What is Rustic Luxe?
It’s the name we’ve given to a design trend that we’ve noted at recent design shows and in design publications. We’re also seeing it in fireplace design. It’s a blend of rustic materials, like stone, brick and barnboard, with more luxe items like crystal chandeliers or modern furniture icons.
Picture modern Eames chairs against the reclaimed brick wall of an industrial loft — that’s Rustic Luxe!
The key to the look is to make either the ‘rustic’ or the ‘luxe’ elements dominant. If you are half rustic and half luxe, your room will be a design flop.
Another key is to bring an ‘outdoor’ element indoors. You can incorporate brick, concrete, or barnboard into the room. Be careful not to go overboard — you’re not trying to recreate the barn!
How do I apply Rustic Luxe to Fireplace Design?
When it comes to fireplace design, Rustic Luxe is a fabulous way to highlight wall-mounted electric fireplaces.
