    Modern Rustic Inspiration

    Growing up on a farm, I feel at home in a rustic interior.  That being said, I also like interiors that are uncluttered and have very clean lines.  One doesn’t easily find a straight line in nature, so in my eyes blending straight, clean lines with natural organic elements is an art form.  Here are some interiors that I think perfectly blend modern with rustic.

    Yes. Dark hardwood floors.  Tons of natural light. Textured wide wood plank ceilings. Sliding barn doors. YES.

    I think this is Meg Ryan’s kitchen.  Love all of the white and wooden beams.

    You can also successfully incorporate bright colors in a neutral palette.  I’d personally use the brights as accents or pops of color.

    Man oh man.  I’d be getting dirty A LOT just to spend more time in this bathroom.  Pepple tile on the floor, copper tub, wide wood plank walls, exposed brick….!!

    This bedroom is styled to the hilt but I’m a sucker for a pretty bed.  The headboard brings in texture and an organic sensibility, while the window casings and moldings create a tailored look.

    Are my stables just outside to the right?  That’s what I’d expect if this were my foyer. Exposed wood beams, stone floors, a mirrored wall..that amazing neutral and monochrome oriental rug!!

    Tired of the same old wainscoting and paint and wallpaper?  Consider shiplap or wood plank walls for a unique and rustic look.  The straight diagonals, verticals, and horizontals keep this hall and staircase crisp and clean.

    Moroccan Interiors: beautiful and airy spaces

    Moroccan interiors have a soft spot in my heart ever since our trip to Morocco.  With the ease, focus on comfort, and beautiful craftsmanship it’s hard to find something not to like.

    Moroccan interior bedroom

    One thing about Moroccan homes that I loved were the courtyards. Granted, I don’t live in a climate where an open, roofless home would be practical, but it was so nice to come in from the busy street and have a little privacy while still feeling like you are outside.  Ornate wood and plaster carving also adorns a lot of riads in Morocco.

    Part of the ease of Moroccan interiors is that there are always places to plenty of places to relax and lounge.  Layers of textiles also promote comfort.

    I would love to be able to take home an ornately carved door or column and have it installed in my home.

    Interiors for a light heart

    With our new little man in our life, our hearts are about as full and light as can be. I thought I’d try to share those feelings with interiors for a light heart. Enjoy!

    I love adding different elements of the world into my home decor and I’ve always been a fan of the Moroccan style but haven’t quite implemented in my own home decor in now!

    What’s so unique about Moroccan decor is the intricate details they have everywhere! Patterns and colors and textures combined to make a beautiful piece of furniture or decor.

    I can definitely see myself buying some throw pillows with gorgeous patterns like these.

    One thing they are very well known for is their lanterns and lamps. I would love to get lighting inspired by that style.

    And of course you can’t leave out a jaw dropping mirror. The fine detail they add to the decor is simply stunning.
