace.

Rustic style in the general interior of a country house

If the entire interior of a country house is strictly maintained in one stylistic direction, the owners will not experience dissonance when moving from one room to another, it will be easier to choose decor items, to furnish the rooms correctly. The house will only benefit from this. You choose the Russian style, or Provence - you will not be a loser, the main thing is not to bring the design of one style into another. nine0014

Entrance hall decor

The rustic style of interior design has even touched the threshold from which the visitor receives information about the owner. Such a house is an open book, and the hallway is a visiting card. The house is just as beautiful inside as it is outside.

Simplicity of design, geometric lines, bright and spacious room - everything you need for a complete immersion in rustic style. Bright details, such as rugs, shelves, chair drapery, will dilute the simplicity. nine0003

Kitchen and utensils as decorative elements

The kitchen is the focus of style and its fusion with the comfort of modernity. The interior of a rustic-style kitchen needs to be thought out so that household appliances, of which there are many in this room, easily fit into the overall picture. Here, built-in appliances will come to the rescue, which will be hidden by the facades of the kitchen, the interior, thanks to this, will not suffer.

The stove should be the center and its choice is the starting point from which to build the environment. Natural wood, stone, textured fabrics, faucets and furniture elements in copper and bronze. Here you should avoid chrome parts. nine0003

Crockery that is best placed on open or glazed shelves should continue the quality and stability of the entire kitchen. Cast iron and copper will fit perfectly into the rustic surroundings.

Napkins and tablecloths are best taken out at the time of setting the table, which is best left open during normal times. A wooden countertop, or a painted version is a worthy choice. The Russian rural style is clearly emphasized by the large hospitable table.

How to arrange a living room

The room where the family spends time together should have a center. The house grants this right to the living room. This is either a large rustic table, or a hearth - a fireplace. The center of the room must be highlighted. Woolen carpets of soothing colors and comfortably arranged sofas are ideal for this.

Creating a rustic living room interior is second only to the entrance hall, as these are usually adjoining spaces. Do not skimp on light shades, make the ceiling higher, or decorate it with a false beam. Simple and comfortable furniture, wooden frames of paintings and mirrors, soft shades of curtains will bring the desired effect to the rustic surroundings. nine0003

For a rustic style living room with a similarly designed kitchen, sometimes enough is enough, and many do just that, allowing other rooms to submit to the styles chosen by the masters of the bedrooms.

Bedroom decoration

Many, imagining the interior of a rustic bedroom, see quilted blankets, pillows laid with nesting dolls, embroidered curtains. Could be so. But there are many options, and now, it is quite easy to implement rustic minimalism for a bedroom in a rather colorful design. nine0003

The simplicity of a wooden bed accommodates a quality orthopedic mattress, warm shades of curtains, additional curtains, wooden elements on the walls or a block house, walls to be painted in beige tones. The room and furniture are both functional.

Children's room

Interior in the style of a country house will create a nursery, ideal for a child. In this room, maximum light and space are the fundamental ideas. Natural materials and clean country air are what parents can give to a child. Simplicity of design, light decor, the creation of which, most likely, the child will take over. A rustic children's room does not need plastic furniture or artificial surfaces - everything inside should breathe nature, just like the house itself. nine0014

Design: Maxim Noda

Fireplace - comfort and living warmth

Rustic wooden house with live fire has a soul. The family will always strive to the hearth in the evening, and the children will always return to the village parental shelter.

A fireplace in the living room or bedroom is a frequent rustic host around which the overall decoration is shaped. The room with him becomes authentic.

Wood burning fireplace, electric fireplace or false fireplace - the choice is huge. When a blizzard howls outside, inside you will not only find yourself warm, but you will feel all the charm of a living fire. nine0003

Design: Andrey Volkov

When to use this style

People who appreciate the smell of natural wood, who live with open windows and open curtains, sooner or later choose a rustic style. The apartment becomes irrelevant.

Unity with nature, return to the origins, rustic flavor will be appreciated by people who have inner harmony or strive for it.

Friends will always be reaching out to your house, and an evening spent with family in the living room will be truly restorative, just like sleeping in your lovingly furnished bedroom. nine0003

However, those who want to equip the house comfortably and with taste should not despair - the good old village comfort will come to the rescue.

Over its long history, country music has acquired a huge number of variations, adapting to the national characteristics of different countries and absorbing the local flavor. There are three main varieties. nine0003

  1. Russian country style
  2. English Country
  3. French Provence

A fireplace in the living room creates a warm and pleasant atmosphere

A bedroom in a tree will look very nice

A rustic kitchen is a great design option. It will be a pleasure to cook on it

Each of these styles is individual and reflects the cultural traditions of their country, but the overall concept is still the same - naturalness, simplicity and comfort. nine0003

Unity with nature also plays an important role in interior design, because one of the main principles of rustic style is the rejection of artificial materials in favor of natural ones. Particular preference is given to wood, although stone is also widely used.

The decoration of a village house is distinguished by deliberate rudeness. You can flaunt floor beams, do not be shy about clumsy plaster and hand-knit furniture - all this will only add originality. Practicality instead of excesses is the basic law of creating a rustic interior, but this does not mean that you should give up decorations and forget about beauty. On the contrary, it is worth paying special attention to them. nine0003

Wood-burning stove in the interior will take you back a few years

Country style is characterized by a large number of decor items. Invariable attributes are carpets, which are laid not only on the floor, but also hung on the walls, an abundance of natural textiles, pillows on chairs, a table covered with a tablecloth or a lace napkin. Hand-made interior details are especially welcome. Knitting, embroidery, patchwork technique - any handmade only benefits the creation of comfort, and the rustic style opens up great scope for imagination and creativity. nine0003

But before you add accessories to the interior, you should think about the color palette. Country style gives its preference to natural shades and muted, soft tones. Pastel colors are also popular. When choosing a color scheme, there are no strict restrictions, but fluorescent should be avoided. The absence of flashy colors and neon creates a peaceful atmosphere and does not strain your eyesight.

The atmosphere of rural comfort can be easily created both in an apartment and in a country house. nine0003

Finishing and most of the interior items are made of wood. For wall cladding, both wooden panels and solid logs are used. Russian rustic style is uncomplicated, but not without appeal. nine0003

The furniture is maximally simplified. In lighting, lamps with a lampshade or kerosene are used. For the Russian style, the presence of a large chest in the house is characteristic. Rustic style in the interior of a country house will help create a Russian stove. This practical thing is used not only for heating, but also for cooking. Near the stove in the village house there are corresponding attributes - a woodpile with firewood for kindling, a poker, a shovel and a tong with cast irons.

You can decorate your home in the Russian style with patchwork quilts and painted pottery, and hang cross-stitch or panels made from natural materials on the walls. nine0003

In such a kitchen you will enjoy cooking

A candle on the wall will perfectly complement the decor

In the English style, design issues were approached thoroughly. Stone and brickwork is often used in the wall decoration, and the furniture is distinguished by its massiveness: a separate dining room will be required for the dining table, and a king-sized four-poster bed will look appropriate in the bedroom. Armchairs have high backs and are made of wood, and then covered with leather and decorated with decorative carvings. Usually they are located in the living room next to the fireplace. nine0003

In the colors of English country, light tones (beige, gray) closely coexist with rich shades (chocolate, red-brown, dark green).

For decor, heavy dense fabrics in a cage are used. They are used to make covers for furniture, curtains, blankets, decorative pillows and other interior decorations.

Against the backdrop of other rustic styles, Provence is the most romantic and dreamy. It is characterized by light colors (especially white and blue), delicate pastel shades and floral patterns. The decor sometimes uses a bright red accent.

Unlike English country furniture, Provence furniture is light, elegant and usually comes in light pastel colors. The upholstery often uses floral ornaments, sometimes a cage or a strip. Furniture is also artificially aged to give the interior a retro touch. nine0003

The walls are covered with plain plaster and the floors are covered with terracotta tiles or white painted planks.

French rustic style is about elegance and getting rid of bulky unnecessary details, but some additional elements are still acceptable. The Provence-style interior can be decorated with homemade lace napkins, a bouquet of wild flowers in a porcelain vase, or wood painting.

Wooden walls are the foundation of rustic style

Rustic styles are not similar to each other, each of them has its own history associated with the national characteristics of local peoples. For many years, the main goal of country style was practicality and convenience. And what defines the rustic style in the interior today?

  1. Finishing materials are wood and stone.
  2. Finishing is deliberately simple and rough.
  3. Furniture mainly made of wood, simple and durable, with a retro effect. nine0015
  4. A lot of handmade elements, in other words - handmade.
  5. The decor uses an abundance of textiles (curtains, blankets, tablecloths, napkins).
  6. In country houses, stoves and fireplaces serve as sources of heat.

For curtains, sofa covers and other textile items, you should choose natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen. Sofa cushions can be decorated with embroidery - handmade, made with soul, will transform any interior. nine0003

The ideal material for living room flooring is wood, but laminate can also be used. It is also worth covering it with a soft carpet or rug.
