The sleek lines and clean understated look of modern design have always appealed to me. But, I also enjoy the rustic look of ceiling beams, wood flooring and worn antiques.
Lets take the challenge of making a modern room look warm and
inviting. Modern smooth surfaces, sharp angles, geometric shapes, and
crisp lines form the foundation of the look. But it needs some added
warmth to look and feel appealing and homey. So how do you get that
warmth without sacrificing the bold look you wanted in the first place.
With texture and a touch of rustic.
Here are a few
rooms that do that well. Building a very modern wall unit, for example
out of a rustic knotty pecan wood for example. Notice how in
monochromatic rooms, the contrast of woods texture can warm it up and create a unique look.
