Modern Rustic Bedroom
The modern bedroom can include a rustic look and feel to your home. With the use of a few simple ideas, you can create a stunning living space that you can be proud of for years to come.
If you think modern and rustic are two opposing words then you could be right,
however they can be combined within the bedroom not by the use magic but by using modern bedroom furniture and a neutral colour palette comprising of egg shell blues, dusky pinks and salmon beige.
How can this be you may wonder and the key is to make the look cohesive, you need to be able to keep the room looking natural, even when introducing solid pieces of furniture such as black gloss wardrobes. The backdrop to the room needs to be soothing and calm, by using gentle colour scheme to bring the traditional atmosphere of the country look into the bedroom.
An essential part is to keep the bedroom free from distracting clutter and to focus on the amount of light you get into the room, if you have a north facing bedroom then keep the shades on the walls to the paler versions of the colours, this will keep the bedroom looking bright and fresh. If you have a south facing bedroom, then the use of stronger tones within the colour palette can be played with.
Woodwork is a key area and you want to try to avoid heavy glosses as, this is the focus of the bedroom furniture not the skirting boards or doors. Use soft whites for the woodwork; this will give an extra rustic charm.
Another area to focus on with this type of room design is to ensure your bedding has another colour dimension such as a twang of blue or a deep sumptuous rich brown. Try to avoid colours that are cool, remember it is only the furniture that should give the modern edge not the soft furnishings or bedding. The colours to avoid are pale grey, green and pale blue.
Flooring the modern rustic bedroom should really be floorboards, smoothed down to reflect their natural appearance, however if your floorboards are a bit worse for wear, then consider a laminate that reflects country charm of days gone by. This will have a tremendous effect and really brings warmth and a lived in feel to your home.
The accessories in your room can be given over to country charm and these will be down to your own personal taste. The merge between modern and rustic feeling can be achieved and the majority of it will fall into the colours you choose rather than the bedroom furniture.
