At Round Table Design, we’ve been seeing a trend toward the Modern Rustic interior design style lately! During the pandemic, many people moved out of cities and purchased homes in more remote areas. We’ve seen it all – from sprawling ranch-style homes to secluded cabin getaways, and everything in between! While each of these projects is distinctly unique, they share a common theme: Embracing the character of their rustic locales while also embodying modern elegance.
The Modern Rustic interior design style is characterized by the combination of rugged natural beauty with clean lines and sophisticated palettes. It employs old-world charm and new-age refinement.
Below, we’re sharing some of our favorite photos of our Modern Rustic work – along with tips and tricks for striking that perfect balance of old and new, rustic and chic.
