Revisiting Heritage Items with an Eye on the Future

It’s possible to style a space with clean lines and intentional design without sacrificing comfort. But it helps to have a theme--a guiding principle to help organize comforting elements.

One theme is for design to pay homage to one's heritage. This is what makes a modern rustic space feel like part cabin, part contemporary. It’s a nod to a bygone era of craftsmanship, and the proud display of its wares in the modern day.

Modern rustic designs show off vintage pieces that have a backstory, and surrounds them with modern comfort. The archives and antiques of your region are a great source of inspiration for this unique design style. Perhaps there’s an iconic stoneware brand or a local furniture maker whose pieces always catch your eye in antique stores. Or maybe you’re looking for a way to incorporate your favorite mid-century modern pieces into a more coherent scheme.

Complementary colors in a range of browns and greys can help make a space pop, like using CoreLuxe Winterwood Oak floor underneath a walnut desk for an office. Finishes are matte, nothing harsh, glossy, or jagged. Metal light fixtures are a great way to deliver the modern element of this design--just make sure the finishes aren’t too brassy.
