Modern Rustic Home Ideas (+ Key Characteristics)

Modern rustic homes have an authentic charm, but that doesn't mean you have to compromise on your budget. Below are three simple steps you can follow to bring a touch of warmth to any room.

1) Pick a Neutral Palette

  • In a rustic modern house, a monochromatic neutral palette creates a relaxing, simple environment, perfect for easily mixing and matching furniture and accessories. Since rustic charm doesn't put color at the center stage, it's all about textures.
  • In a modern rustic kitchen, natural light and greenery bring life into the space.
  • Modern rustic homes love wood and distressed finishes to add to the rustic ambiance.

2) Make Sure Each Piece has a Purpose
