Hi all, I'm Susi, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, a site that specializes in quality lighting fixtures. I love visiting design blogs like A Furnished Light to do guest posts. Rustic in the city sounds like an oxymoron. In reality, this is a design trend that pairs rustic elements with modern design to create a perfect style for the city. Mixing in rustic elements, and even a few farmhouse designs, into a mostly modern or contemporary space is a great way to add character. Here are some of my favorite examples of the rustic modern city style.
This incredible staircase is a great example of mixing modern (the space) with rustic (the wood of the stairs) into a style that is perfect for the city. Loft style combines rustic elements, like exposed beams and brick, with modern lines in furniture and accessories.
Mixing rustic and modern works well for a dining room in the city. A large table made from reclaimed wood surrounded by modern chairs makes for a stylish combination.
School house style lighting creates a modern feeling space even when set against a more rustic table. Love all the texture and character in the table against the smooth lines of the pendant lights.
This console table is made from reclaimed wood and steel. The materials are rustic yet the style is decidedly modern. Perfect for an entry hall in a city apartment or loft.
Weathered and aged surfaces paired with sleek, clean lines is a great way to create city style with modern and rustic pieces. An aged painted piece of furniture with tons of patina looks amazing when combined with contemporary piece of furniture or light fixture.
Rustic paired with white, black or neutral colors puts the emphasis on line and form. This rustic island in black, with an industrial pendant light overhead, becomes the focal point of the kitchen.
Rustic wood adds tons of texture to a minimalist modern space. It creates a great contrast for the smooth surfaces and lines of modern furniture.
Love the barn wood wall that divides the living space and sleeping area in this studio apartment. Reclaimed wood adds nice warmth and character to any space. Such an interesting mix of styles in the ceiling light, chairs and benches.
