RUSTIC MODERN
This
year I attended the Kitchen and Bath Industry show in Atlanta Georgia
with my daughter in law Adrienne. It was my intentions to take a
working vacation, we had planned to see all the sites, shop, lay out by
the pool and most important take in all the fantastic sites at the
Kitchen and bath show! Everything fell into place just as we planned
and the show was exciting as ever!
It would have been difficult to not have noticed the infusion of contemporary and old world or also called rustic modern design.Stone pedestal vanities with a modern twist to glazed cabinetry with rustic birch countertops and glass backsplashes.
For many of us, the thought of decorating in the modern style can be a scary one. Images of sterile, stern lines come to mind, often suggesting cold and unwelcoming environments. But the idea of modern doesn't always mean minimal and white. Today we're seeing designers and homeowners alike pairing rustic finishes and furnishings with crisp aluminum and glass details. The look is a sort of rustic transitional. The beauty of transitional design is that it affords the ability to create an eclectic look, pulling from both traditional and modern stylings.
An obvious interest in pieces that evoke a respect for nature and are sustainable accounts for the some of the mix, but for many it's the desire to blend simple lines with warm finishes that has caused this transitional look to take hold. Transitional design is perfect for homeowners who want an easy take on modern or a slightly edgier approach to traditional.
