Materials
As it’s said above – rustic style is about textures, and you should provide lots of them. One of the main features of a modern rustic home is raw wood and stone in decor. If you can preserve the character and original architectural detail — show off that old stone wall! If you build new, expose your beams, use reclaimed wood, or include a stone fireplace, even a faux stone one will be fine. Keep your furniture upholstery neutral, and include linen, faux fur throw pillows, jute, sisal, and hides for natural appeal.

Furniture And Decor
The whole point of this style is to get all the charm and warmth of a rustic dwelling, with all of the conveniences and style of a modern home. As we are talking of modern rustic style, mid-century modern pieces are perfect for such a space — the unadorned leather and wood is a perfect material match. You may also include one or two vintage items to give a nod to eclectics. This style is all about being cozy, so you’ve got to have a fireplace. You can choose a rustic style in stone, or a modern wood stove. The same goes to decor: you may rock stylish modern artwork, go for potted greenery to refresh the space, or even rock some vintage pieces, some chalet and woodland-inspired decor, which will be another cozy touch in the space.
