10 Ways to Add Rustic Ambiance to Your Modern Home?


Categories: Miscellaneous Posts

The fast lane is awesome for doing business, and for cut throat competition inside the boardroom, but most urban dwellers know how tiring their lifestyles are. When they come home, they want a homey, cozy feeling to nourish them and remind them of the easy life they used to live (with their parents). The solution? Create your own cottage in the city!

The vintage look is rife with stories and history. For a lot of people, the way they decorate their homes with memorabilia reflects their love for their family members, particularly the ones that passed away. Most people let go of these memories to embrace the miimalistic life, but there comes a point when you just want to go back to the past and bring it with you to the present.

How to get that rustic, homey look for your urban abode?

1. Use curtains instead of shades
2. Wooden floors, get rid of the rugs and wax the floors. If you have to use rugs, use hemp rugs that are more decorative than functional.
3. Brass, carved/engraved door handles polished until gleaming.
4. Airy fabrics like cottons for curtains and bed spreads
5. Accessorize with unique antiques; tasteful ones with a myriad of stories to tell!
6. When inviting guests over, hide the treadmills and decorate with strategically placed spa gift baskets.
7. Think floral couch covers, table covers, matching pot holders and pots of indoor plants and flowers
8. If you can trade your couch for wooden ones with light airy foams, do it.
9. The walls must be adorned with sentimental pieces like pastel water colors and peaceful landscapes.
10. Vintage appliances can be bought, but make sure they’re still functional to keep everything rustic but convenient.
