Chesmar’s Barrow model home blends rustic charm with chic elegance, creating a space that feels inviting, comfortable, and stylish. If you’re looking to infuse your home with a similar vibe, here are five key elements inspired by Chesmar’s model home that you can incorporate to achieve a rustic-chic aesthetic.
Nothing quite captures the essence of rustic-chic like the inclusion of warm leather. Incorporate leather sofas, armchairs, or ottomans to your living space, and opt for rich, earthy tones like deep brown or cognac to evoke a sense of warmth and comfort. Leather adds a luxurious feel and a sense of rugged charm that defines the rustic aspect of this coveted look.
Wood is a cornerstone of the rustic-chic aesthetic. Create depth and visual interest by incorporating different wooden textures throughout your home. Mix and match furniture pieces with various wood finishes, such as distressed, reclaimed, or natural wood. From coffee tables to shelves, the interplay of wood textures adds a rustic element while maintaining a sophisticated appeal.
Bold prints can inject life and personality into any rustic-chic space. Incorporate throw pillows, rugs, or curtains with geometric, tribal, or floral patterns, and stick to subdued hues like muted grays, soft beiges, or gentle taupes to keep the ambiance elegant. The balance between bold prints and neutral colors creates a harmonious blend that embodies the overall aesthetic.
To master the rustic-chic aesthetic, opt for warm neutrals such as beige, taupe, warm gray, and soft cream. These hues create a calming and inviting atmosphere, providing the perfect backdrop for the other design elements to shine. From wall colors to furniture pieces, warm and neutral color schemes ensure that all corners of a room or home exude a rustic feel.
To truly capture the rustic-chic essence, implement country-inspired decor and accents. Think horseshoe wall art, animal motifs, and rope details. These elements evoke a sense of countryside living, bringing a touch of nostalgia and character to your home. Whether through artwork, figurines, or even a creatively-placed piece of rope as decor, these accents add character and tell a story of rustic charm.
