Home Design Trends: Rustic Chic

Undoubtedly one of the biggest home design trends of this year has been the rustic chic look and this is seemingly the go-to style for homeowners and designers alike, looking to create an elegant, yet also warm and inviting design.

This design trend offers great versatility and can be adapted to suit virtually any home effortlessly combining style with tradition. The addition of rustic elements can also give the rooms in your home an instant timeless feel.

Inside

A key principle of the rustic chic trend is to keep things simple; consequently, neutral tones are a great option for introducing a more rustic feel into your home and these can also keep your homes interior looking fresh and bright too.

When it comes to furniture, natural wooden furnishings are the ideal option, adding a more traditional feel to your home. Natural fabrics such as cotton are also a staple of the rustic chic trend and are the perfect choice when it comes to adding a bit of a rustic charm to your upholstery items.

Accessories, such as some beautiful handmade ceramics, a vintage clock, or even a decorative mirror, are also a great way to introduce some rustic chic into your home.

Outside

You can also bring a bit of rustic chic style to the exterior of your property too, by introducing a few rustic design features into your garden. For example, there are a variety of ways you can add a traditional country feel to the patio area in your garden, such as by adding an inviting set of table and chairs.

Reclaimed oak designs and painted metal options are perfect for this and can bring a great vintage feel to your patio area. Patios are often extensions of our home and can make for some great additional living space. Installing patio awnings is an ideal way of ensuring you can enjoy your new rustic-inspired garden whatever the weather.

Hopefully this will have inspired you to bring a bit of rustic chic to your home. Here at Caribbean Blinds we are manufacturers and installers of a range of beautiful, high quality awnings and exterior blinds.
